Wool Retreat, Aug 19, 20, & 21

I am so excited about my new pattern called "Pumpkin Patch"!!!  This is the project that we are going to be working on at our Wool Retreat on August 19, 20, & 21st at Carter Caves State Park in Olive Hill, Kentucky.  The cost for the Retreat will be $190.  And that will cover the cost of the entire kit that includes the cotton, wool, embellishements, binding, and patterns to complete this quilt!  Food and lodging are not included.  If you are interested in joining us for the weekend, please call the Shop to sign up!

Another busy day at the Shop!  We are getting things packed up and ready to go to the AQS Show in Grand Rapids!  Me and Tom are excited!  We love to go to the shows and talk with all of the quilters.  It is so much fun! 
We just got the patterns and the kits cut up for this cute Fall wall hanging!  Its called Harvest Blessings!!! Tom will have them available our website www.calicopatch.net

I used Valdani 12 wt perle cotton to hand stitch the lettering on.  And I used Lite Steam a Seam 2 on the appliques.  Then I stitched them down with matching threads and a double blanket stitch.  But I did something a little different on the inside of the pumpkin.....I decided to use green thread and a couple of decorative stitches on it!  Our machines have so many fun stitches that we never use!  And I thought this would be a great way to get to use them!! 

So....what do you all think????
