Rhiannon made this memory quilt for a friend of the parents!

Carol Antis made these tribute quilt in honor of her nephew.  

She made them for her nephew's wife and children.

Not a quilt, but made with t-shirts that contain memories!  Jessica Woods Robinson made this very cool top for her granddaughter, Tessa to wear!

Here's the back!  It would would look great with leggings!  

Beverly Szen and Donna Mellor made this t-shirt memory quilt for Donna's son!

Ann McKinney made this signature quilt with William Morris Fabrics!

The Studio Club ladies made this quilt for Sue Campbell in appreciation for all the years she has taught and continues to teach them!



Kathryn Butterworth made this cracker box quilt not as a memory quilt but it could be!  This is one of my favorites to use for writing signatures on for an event or occasion memory quilt.

Susan Hebb brought in this baby quilt that she made for her new great-granddaughter Sarah Elizabeth!

Quilts By Ellie Held

This month we are featuring quilts made by Ellie Held on our design walls!

There's still time to come in and see them!



Most of them are hand quilted by Ellie!


Lots of hand quilting!


Ellie has been playing with old linens that she is rescuing  and mounting on a fabric and hand quilting!





Here's another of her old linen pieces!


Isn't this cool!  This doily looks great on this background!

Lots and Lots of New Fabric!

A lot of new fabric has been arriving in the last couple of weeks! Here's a sampling of new arrivals!

Sphere from Moda is one of my favorites! I love the color of this, beautiful blues!  Willie loved it too and immediately took it home and made a sphere with it!!  It's actually a round baby quilt with soft minkee in the center and on the back!  



Ansonia by Denyse Schmidt has arrived!

There's lots of colors, patterns, and textures to mix and make wonderful quilts out of!


I am always drawn to the pinks and bright greens!


From Marcus we have Subtle Skies!  Soft blues with creamy yellow!  Picture it with a wicker chair for a cottage look!

Lumina from Robert Kaufman is very elegant and intense!  


Hearty Good Wishes from Moda is here!  It's very Nantucket / Cape Cod!!  A classic nautical line with whales, perfect for Cape Cod!

Janet Clare was nice enough to publish a book with lots of ideas for things to make using her fabric!! It's great!! 

Michael Miller sent us some Midnight Gems,


some baby elephants, 

and some other necessary fabrics!! 

Come in and see - there's more in the shop!!

Quilts

A few storms ago these women were down on the Cape visiting from Needham!  A couple were down for the day and the rest had come for a couple of days on a "Snowstorm Escape" mission!
Pictured are Sally, Lynn, Anne, Elizabeth, (holding her quilt), Elaine, and Ellen!

Here's Ellen holding her quilt!  Elizabeth and Ellen have been playing with the same pattern.  It's fun to see how different they look!

This is another look at Ellen's quilt with Lynn helping to hold it up!

Willie Fiedler, Kellie Parham, and Suzanne Adler attended a class taught by Charlotte Angotti and were given kits to work with and here is the result!  They all put there own touch to them!
