Timeless Threads

There are a bunch of fun events happening soon, that ya'll need to know about!!!


First up, we have "Timeless Threads" which is themed "Then and Now." We are working with the Dr. Pound House Museum to show off some of the modern quilts. In fact, the ladies from the modern quilt guild will be showing their quilts at our store! Please come drop by and be inspired by these ladies amazing work!

On Sunday (the 14tth) we will have a Free-motion Quilting Class going on at the same time! It's a great way to get comfortable with the technique on a small project. Besides, you'll be surrounded by all of those amazing modern quilts to encourage you!

Last, but not least, we will have the author Alice Diane Durand signing her book Quilts, Tacos & Tattoos in the store! If you want to snag a copy before you come, you can find the book on Amazon.com.

All of these events would be perfect for a date or a night out on the town! I hope we see you there!

Modern Day Tapestries

I love hanging quilts and art quilts. That may be part of why I  like Valli & Kim's so much. They've got quilts on the walls and hanging from the rafters. And I was thinking the other day that quilts are like a modern day version of Tapestries. Just think back to castle dwelling times, with drafty winters and little light. Those Tapestries indicated wealth and status while helping to insulate those cold rooms. So next time, when your spouse gives you that stern look for buying so much fabric, just tell 'em the quilts you're making are just a symbol of their magnificence and power!

How do you display your quilts?
