SPRING!  Spring has sprung at the BASIN!  We are starting to share a few of our NEW spring designs with you on our website!  We are loving working with our vintage look wools!  They lend themselves so nicely to spring themed designs!  We also have designed some fantastic "LUCKY" Clover & Chick designs for this time of year!  They will blend in nicely with other spring designs and are able to be kept out throughout the entire spring!  Plus… you can never have to many "LUCKY" Clovers around!!!  I LOVE 4 leaf clovers!  AND - since I am talking about the 4 leaf clover….

NEW Hexi Kits * NEW Bringing Home the Tree BOM * St. Patty's Party * SHOP OPEN

Happy "LUCKY" Friday!  Today we are giving away kits of the NEW MARCH HEXI Mat over on our FB page!  We know you all have been waiting for the release of this pattern/kit as well as our companion project, Hexi "WORD" Door Greeter March!  These were SOO fun to design!  I know many of us don't have much décor for St. Patty's Day… so these will be great pieces to make and enjoy!!!!  Don't forget… next weekend we will have more March "themed" projects too, as we celebrate St. Patty's Day at the shop and ONLINE! 



I hear many of you have missed my posts over the last couple of weeks!  You know I LOVE YOU guys!!!  I have missed you too!!!!  As many of you know, I am also a momma to two beautiful girls…. Hannah & Gracie!  And… since Han is graduating, I am making sure I enjoy these last few months with her before she leaves the nest!  It is bittersweet!  It seemed most of my time over the last two weeks was spent with them!  For starters, Gracie turned 15 and took her drivers written test on Monday & passed!!!!  {Now I have 2 girls with permits!  Double the worry!}  Grace also had her dance banquet, where she lettered as a Freshman & received a few awards!  She also needed help with a senior board for her "big sister" in dance and is now Lacrosse has started!  Hannah has kept me the busiest with robotics, appointments, reveal nights, orchestra & college stuff!! LOL!  She just found out she got into the University or MN, as well as, Iowa State.  We have been getting the ducks in a row for college and started to think about her grad party!  And yes, I am also working on the house!  I totally need to STOP watching Joanna!  Now I am in the process of making a wood wall!  Say what?  LOL!  Last weekend Hannah's team had their 1st robotics practice comp and today started their 1st "real" regional competition!  So I am writing this from the hotel room in Duluth, MN!  We can't wait to watch them today and Saturday!

Of course, the shop has been keeping me busy too!  We are knee deep in spring designs!  In the next two weeks you will see a lot of new chicks, bunnies, tulips and of course, new wool bundles!   We also have finally received fabric to offer a SMALLER amount of kits then we had hoped for -  for our Bringing Home the Tree BOM!  Starting now, we will be offering this as a BOM.  Each month, we will release the kits for the next block, ending with a finishing kit!  You will receive the pattern for that block and the kit each month.  We know many of you have struggled with getting the same color palette or "look" of our quilt… so we are THRILLED to make this happen for you!  You can order it online under the NEW! NEW! NEW! category!  We would LOVE to offer MORE kits, but we just can't get enough of the woven fabrics to make it happen!  That is why we have had to wait soooo long to start this BOM!  It has been a struggle to get supplies lately…. 

FABRIC LINE!  I can finally say that today I sent the last package off to Henry Glass for my fabric line!  YIPPEE!  My work is complete!  My panel turned out cooler then I had expected!  {Happy dance!}  I can also let you know that it will be available to order at spring market, in May!  It will hit the shops by fall!  It is very different then my last line!  I think you all will be pleasantly surprised!  Of, course, it still has some great prints that I know you will love!  There is a bit more to this line, but I am not allowed to share it until market with you!  I am so sorry!  I guarantee you will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next week I will be doing a trunk show and teaching in New Ulm, MN.  They have allowed me to open it up to any of you who would love to have any of you come!  It is on Thursday, March 9th.  Class is 12:30 to 4:30 and the trunk show is at 7:00 pm.  You can call Bonnie at 507-228-8536 to sign up.  It is held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 201 N. State Street, New Ulm MN.  I'd love to see you there!!!
Thanks for meeting back up here today!  I hope you all have had a great week and have a fantastic weekend!  Don't forget to leave a comment over on our FB for a chance to win the new kits!   Don't forget the shop is open next week {Thurs-Sat}!  We will also be having our St. Patty's Party/Workshop at the shop!  You can sign up for 1 of 3 sessions!  We will also be celebrating online as well!  Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!  Stacy
