What a glorious day in Snyder Texas ~

Today has been a great day ~ I have seen returning customers who have been ill and are on the mend ~ ready to get back into their love of quilting! 

While I was out yesterday Brooke received two large shipments ~
    Moda ~ Double Chocolate 21 bolts!  eek ~ this line is beautiful ~ go to United Notions Moda to see this new line ~ there is yardage on the bolt, pre-cuts of layers, jelly's charms and new today is the candy ( more about candy in a few!)

    Clothworks ~ Gypsy 10 bolts with a project sheet of this fun line ~ 3 paisleys and small florals with a stripe in teal, gray and green ~ love this line.

I think I am the Jelly Roll Queen of West Texas these days ~ I can't get enough of these fun cuts ~ I received brights and pastels along with neutrals and browns ~ you can make great quilts or use for sashing and binding and not have to cut the tedious 2 1/2" strips!

Now about the candy ~ these are 2 1/2" square mini charms that will be great to integrate into a jelly roll race quilt ~ There is a project book that has 18 ideas.  As a test market we ordered 3 lines of "Odds Ends", "Double Chocolate" and "Marmalade".  The retail price on these are $4.50.

Stop by Nana Bear's on the West Side of the Snyder Square or give me a call at 325*436*0211

Happy Friday Morning from beautiful downtown Snyder Texas ~ the skys are overcast with slight humidity but the temperature is in the low 70's.  We had a fantastic walk this morning.

I received an e-mail from Clothworks this morning and the new line "Gypsy" has been picked up for delivery next week!  Here is the link to the website http://www.clothworks.com/collection.asp?ID=358 so you can see this beautiful line with great paisley's, small florals and stripes in teal and gray. 

I have been cutting Halloween fat quarters in preparation of the next Crazy Girls Quilt Too Retreat at the end of the month.  Today I will cut Christmas fat quarters ~ I have lots of fun activities planned for this retreat at the Windmill Ranch Preserve.  http://www.thewindmillranchpreserve.com/

I am hoping to add another retreat this winter, possibly mid February.  If you are interested please contact me at Nana Bear's Notions ~ 325*436*0211.  The Ranch can sleep 16 comfortably with a few sharing beds. 

Have a Fantastic Weekend ~ Wreck "EM Tech (against West Virginia eek!)
