I didn't realize that I had not posted all year.  Boy, am I  falling behind.  But  the picture shows part of the reason.  The ladies from Loose Threads Quilters helped piece 16 tops that Regenia and I then quilted and finished in order to deliver them to these wonderful kids and new friends in Honduras.  It doesn't get much better than sharing your gifts and talents with others, selflessly!

This is a t-shirt quilt made for a man that works for the MS Highway Patrol.  This is one of my favorite t-shirt quilts of the year!

tie quilt

I 've  just finished  piecing this neck tie  quilt.    Although it can be tricky sewing with ties and combining various fabrics it sure is worth the challenge when this is  the end result. Now all I have to do is get it on the machine, quilt it, bind it and deliver it to my customer.

child's t-shirt quilt

This is a fun t-shirt quilt!  My customer wanted me to incorporate the baby blanket so it is a center panel with all the other shirts surrounding it.  Every t-shirt quilt is a unique cotton treasure that can be used and enjoyed for many, many years.

fun chevron

This is a fun way to use a jelly roll.  I have had so many comment on using the purple solid, but it can be so much fun to get out of the box and just try something you are not sure about.  My 15 yr. old is a great encourager about just trying something with no fear...it'll be alright and if not....we'll make something new and that will be alright!! The purple was her idea :)

Here are two fun new patterns at the shop.  The Classmate could be  a fun Saturday project and the  smaller bags can be whipped up in no time at all.  These make great gifts.  

I have so much to be thankful for!! Can you believe two years have passed since I first opened the doors to Cotton Treasures?  In these two years so much has happened...the store has grown beyond my expectations, I have added monogramming/embroidery services, I have developed some amazing friendships, we are now the home of Loose Threads quilters, and I have relocated!! I could go on and on but what I really want to say is "Thank You"!!!  You know who You are....everyone of You that has come through these doors and had an encouraging word to say, bought a spool of thread, left a quilt to be quilted, told me your "story", laughed and cried with me....thank you!!!  I guess the only way I know to say thank you is to have a sale.  So, starting tomorrow September 12 - September 15 all fabric, notions and pre-cuts will be 30% off.  Our new location is 218 E. Main, Senatobia, MS  near the Tobie Cinemas.  Come in see what's new and save!!  I look forward to seeing you soon.  Be sure to "like" us on facebook (I may just have to have another sale when I hit that magic number of "likes"!!!
