Counting down

It is a beautiful rainy day here today, perfect to be indoors and perfect for sewing. Well really, every day is perfect for sewing so hope that wherever you are you find a little time in your day for some sewing too.
We had a great long weekend in the shop and enjoyed catching up with lots of customers who had included a trip to Threadbear in their plans for the 3 day weekend.
Caitlin came in to visit us on the weekend with her Mum and her Mother in Law..and look what she brought with her..

Thank you Caitlin for sharing this gorgeous quilt...it is such a pretty quilt, so many beautiful fabrics in this quilt, gorgeous colours, and what a great pattern for using some favorite fabrics that you would like to feature in larger pieces.

We also had a visit from Tricia with some show and tell.  Wow, Tricia is very speedy because it was only a week ago that she was in Threadbear to choose this lovely collection of pretty fabrics and now it is a finished quilt top, ready to go off to the quilter.  Tricia has made this quilt as a gift for her Granddaughter, and we are sure she is going to love it.

See this empty chair...well we are counting down in days, minutes and seconds because next week Sammy will back at work...we are so excited, we have all missed him so much and can't wait for him to be back, greeting customers, and keeping us all company..lets hope he is happy to come back to work after his time at the luxury resort. It is probably a good time to mention how much we have missed Corliss and Kurt too and how lovely it will be to have them back home at Threadbear.
