Thanks so much to everyone who braved the weather and came out on Friday & Saturday to help us celebrate our new Bernina/quilt shop. We still have tons of work to do but are looking forward to our Grand Opening on April 25-27 in conjuction with the North Central KS Shop Hop. We'll have fabric on sale, lots more kits, oodles of home decor items, more antiques and giveaways all weekend - including a 2 night stay at the KT Retreat for 2014! You won't want to miss it! Watch for our ad in the Kansas Country Register!
For the next giveaway to end April 10th, we have a new patten for spring, Tulip Trellis. It's a great way to use up little scraps to make a big statement. Comment here for a chance to win.
Store Hours
Our regular store hours will be Tues/Thurs/Friday - 10-6. Wed - 10-7. Sat. 10-3. Come on up to shop on Wednesday evening and have chicken at Westside Ventures with Gabe & Laurie. Please call Robert if you'll be coming thru on a Monday (he's usually there trying to catch up!) or need to leave/pick up a machine for service later in the evening any day. His cell # is 785-488-6214.On the Road Again
Just returned home last night from Clinton, OK where I spent the day with a delightful bunch of ladies for a Skipping Stones workshop and finished with their guild program. I antiqued my way home thru OK yesterday - a much needed mental health day. Gleaned many ideas for store displays and figured out the layout of a new quilt while driving in the car. Sometimes it's good to have the time for your brain to just wander.

I think in all my business with travels/store opening I missed the latest giveaway of a ruler necklace.

Congrats on your new store! If I still lived in Kansas I would be there for sure. Love the new pattern.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your store opening! I wish I lived close enough to drop in. The tulip trellis pattern is really pretty. Thanks for a chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteOne of these years after DH retires, I hope we can drive across the country at a leisurely pace, and it would be great fun to chart a quilt shop hop across America! Since we've never been to Kansas it would be a must to include your new shop! Thanks for a chance to win this lovely pattern.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your store opening. I hope one day I will be able to visit your shop. Thanks for the chance to win your pretty pattern.
ReplyDeleteLynne,
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting and talking with you at the Western Oklahoma Quilt Guild in Clinton, OK last Monday. I love your fabric and designs, they and you are so inspiring. My husband and I are taking a trip this summer to South Dakota and Wyoming and on our way through Kansas we are going to make a slight side trip to Bennington and see your shop and hopefully meet you again.

ReplyDeleteNow how do I convince DH we NEED to drive to Kansas so I can see your lovely new shop ??? Hmmm.....
ReplyDeleteLynne--congratulations!!! I truly wish I could have made the drive up there!! :) Have a blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteLoved being in your store Friday morning. I just wish I'd bought more fabric! Also, do you sell those cotton ball wreaths? I meant to ask but got side tracked looking at all the treasures. I've talked about your store so much at my local quilt shop, that I bet I'll have some company with me at the grand opening. It was an awesome day for Leslie and I. It was wonderful meeting you, Lois and Robert!

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice setting...I've never seen lattice done this way before.
ReplyDeleteFYI Had your new book, "Loose Change", laying on the end table yesterday. My DH looked through it and stated that he really liked all your projects which he never says. He also wanted to know when I was starting one of the projects!! Ha!!!
ReplyDeleteI told him that we must make a trip to your new shop!!! Congrats and Good Luck on your new shop!!! Also love Berninas!!
One other thing ... your table runner pattern in the Spring "Primitive Quilts and Projects" magazine looks fun!!!
I recently enjoyed your program you presented in Grand Island, NE at my quilt guild & can't wait to come visit your new store.
ReplyDeleteI'm very new at quilting and I'm still kinda in a fog about it all. Overwhelmed indeed! I'm a former Iowan who heard 'Go west, young woman' and now live in So Cal. Congrats on your new shop and I LOVE earthy fabric! ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you on the new shop and your new book! I am new to quilting and just love your fabrics and patterns. The Tulip quilt is adorable! Forgive me, but before my computer put it in focus, it reminded me of the old Pac-man game... I can now see the details and it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new store..I love sewing on my Bernina but, sadly, you are just a little too far away for me to pop in (from way down here in New Zealand) I've just read the Designer Tidbit for Fat Quarter Shop and I have some trouble using pastels..just love the colours in your Tulip Quilt..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all your "new" achievements of shop, book, and that wonderful Tulip quilt.
