Color Your World

I was surprised when the UPS driver stopped in front of the store today and lugged in a wide array of heavy boxes.   Our thread displays & thread have arrived!   We have the full 42 color display of Mettler Poly Sheen Multi thread, for your embroidery and sewing pleasure.  I love the color schemes of [...]

Summer Gone Already?

I’ve seen signs that summer is winding down. School has started and my college-aged daughter is back in Ohio and already busy. Baseball is approaching its final weeks and the playoffs will be here soon. But, perhaps the biggest indicator for me was the truck arriving yesterday with many Babylock goodies for [...]

Edie’s Latest Creation

We haven’t seen Edie lately, but she’s been busy creating in her studio.  I’m sure you’ll agree that her creativity is really highlighted when she uses her Babylock Embellisher!  The photos of her new purse just don’t do it justice, so you’ll have to come in to see her creation!

Quest

I’ve hinted at what a super machine this is, but never gave you much detail.  I am anxiously awaiting its arrival at the store, and have cleared room for it and the other wonderful additions to our Babylock line, including the new Grace Aluminum Quilt Frame (more on that later!)  For those of you wondering [...]

More on the Journey

The Quest is a great machine for quilters, but more on that at the store. I know you really want to see a few pictures and to know what’s been going on! Tomorrow, I’m headed for classes with Eleanor Burns, Nancy Zieman and Martha Pullen and look forward to all of them! [...]

Babylock…”for the love”

We left cool temperatures in Bloomington yesterday, to arrive in steamy St. Louis in the early evening for Babylock Tech! As we trudged from the parking lot through Union Station to the beautiful Hyatt Regency, my husband said, “There’s Nancy Zieman!” I wasn’t even paying attention, but he spotted his first (of many) [...]

Kim’s Famous Cinnamon Rolls

I promised the recipe for Kim’s Cinnamon Rolls made from a cake mix, so here it is–Kim’s Famous Cinnamon Rolls!

Late Addition

A late addition to the class list for September is a beginning quilting class on September 18th, from 5:00-8:00 PM.  You’ll be making a great wall hanging and learn piecing, quilting and binding, all while you create a pop-out picture quilt!  Email the store or come by for more details.
