Layer Cake

Cutting Cake Book by " Creekside Stitches"
Layer Cake Lap Quilt


Good Friday Everyone,

Just thought you might like to see this latest quilt I made for the shop using:
1 Layer cake
Binding and Backing

Its that easy ....the cutting and sewing go fast
and
wouldn't this make a great gift!

I used Moda's layer cake " Ladies Album"
I do believe this quilt would look good in any fabric .
Watch for more to come.

Happy Stitching,
Peg

New Groups

Happy Monday Everyone,

For those of you that do not know me, let me tell you a little about myself.
I reside and own a Quilt Shop in a tiny town in Upstate New York. I love all things primitive including rug hooking, needle punch, wool applique, stitchery and quilts.
My shop keeps me busy with the day to day business, but I like to find time to do some of the other things that I love which include all of the above.
So I have decided to join a couple of online groups to keep me inspired and motivated . I have followed Lori of Notforgotten Farms for a while now and she is one busy lady. She recently started a rug hooking group called "The Out of Hand Rug Hookers" and has invited me to join. Yippee!
I also joined a stitchery group called " Prim Stitchers Society" that has captured my heart.
I will be posting some of my projects along the way.....you never know what they will be.
For my quilting friends, I have not forgotten about my love for traditional, primitive and civil war quilts. After all, I am still a quilt shop with a lot of fabric and a lot of wool!
And lets not forget about my two furry girls ( my M&M girls) Molly and Mia  they will appear from time to time.
So lets get started....
Although I am not much of a rug hooker yet, I am having fun with this pumpkin pattern from " The Old Tattered Flag" called ...Jack O with a Crow. He just called to me and I love him. I have been hooking him in my spare time and he probably wont be done anytime soon, so hang in there with me.
I would love your comments and feedback and any tips for this  newbie hooker, but for now I am flying by the seat of my pants.



                                                                Sweet Mia
                                                                     Sassy Molly

                                                                HAPPY HOOKING,
