I Believe In Santa by Nancy Halvorsen

I Believe In Santa panel

The fabric collection I Believe in Santa by Nancy Halvorsen for Benartex has arrived!

From Benartex web site: “We believe that just one look at this charming new collection will make you believe in Santa too! There’s something about Nancy’s fabrics that make people remember the important things in life-family, laughter, dreams, hope. These are just a few of the heartwarming themes of her new Christmas panel. With warm colors and loads of rich textures and plaids of rich garnet red, amber, loden green or teal, I Believe in Santa, is the perfect choice for all your holiday projects.”

Happy Spring!


I’m getting so excited about our April retreat, Quilting on the Blue Ridge. I’ve picked the project and I’m ready to start. We leave Thursday, April 16th for 4 full days of quilting, food and fun. The quilt pattern is – oh, I can’t tell you that – but if you can’t make it to the retreat and still want to make the quilt, sign up for my Mystery class on April 24th from 10:00am to 3:00pm. You’ll love it!

Overall QuilterAs you may have noticed if you clicked on any of the links in this email, I’ve redesigned our website. Besides updating the nuts and bolts under the covers, I’ve added a blog page, new search capabilities, new categories, links to our Twitter and Facebook pages, etc. Still to come are a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page, pages highlighting Kay’s machine quilting, our teachers, retreats and videos. I even have plans to create an online shop!

Last, but not least, we’re having an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 5th from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. Find an egg and it may have a special discount!

See you at the shop!
