Updates! And more updates....

Teddy wanted me to update his progress on the Hexies and Dresden plate ring quilt ...

It doesn't look like much, but the parts are all cut out and corralled together.  There are4 of everything in different stages but that means there are still 5 to do and also to finish the 4 partially assembled blocks.

In making the hexagon centres for the Dresden blades, it's easier to do one centre at a time, as there are so many colours or patterns chosen for this one. 

Another update,

Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc is holding a 'drop in an sew day' next Wed, April 9th.  So far, I have about 3 tables to set up. If you want to ensure you have a table to work on( I only have about 10 spots) let me know and I'll make sure to save you a' seat.'  If you just want to drop in and check it out on that day, (fly, by the seat of your pants, so to speak) you are most welcome to.  There's no charge and it is for a bit of fun.  

Bring your machine and project- and enjoy the day !  There's no right or wrong time.  We are open from 10 am to 4 pm.  

And another update....

Easter  is approaching and in looking at the calendar,  Good Friday falls on April 18th.  Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc will be closed on Good Friday and not reopening until the following Wed, April 23rd at 

10 AM. 

And...speaking of Easter....check out some great colours and patterns in Hoffman Batiks currently in stock.

An Easter egg shaped mug rug in progress! 

Man of the House ? ...

Teddy wanted to make sure that you know, he's still working on his hexie centres...I'm the one not keeping up with making the Dresden 'ring' to put the honeycomb centres on.  He's up to 2 centres done with a 3rd almost finished.  The 4th centre is started.  Although the quilt pattern calls for 9 blocks- the original plan was to make one block but Teddy likes making the hexies, so we'll see if he can make nine...

Speaking of plans, my Dad helped put 'shelves' up tonight to hold Mrs P's thread.  (I'll post more on that later.)  Fathers are pretty special people and this arrived in at Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc...

                                 Man of the House by Dan Morris for RJR Fabric. 

What words would describe your Dad?  I like the words: Kind, Patient & Fair.  

Have a great day.

  

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.
