Hey Colorado....

and Wyoming and Nebraska and anyone who will be remotely close to the Loveland/Fort Collins area this weekend.  We are packing up fabric, patterns, kits, charms, prints and a whole lot of other things to take to a quilt show this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  The Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival is being held August 19-21 at The Ranch (if you live here, I'm sure you know where that is).  We are having a booth, but there will be workshops, displays and door prizes the entire weekend.  For more information, visit the festival's website here.

 

We just got finished cutting and packing up our Countdown To Christmas fabric to take along when the UPS man brought us this:

 

Yep, Hometown yardage arrived today.  So the rest of the day will be spent cutting fat quarters and 1 yard and 1/2 yard cuts from Hometown to take to the show. 

We also have a sneak peek of our Label Crew project for September.  I know it is about 98 degrees out today, but it is never too early for Christmas.   The September kit will feature a Christmas Mug Rug:

Hope to see you this weekend!

I'm watching the blog and just checked the Etsy site and still no House Pin Cushion pattern. Am I missing it, or is it still not available?

I love, love, love the September Label Crew kit. So very clever. I can't wait to get some of those made up. Just last week I made up a set of mug mats using last year's Label Crew pattern. They were a big hit.

How cute are those "Mug Rugs!!!" Just too cute!!! What great teacher gifts, Office workers, friends and family, you get the idea!! Just to even have a few on hand for unexpected gift needs! I love them!
My son, his wife and my granddaughter live in Littleton, CO and if I time my visit right, next year, we can all go to that area for a few days and of course visit the Quilt Festival. I'd LOVE the chance to meet you all.
Have a grand time.
