Owl and Mouse party

Tonight! Go! Have fun!!

Keith Richards

Last Sunday I finally was able to get Keith Richards' autobiography at the library and have been reading it non-stop ever since.

Since my thought process naturally runs from Keith Richards to Johnny Depp (What, doesn't yours?) I thought I would post, for your viewing pleasure, the video for Paul McCartney's new video which features one Mr. Depp and Natalie Portman.

Once again, please note that the store will be closed tomorrow as we will be at the Kaw Valley Quilt show!

Gingko Press

We just opened a couple of boxes from Gingko Press, and I am here to tell you we have some delicious book. Books that have textured covers and shiny paper. Books that smell so good! Here are a few favorites, but there are more where these came from...

Empty Bobbin patterns

Look who came to us in the mail today? New patterns from our friends at Empty Bobbin! Shea has come up with some great new projects for us. And we are excited that two of the quilts are new patterns from our friend Angela Walters! It's a KCquiltin' love fest!





Kate's Lazy Meadow

I've fallen in love and will now have to devote the whole day to vacation planning. Which would be fine if I didn't have 3 classes to teach and a store to take care of. Anyway, has anyone come across Kate's Lazy Meadow? It is a group of cabins and airstreams located in the Catskill mountains and owned by the B-52's singer Kate Pierson. So of course all the cabins are gorgeous, bright, retro and super fun! The challenge would be to choose airstream vs. cabin. Airstream is fun because it's, well an airstream, but the cabins are gorgeous and have amazing 50's kitchens.

Which would you choose?

Kaw Valley Quilt Show

Hey everyone, so this weekend we will be packing up the store and hittin' the road...to the Kaw Valley Quilt Show in Lawrence! Yes, we are moving lock stock and barrel to Lawrence for a couple of days, which means we will be CLOSED this Saturday. If you want to see us, you'll have to track us down at the quilt show.

Modern Bite cookies

I saw these cookies on pinterest. (Are you on pinterest? Of course you are! If you aren't then you should take a look at it, it's fun)Anyway, the moment I saw these cookies from Modern Bite I fell in love. Aren't they gorgeous? The colors, the design...I feel like this is what Mary Blair's cookies would look like if she was a baker. They also do gorgeous cakes, cupcakes etc. but I think the cookies are where it's at. And you can order a gift box full and have them shipped. Wouldn't that be the best gift ever?
