Ivy's Summer News

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all are having a great summer…the sunny weather has certainly been with us this summer. Hope with the heat and sun you’ve made time to quilt…whether it be for you or you’re getting a headstart on your holiday gifts.

I’d like to bring you up to date on some new arrivals at Ivy….

• We’ve gotten NEW, FUN buttons in! We’ve all had fun making the new bags or jackets that are out there…now we’ve got the buttons to give them just a little more pizzazz! We have a great assortment of colors AND sizes….

• Just in – Thermal Batting along with a great pattern to make one of those great wine bags for a summer picnic or a gift to take when visiting family and friends. It’s great and easy to sew…stop to see the sample we’ve got…you’ll be sure to give it a try!

• I found this great little pattern to make ‘buckets’ out of canvas and clothesline. You purchase the pattern and inside you’ll find 3 great labels to iron on the buckets. These buckets make great storage in a baby’s room, a classroom or better yet, YOUR QUILT ROOM! Come in a look at our sample …you can make all three in a very short time for a great gift.

• Something new at Ivy, “HEAT PRESS BATTING”…what is this? 1-1/2” wide fusible tape…instead of zig-zag stitching your pieces of batting together this is the product to use!

• This past week we received lots of new novelty fabrics – fruits, vegetables and ANT FABRIC – many of you have asked for it…it’s back! A great assortment of new wide backs arrived too…if you’re finishing up a quilt stop in to see what is new for your back.

• Don’t forget our holiday and halloween fabrics are HERE! We’re over-flowing with kits for the holiday season…stop in SOON while the selection is still good!

If you haven’t been in the shop lately…Pat is BACK! BOY have we missed her! She is back with all sorts of energy and we’re loving it! She’s started a new project using the Tumbler Block. Stop in to see her latest sample in Black and White using the tumbler block. It’s really quite stunning. We got so excited with her sample ….NOW she’s doing a sample in 30s AND Christmas fabrics. The samples should be in the shop this week. Guess what? She’s making up kits to go with this great project!! Don’t we love her? Stop in to see her samples and pick up a kit soon…they’re quick and easy!
