September 2022 Journal
As I look outside I already see the tips of the leaves changing around the studio, apples are falling from the trees and the squirrels have started to gather. Fall is that time of year when we can appreciate the crisp evenings and cool breeze, a reprieve from the hot dog days of summer, it's the time of year when snuggling up with a cozy quilt and hot beverage seems to cure the stresses of each day.
It's quilting season! The warm colors of nature bloom across the board in threads, wools, and fabrics, new patterns and projects speak to us in memories of childhood and the rearing of your own families. We gather to make new memories, continue traditions, care for those we love and retreat with friends in honor of our love and friendships. It's the kind of season that truly brings warmth and love to all we do.
We have been very busy here in the Studio, new fabrics, threads, patterns and products have been arriving weekly, and we continue to kit many new quilts and projects for your selection.
We are anticipating the arrival of Tilda's newest collection, Hometown in bolts, bundles and buttons, in October! We are very excited to share these beautiful fabrics with all of you.
