CNY Shop Hop Thank YOU!

I want to send a HUGE thank you to all of you that participated in this past weekend’s Central New York Shop Hop. It was a WONDERFUL success. Over 175 quilters FINISHED the hop – which is a RECORD! This hop is particularly long and we are sooo VERY proud of ALL of you that took part. It was great fun listening to your stories about our various movie themes and watching you pick out that special fabric to finish a project you are working on or like so many of us, add to our ever growing stash…don’t you love it?

Thank you to all of you for participation.

We awarded one Grand Prize, Ten Gift Baskets to those that finished all ten and

16 more gifts to those that finished 5 or more!

We will be posting the winners shortly.


Just a few little tidbits to share with you…as always Ivy has new fabrics arriving daily – MODA’s “Evening Mist” and “Essence” line arrived this week. “Evening Mist” is just plain pretty and soft … cozy is another nice word. “Essence” is done in the fall colors with charm packs, layer cakes AND patterns to help you create a new quilt. New novelties arrived – just perfect for those I Spy quilts…I don’t know how they keep coming up with new novelties but they do and we have them! LOTS of sheep and cows, food and fruit GALORE! We still have a nice selection of holiday fabrics but they’re going fast…if you’ve started planning those holiday gifts or tablerunners stop in the shop today to design your next holiday project.

While you’re in the shop check our samples in the classroom for upcoming classes. We have some fun projects that would be beautiful gifts – flannel quilt, tree skirt, not to mention Pat has been busy making up all sorts of kits!

Last Chance!!!
