It's been a while since the last post (November!) Lots going on in the store and on the website which have kept me busy. We have a fresh new look online to make browsing + shopping even better for you, and help streamline some of our procedures at the same time. I've almost missed the deadline for posting our Modern Solids Challenge, which we issued last October. We've had 4 colourful placemats returned for voting:

These placemats will  be donated to Meals on Wheels before Easter, but not until you've had a chance to vote for your favourite. Just leave a comment with your choice (1, 2, 3, or 4 from top to bottom). The winner will win a $50 gift card; runner up a $25 gift card.

And by leaving a comment you'll be entered for a chance to win a little bit of modern fun for yourself: (Edited Mar 5: Giveaway is now closed)

(QuiltCon magazine + Denyse Schmidt modern solids mini-charms)

I admire that those four people took time out of their busy Christmas season to create something so cheerful, and for such a good cause. I am going to vote for No. 2; it is not only creative, but shows diversity in form and I like the use of a patterned background in contrast to the starkness of the solids. Well done to all.

They’re all winners and it’s wonderful that they will be gifted to someone in the Meals on Wheels program. If I have to pick one…..it’s #4. Love the updated look of the online shop.

Deck the halls and all that jazz

December 1 is the day where I really seriously start to think about Christmas. It’s not procrastination, just that I don’t really feel the holiday groove until the calendar shows December.
