Good News & Bad News

Bad News:

Today was our last day for shop hours.

It was something I wanted to try out for the summer, but soon realized that appointments may work better for us all.

After all, it is hard to try and keep my kids sane for the 3 hours I am open.

Sad that they can't behave well for 3 hours, but true.

We are still open for you to make appointments to come over and shop around.

Mornings... afternoons... evenings... weekends...it all works. Just email me or call me to set up a time that you would like to come over and shop around.

I love having you come visit!

I love sharing my love/obsession for fabric with you!

Please don't be a stranger. Call anytime!

And now for the good news!

I finally finished a project I was working on.

This bag turned out so cute!

I wish I could have gotten a picture of my daughter with it slung over her shoulder.

Maybe tomorrow.

Too cute!

We carry this pattern in the shop.

I think it is my new favorite.

Not too hard, and the perfect amount of cutesy.

Happy Sewing!

Another Birthday Project

I am little late getting this posted,

okay, okay

a LOT late!

Summer is a busy time around here, as I am sure it is in your households. But boy are we loving it!

I wanted to make my little man a birthday sign, and I had seen so many cute one's done out of paper, that I thought fabric would be adorable too.

And it was!

I had a fabulous plan to hang it on his new swingset outside, but that darn winter weather that we were experiencing here (in june) didn't agree with me. We found a spot for it though.

♣I used all scraps. They didn't all match, but that was the fun of it!

♣I ironed some stiff interfacing to the back of the scraps, and then used my pinking shears to cut out the triangles.

♣I ironed on the letters, and didn't plan on stitching around them, but the white fabric was a little transparent and needed a little help. It still looked cute.

♣ Then I sewed some ric rac across the tops to string them together, and viola!

It is now folded up nicely in my closet waiting for his next birthday! I can't wait to make my daughter one for her upcoming special day!

Art Gallery

I am VERY excited to introduce Art Gallery Fabrics into our shop!

Patterns and Fabric!

This is what we received today in our first shipment from Art Gallery, and we will be adding lots more in the months to come.

Mesmerizing, aren't they?

Help!

Hi all!

Hope you had a great weekend. I know we are sure enjoying this fabulous weather!

I had oodles of time this weekend to work on my first quilt, Hurray!

And now it is almost finished, Double Hurray!

But I am in need of some help. I am ready to have it quilted and don't know who to take it to. Do any of you know anyone who quilts in the Rexburg, Rigby or Idaho Falls area? I don't know of anyone. If you have a minute and know someone, please let me know. I will be eternally grateful!

Leave a message or email me at asweetbyram@yahoo.com

Thanks so much!

I'll be back tomorrow with some new prints for the shop!

Berry Sweet Tweets!

We got in some "Berry Sweet Tweets" this week.

So sweet in fact, that I just might have to drop everything I am doing and get started on this bag right away.

It's pretty much adorable.

And this sweet quilt pattern is next on my list.

Now that summer is finally here, I do believe I better get started on this pattern too!

Good grief, I just don't have time for all these sweet projects!

And now for the "Tweets" that arrived this week....

Tufted Tweets by Laurie Wisbrun.
