Summer's coming back...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. You'd think last week I was getting 3,000 postcards ready to mail and marking down fabrics and getting the store set up for a Sizzling Summer Sale or something!

Speaking of Sizzling Summer, the weatherman says it's supposed to sizzle a bit in the next few days! Hey, guess what? We got some oilcloth in - yes, the real oilcloth. Here are pictures of just two of the prints we have. We're kind of gauging the reception they get and will probably be ordering some more prints in the months to come. Anyway, in case you need to spruce up the picnic table for the end of summer, this might just be the ticket!

And speaking of picnics....the ants are back! Yes, I got two more bolts of the red gingham with black ants this week. I'll have to borrow Jan's Picnic Quilt after this summer, so we can show it off again, now that we have the ants back.

And we got some "food" fabric also, to go along with the ants, I guess. We got olives, onions, garlic and peppers to add to our collection. We had been a little light in the vegetable department of our produce section!

Are any of you going to go to the Fair? Don't think I will make it this year. But, guess what? Tracey and Jan both entered some projects in the Fair and Jan got a blue ribbon on her "Sitting Pretty" sample she did for the needleturn class she did for us. And Tracey got two red ribbons - one for her Wildberry Vines class she took and the other for this little, tiny, mini paper-pieced star batik quilt. Our award winning staff! I'll be blogging pictures as soon as I get them. And I told them we need to have an award winning display of their work in the shop, too. I am sooooo proud of them! Congratulations!!

Enough for now. Will try not to be so long between posts. I'll put up some more fabric pictures tomorrow - ok? Enjoy the sunshine tomorrow!!
