Your next clue for the mystery quilt!
Hello Reader,
Happy March!
Here comes March. The month of green. Herbert is still hiding among special groupings of fabric, just waiting for you to find him. Remember, if you find him, you can get the fabric he is showcasing for 40% off in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. Special runs until March 17th.
I also hope you enjoyed the first clue from The Community Garden Mystery Quilt we gave you in the last newsletter. The second clue is out now- scroll down for more details in this email.
Remember, if you haven’t started yet, we have a great deal for you. You get a discount on your fabric purchased for this project!
“What did the quilter blame for having too many children? Reproduction fabric.. ”

A St. Patrick's themed gift!
I know we shared this with you last newsletter, but thought we'd include it this time too, since there is still time to make your St. Patrick's Day projects. This is a tutorial for a St. Patrick's Day themed mug rug. Hope you enjoy!

Contest time!
Entries are coming in to the designs for our new Tweed reminiscent fabric. Please keep them coming. We are so excited to see what patterns you envision to make use of this unique fabric. It is so soft and tweed-like in appearance but 100% pure cotton.
One suggestion that came in is to use the grey tweed with black in the Easy Two Colour Quilt pattern we featured last newsletter.
Great suggestion and we know there are many more ideas. Remember there are prizes for participation and for the winning suggestion!
Click below for more details on the contest. Prizes for participation, AND for creativity.

Hello Reader, Welcome to August I can’t believe it. It’s August already. July is in the past and what a tumultuous month it was. For us it began with a hail storm on July 1 st which wiped out many of our fields and damaged almost everything else including our house, our buildings and our trees.
