Spring Quilt Market in Minneapolis was great!  We have so many new books and patterns to share with you.   We took lots of pictures....be sure to visit our website where you'll find a slideshow highlighting all the wonderful quilts and quilt designers we visited.  Stop by the shop to see all the new books and patterns.  We've even finished a few samples to inspire you!
 
The Cinnamon Sticks Triangle Reveal party is on June 4 at 6:30.  Even if you didn't participate but want to see what it's all about, please come...you will be inspired to participate in this round!  We can't wait to see what you have created! 
 
Our new half square triangle program uses 1800s reproduction fabric and we'll be trading some of our triangles with The Tater Patch in Merrill, OR!  Cinnamon Sticks for the current program will be sold through June 12 and they will be due on June 30. (Please see our Events page for more information on the Cinnamon Stick program)
 
Pillowcase update:  We've collected over 400 pillowcases!  According to the American Patchwork & Quilting website over 90,000 pillowcases have been donated!  Thanks for participating in this wonderful event!

Congratulations, Nancy!
