For those of you that weren’t able to join in the shop hop,
there’s some great stuff to tell you about Ivy Thimble!

We have SOME of our Christmas fabrics out (MORE is coming) so you can start your holiday projects!

This year they seem even better than ever!

Many of the girls at Ivy are busy at home making samples.

I know that sounds scarey since it’s mid-June, but we all know if we start early, we get the BEST selection of fabrics.

We received a beautiful selection of fall fabrics –
accented with a hint of gold….we’re making new fall tablerunners with them…we’ve got sunflowers, pumpkins, mums, spiders and a beautiful line of various colors of leaves for blenders too! WOW!

Nancy Murty’s latest fabric line is here, SPECIAL DELIVERY! It’s so very sweet, just right for a new ‘little’ one in your life.

New flannels have arrived!

Again I know it’s early for cold weather – oh my…we’re all enjoying the SUMMER…but if you’re itching to do one of those rag quilts or jackets…come in now for a great selection!!

Any of you that are members of our QFL Team … we were scheduled to meet THIS Thursday, June 17 for our first charity event. This is being POSTPONED due to so many of us are finding we have conflicts. We WILL be re-scheduling…’stay tuned’. If you would still like to drop off pillowcases in case you can’t make the re-scheduled time feel free. We’re collecting!
* * * * * *
Just a note – anyone that has been enjoying our 30s Club that meets once a month they will not be meeting in the summer. Not to worry we have a great project planned for the fall. Joyce is busy working on the sample and you will see it SOON in the shop!

*REMINDER*
Ivy Thimble will be CLOSED Saturday July 3 for the holiday weekend!!!

We look forward to seeing you SOON at Ivy!!
