Awesome Quilt!...

It's here! The newest edition of Quilter's Connection!

And why is Mrs P's so excited?...

This marvellous quilt (in the background) ... 'Clare & Argyle' is one of the patterns featured!  Created (that means designed, physically made, pattern written, quilted, bound, magazine article written, photos taken and more) by Karen Neary; it on display at Mrs P's in Amherst until this Saturday!  

The fabric used in the quilt is Indah Dyed Solids by Hoffman and Mrs P's has a few colours in stock...




Kudos, Karen!  It is a beautiful quilt with bold and vibrant quilting!  I think it is a pattern that is very 'now' and yet will still be a classic in years to come! 

Remember, if you get the chance, please drop in and see the quilt and the magazine it is featured in!

Mrs P's also reminds you that we will be closing this Sat, Dec 19th 2015 for our annual Christmas Vacation.  We will re open as usual on January 5th 2016 at 1pm.  Happy Holidays to one and all!  

Never Stop Learning...

Karen Neary's newest creation is her bright and bold ...The Quilt of Learning...

The pattern is available at Mrs P's for $12.95 plus tax and includes the really cute block pillow. The quilt top is made from Stof fabrics.  A metre of off white  for the block centres, a Maple Cake and a Maple Roll for the blocks.   The Maple cakes/rolls are Stof's bright pepper.  Stof Pepper also comes in earth colours and dark colours. 

The Quilt of Learning was Karen's first experience using precuts.  The Maple Cakes are available only in Canada and are 10x10 laser cut squares and the Maple Rolls are 2&1/2 inch width of fabric strips. Both have 40 pieces of fabric with about 20 different colours in the packages.  Mrs P's has some of all the Stof Pepper lines in stock but I expect them to move out quickly and it will take awhile to have more delivered as the wholesaler is waiting for stock to make more Maple Cuts.  

This is a beautiful quilt and Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc is so fortunate to have it on display.  

You may purchase on line or let  us know you want by email and items will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  Orders will not be shipped until Monday.

Please Note:

Mrs P's is re-learning her Pay Pal buttons!  They should work but I'm not sure if the tax button is set properly.  Taxes will be collected on the sales.  I will email when I receive your order...If you do not receive an email from mrspsamherst@gmail.com- I may not have your order and I don't want you to be disappointed. 

Playing for all the Marbles ? ...

Marbles!  Anyone looking for marbles?  I may have lost mine...3rd post in 3 days!  A new record for Mrs P's!  This lovely fabric which is even interesting on the 'wrong' side, is from RJR Fabrics and part of 'Where the Toys Are' by Dan Morris. 

The toys are retro toys and include some stuffed toys...

And some retro or vintage toys... ( some I even remember playing with)...

It's a wonderful 'child's' line but it could also be used in any quilt for a vintage toy collector. Simply put: a charming collection of prints that is just a bit boyish in style.   

There are 17 prints in this line currently available at Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc, including the coordinating border print...

Not to be outdone by Teddy's Hexies, Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc arranged the line of fabric in...

                                                       Hexagons!

                                                    Hexagons!

                                                and more Hexagons!

 Teddy wanted me to show you to see his progress to date!  He's pretty good at those hexies...

He's having a great time! 

Have a great weekend.
