Take a peep at Celebrating Mary Brown!

After more than 12 months of drafting, drawing, choosing fabrics, cutting and stitching, all at night, after Threadbear's doors were closed, we were thrilled to see Corliss' stunning new quilt, Celebrating Mary Brown .  And what a beauty to behold!

...reason to celebrate ~ available from late February 2016

We are now taking pre-orders for the complete pattern and fabrics to make this very special quilt.  What a great project to start your quilting year with!   Phone or email us to reserve your copy of the complete quilt pattern for Celebrating Mary Brown.  Plus, you can order the 2 background fabrics that Corliss has used and/or the comprehensive Starter Pack and Aurifil Thread Pack.   The finished pattern, background fabrics, and starter pack will be available from late February 2016.

 Sam of course has not been taking any interest in the new fabrics or Corliss' new quilt.  Rather, he found a paper shopping bag infinitely more interesting and spent quite some time investigating before finally emerging with the prize ~ Duck Treats YUMM...!  Have a great weekend everyone.

I know there's something good down here - somewhere
