New Pre-Quilted Fabrics

We just received an order of pre-quilted fabrics and already have 3 samples to show you! We used Quick Casserole Cover by Legacy Patterns, the Three Pocket Tote by Quilt Company and The Sebago Tote by Aunties Two to make these quick projects (shown left to right below). Seriously, any of these could still be started and finished in time for the holidays. Don't forget our adopted holiday family and our wrapping party for their gifts on Friday night December 17th! See you soon!

Our Christmas Family

This year will be our second opportunity to help a local family have a nice Christmas holiday. Our family was contacted by the local elementary school and asked if they would be interested in having a little help. The father they spoke with was very emotional and appreciative.
Our family is a hardworking mom and dad, a 6-year old boy, and 11-year old boy and a kitty.
The items on the wish lists provided to us by the parents are listed individually on ornaments hanging on our shop Christmas tree. If you'd like to purchase one of the items, stop by and choose an ornament. If you'd like to send us a donation to go towards the purchase of the items, please send it to the shop (190 Front Street, Bath, ME 04530). The parents did not give us any suggestions for themselves, so we're going to be creative! And we won't forget the kitty.
If you are able to help us, please choose and bring back your gift by Friday 12/17. We'll be wrapping all the gifts on Friday night (all local businesses will be open until 8PM). You're invited to join us for an evening of wrapping, food and holiday cheer!

Festival of Trees

Today is the opening of the YMCA fundraiser, the Festival of Trees. The festival is held this year at the Sewall House on Washington Street in Bath and the house is bursting at the seams with decorated Christmas trees! Each tree has been "sponsored" and decorated by a local business or non-profit organization. Our shop decorated the dining room mantle with quilted and paper crafted items.
The theme this year is "A Deep Blue Christmas."


The Gala reception is Wednesday night from 6-8pm and the $25 tickets can be purchased at the YMCA and various downtown locations. Thanks for supporting the YMCA!
