Greetings!   

Happy Spring everybody!  It's such a time of new life.  I love the flowers that are bursting open in my yard and all the little green sprouts with the promise of more.
 
Here at Sweet Treasures, spring means the "birth" of new patterns, and boy we've been working hard!  Soooo  this will be short.  Fabric awaits.....
 
Take time to enjoy the signs of spring and maybe "birth" a new quilt or two!
 
Happy Quilting  ~ Terri

Sweet Treasures Studio
 
"We're" still working hard on the studio.  (not really me, the guys).  The Dale's were here today working on the Powder Room.  New gutter's up.  Electrical will be finished up soon.  Heating/cooling is coming soon....then sheet rock.  I think I'm looking forward to that part because then it really starts to feel like it's not far to go.  They truly are working magic out there.  I love how nothing is to big of an obstacal for these guys.
 
This would never be happening without the Dale's.  So much detail and so many things to think about and they can keep it all straight.  Thanks Kelli for loaning your husband and son to me for this project! 
Quilt Sampler Magazine
 
If you read my blog or are a customer of Hollyhill Quilt Shop you probably already know they are one of the featured stores in the upcoming Top Ten Quilt Sampler magazine coming out mid May.  I was priveledged to design their quilt for them that is featured in the magazine.  And for a little icing on the cake, the Hollyhill quilt that I designed was chosen to be on the cover of the magazine!  What an honor.  The quilts name is "Summer Sky". 
 
Jan and Brian Hill are a delight to work with and the experience has been great.  They are so deserving of this honor.  Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe is AMAZING!  If you are a quilter and have never been, I think that would actually fit into the category of a sin!  If you haven't been there you must go and experience this wonderful shop.
 
May 8th they are having a "Top Ten" party and that would be a perfect time to check it out.  They have a fabulous store and trust me, they throw a fabulous party!
 
Click on the link below for a sneak peak at the magazine cover, a picture of" Summer Sky", and information on pre-ordering a kit of the quilt if you'd like.  I will be teaching a class on the construction of the quilt at Hollyhill ~ dates conming soon.
 
 
Also, here's a link to Brians blog which will have updates about the party.  So be sure and stay tuned to Brians blog and mine so you don't miss out on all the fun.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this newletter!
 Happy Quilting ~ Terri

Featured Patterns
May Basket
21" x 21" wallhanging
 A wallhanging with layered, machine appliqued flowers in a sweet basket.  A cheerful spring addition. 
 
 
 
Cobblestones
This quilt is 1 of the 5 quilts in the "Five Fabulous Lap Quilts" book. 1 layer cake and 1 charm pack is all you need to make the top!  It's fun and fast.  This would make a great graduation or wedding gift for someone special.
 
 
Pillow Talk
 
These pillows are great fun.  The pattern is written with a travel size as an example but gives instructions to customize a pillow to whatever size you'd like.  Full size alphabet.  Whether you spell out a word, enlarge a single letter for a monogram...the skies the limit.
 
"Welcome" for the guest room ~ a name for a childs room ~ inspirational word ~ or hobby, they'll all be a hit.  These also make a great gift item.
