February 2022 Journal
Hello, Friends! The weather is cold outside, but the temperature inside has been perfect for getting some stitching done! We have all been busy here at the studio working to get many new kits cut and packaged for your stitching needs. We are restocking our threads, new fabrics are arriving, and we are happy to announce that we have received Tilda's newest release, Windy Days, it is just beautiful, and many of you are already adding it into your stash, and some have already started sewing up some great projects.
Keep a watch out for the unveiling of original Farmgirl Quilts patterns to the studio, we are really excited to share our own ideas with all of you.
This month we will launch a workshop series of Season's of the Heart, from Bonnie Sullivan, All Through the Night. As usual we have put our spin on the colors, which you should find eye pleasing for sure. Class and Club groups are underway, please look through the listings, and plan your calendar spending a little time here with us.
Mini art quilts are in the making throughout this year as well. We have been busy with the hopes that you will all find something that interests you.
We promise to provide inspiration, creativity and friendship with each visit. Don't forget that we are stocked with your wool applique, creative stitching and quilting needs.
