Introducing, The Flannel & Panel Room...

The Nova Scotia Fibre Arts Festival starts on Tuesday!  Mrs Pugsley's Emporium Inc will be open at 10 am.

In order to give more room to move around in the main room, I decided to locate the flannels and panels to the back room!  

Introducing the Panel & Flannel Room...

Some panels are pinned to the wall with spares on the racks.  The flannels are in the cart.  On the right, just out of the picture, is where the Paper Pieces are hanging in an semi-organized state!  

More than hexies, the company, Paper Pieces, makes stars, diamonds and curved pieces, to name a few.  There are also different sizes of hexies now available.  Drop into the panel/Flannel room to have a browse.

More blogging to come soon! Mrs P's is also tweeting under @MrsPsAmherst 

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.

Teddy's progress...Great Hexies!...

        Teddy is still knee deep in making hexies! 

Teddy managed to finish one of the hexagon centres and he wanted to see what more of the project would look like...

Here are the colours picked for the Dresden plate blades- 19 different colours...

Then there is a background square to pick a colour for....

He's trying to decide between the soft pond or soft primrose...

All fabric is from the  Printemps line by 3 Sisters for Moda & available at Mrs P's!

He will keep you updated but he whispered that progress may be slowed as the shop needs to be tidied up for a couple of special vistors next Sat- March 8th.
