Saints ALIVE

Sew Excited and Thanks to the customer who gave me the heads up on Terrie Mangat new line from Free Spirit, Los Sanctos. I love Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric and there are Saints!.

Here is Free Spirits blurb on the fabric:

Loaded with Icons, the Los Sanctos line is a must for Our Lady of Guadalupe fans, as well as anyone who loves those other popular New Mexico Saints: St. Anthony(helps you find things), ST. Theresa the little flower, Saint Raphael, Saint Michael, St. Joseph, Santo Nino and a smaller version of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Included in the line are 5 color ways of a larger more ethnic looking Our Lady of Guadalupe surrounded by campy flowers, 6 bright colors with little gold crosses, and a zippy zig zag that can be cut across the zigs or along the zags. Put it together to create energizing shrine quilts, special intention pillows, aprons, and Saint protected hand and shopping bags.

Is it the weekend yet 'cause I gotta sew some of this stuff up NOW!

Tampa Sewing Expo

 

What a week this was! Tampa was freezing, no joke, below 32º, not pleasant, especially for all the locals. The whole family went on this trip, which may never happen again. We had a big birthday to celebrate. The kids & DH visited the sites, while Oma, my other mother & I worked the booth ( I did get to run off to Busch Gardens with my kids one day).

One of our very dedicated customers brought us a Show & Tell. On Friday she purchased some great batiks & the Whimsey Bag pattern from Lazy Girls, on Saturday she had her bag finished! Thanks!

Visit us this week in Atlanta. We will have TWO booths, our main booth (930) with all the Melly & Me, Kokka, etc and a SALE booth (136) with over 400 bolts of our beautiful older fabric, 2 cutting tables. Be patient, I hope both booths are super busy so we can make room for new, fun fabrics. Amy Schimler has a new line I can't order till I make some space.
