'Felicity' is coming soon ....

Just a quick blog post to let you that Mrs P's will be closed  this Sat March 7th and reopening Tuesday at its normal time of 1pm to 4pm. 

As most are aware, Karen Neary from town is an amazing  quilt pattern designer, usually working with New York Beauty blocks.  She the artist that created that beautiful purple and orange quilt that graces one of the windows at Mrs P's.  She has also released a brand new book, 'Quilting Beauties In All Shapes and Sizes'.  She has been a true mentor to myself.  She also hates when I get over zealous in my praise of her!  :) 

So without further ado, I'll show what she has created in time for Spring .... Felicity...

...  table runner and placemat pattern!  These are made with fabric that Mrs P's has called Spring Hare by Lewis & Irene.  The pattern can be downloaded through Craftsy or bought from Mrs P's.  I am working on getting the fabric kitted up.

I'll also be posting some 'buttons' so you can order individually or as a kit  off the blog.   It will take a bit of time, but I am working on it!  In the meantime, please feel free to email orders to mrspamherst@gmail.com and we can work out what you are looking for.  

It's just a really sweet runner!  Like Spring, it is such a breath of fresh air!

It snowed again! ...spring-y fabrics...

It's been another day, well half day, of snow here in Amherst, NS, so I thought you would like to see some spring fabric that has arrived!  

Drumroll, please!

Introducing....'Spring Hare' by Lewis & Irene....

Also by Lewis & Irene is the 'Make a Wish' line...

And the Hoffman Challenge Fabric - Mandalay ( hoffmanchallenge.com ) is still available....

If you are interested in any of these fabrics, please e-mail and they can be shipped out to you! I'll be showing more of the Lewis & Irene fabric in another post and you'll be able to see more of the individual fabrics.  

Mrs P's also has notions! I thought I might be able to show some fun things of those too!

So, do you know what this is?! 

Hint...the plyable plastic discs hold something that usually gets all tangled up...and sits one on top of the other or can be separated....

Hmmm,  yes! A Bobbin Holder! 

A Stack'nStore Bobbin Tower by Clover gives a place to store up to 30 bobbins and keeps them neat.  You are also able to see the colours at a glance and, if going to a class or sewing date, take just the disc that you need!  You can also order via e-mail, the Stack'nStore Bobbin Tower to ship to you.  

A Wonderful Day!...

Wow!  Thanks to all who came out today for Karen Neary's book signing of 'Quilting Beauties Come in All Shapes & Sizes'!  It was a fun day!

It's so fabulous to be able to display these art pieces!  Sadly. My pictures do not do any of them justice.   On the other hand, Karen has agreed to have a couple of them on display for next week.  Copies of her book will also be available for $27.00 as well.  

Stunning! 

Mrs P's Fat Quarter swap was okay but a lot forgot to bring a trade item of fabric, so in honour of St Valentine's Day, ❤️ of fabric and the snow storm predicted...The FQ Swap table will be there for a bit next week.

As a quick note, Mrs P's has a new line in by Lewis & Irene...Make a Wish

So soft and springtime looking!  

There are 15 bolts in the line.   Choosing a favourite will be hard!  

To help make room for the new stock arriving, there is a table of fabric being offered from $6.95/m to 9.95/m.  The catch is, you must buy a minimum of 1 metre cut off that bolt to get the price.  Regular price will be charged for lesser cuts.  

I hope you enjoyed your Valentine's Day!
