Finally, I was able to visit A Scarlet Thread in McDonough, Georgia! Every time I drive through Atlanta I see the billboard about this wonderful shop...and never has it been a time when I could stop. Last year at QuiltFest shop owners Ken & Karen Taylor had a lovely booth that inspired me even more to visit...yet two more trips passed by with no luck! So, finally on the way to the IQA show in Cincinnati I was able to stop...with sidekick Cherry-Cherry! A Scarlet Thread is only 2 miles from I-75 exit 221 near Atlanta Loaded with fabric of all kinds and decorated with great imagination, it's easy to see why this large shop will be featured in the Spring/Summer 2012 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine! Can't miss this display! Right inside the front door we saw that quilts were definitely under construction here! We had a very friendly greeting from Gail to be sure we knew where to find all the various fabrics, machines, and patterns. Instant selection for 5-Yard Quilts I bet plenty of people don't get any farther that the beautiful display of coordinated packets for the popular 5-Yard Quilts! What instant gratification. Yet we moved on, as our time was limited...especially for such an expanse of fabric! These are from Cleo's Designs....gorgeous! Cherry-cherry can't miss a giant flower, and these beauties were hung back-to-back with two more designs. Because I forgot to write down the pattern names, I went to the shop's website and discovered a huge inventory! The flower patterns are by Cleo's Designs. Bolts, and fat quarters and samples everywhere! A Scarlet Thread has fabric for ever sewist & quilter, including Minkee, extra-wide backing, and reproduction fabrics. I was delighted to find a whole wall of polka dots! Cue the accordion! Faithful readers know that at this point I became absorbed in looking at fabric and not thinking about my camera anymore! So I missed getting pics of the adorable huge flower-shaped floor pillow and the to-die-for white lighting fixture that resembles a snowflake or Sputnik (sharp eyed shopper C.C. says it is from IKEA!). There's also a very generous sized class space with a kitchen counter...who wouldn't want to hole up here for a day? But we only had an hour, and a quickly spent one at that! After a keep-it-moving tour of the entire place, we came back around to the display by the door. Pick a pattern, pick a pack...make a quilt! Our last bit of time was spent examining the batik section and making a few purchases...the IQA show we were headed to would require some of our resources! I hope to make a return trip this wonderful shop, possibly with more friends. Karen says an advanced notice for a group of 5 or more will allow them to plan some special treats! A Scarlet Thread is open every day except Sunday.

This past week went by so quickly and I could have used a few more hours in the days, but I got done what had to be done. Thursday night I loaded my dad's quilt on the frame. I got to about the last foot and the tension was a bit off. I pulled it out, but it was after 10:30 and I was just too tired to go on. Friday I left at noon and Mikaela and I went to Sioux Falls to meet up with my college roommate Nichole. We spent the weekend with her and her family. On Sat. morning bright and early we went to the Quilts and Vines Outdoor quilt show. It was another awesome show and I took lots of pictures, but haven't uploaded them. This is a picture of the big barn where it is held. We also did some shopping and I found dresses for both Mikaela and I for the wedding. Sunday Mikaela and I went to Mitchell where we met up with a family gathering of my mom's aunts and cousins. We had lunch and then headed home. Unfortunately I had a paper due that night, so had to work on it instead of quilt. My dad and Ann came for a visit and I had to quick throw a quilt over the frame so they wouldn't see the quilt on it. My dad was sure nosy though, asking way more questions about that quilt and what I was working on, then ever before! I got the paper done and got a 100%, not bad for 2 hours work! Monday night I finished ripping out the quilting during my live session class and did some hand work. Sure makes the time go faster. After class I finished the quilting and squared up the quilt. Here's a close up of the quilting. The colors are more true in the picture above. I had planned to have the binding done to take along with me to work on this weekend, but when I ran out of time, I instead decided I didn't have the right color thread. The middle one is my go to favorite purple Aurifil thread, the one on the right I also had, but neither of these matched. So when I was at Always Your Design in Dell Rapids (one of my favorite shops to stop at, since my mom taught the owner Deb in high school) and picked up the Aurifil thread on the left. It matches perfectly! I'm so excited to have it now. Last night I put the binding on and this morning before work I started sewing the binding down by hand. I hope to work on it tonight and be able to enter it in the quilt show at the fair tomorrow. We'll see if that happens! I also have my friendship quilt I'm working on binding on to put in the fair. Mikaela had a good time and was a real trooper at the quilt show. She loved playing on this bridge and in the dirt, although she wasn't a real fan of the chickens. This is one of my favorites from the weekend. She's so curious and checking everything out.

For those who have multiple colors of bags, a white background (rather than my standard gold as shown on my site's other two Crown Royal quilt listings) really makes the colors of the bags "pop"! Also, YOU can design the layout of this quilt (as the buyers did of the one shown). I will forward several options if you are uncertain, at which time you can then choose the preferred layout. For purple, black, and green bags, there is no additional fee. However, as I have not been able to find fabric that matches the other colors of bags, there is an additional fee of $5 per bag to make the entire "friendship star" with coordinating star points. For each bag sent that is NOT purple, black, or green, please select the number of "special" bags along with the size of quilt you wish. If you have more than 10 specialty bags, please send a message prior to ordering and I can walk you through this. The back of the quilt will be a white on white design unless you prefer a different color. Please note that the "quilting" will be in the same color as the backing. Please note that I will NOT use velvet bags. Should you have any questions, please send a message. Thank you for looking at my site where you can see other Crown Royal quilts and pillows, plus other decor.

This special gift is perfect for a "Celebration of Life" gathering to share with your family, friends, and even gift to yourself in remembrance of your loved one! While I offer several style of Memory Pillows, THIS style is the second most favorited because I am able to use many scraps from leftover Memory Bears or Memorial Gifts. Send anywhere from 2-5 items! Your 17" Memory Pillow is washable, however; I recommend not washing to keep the scent and integrity in its best format! :) These are made to order so once I see your order come through, I will send you my shipping address as well as shipping instructions! All unused material will be recycled unless specified otherwise by you. I also made Christmas Ornaments with leftover scraps. If you have extra material, this is a great opportunity to use every inch of the material. ✏️ Handwriting Option 🖊 How does this work? My embroidery machine has the capability of taking a picture of the script and mimicking the handwriting to an embroidery file. 📝 Unfortunately, I am not able to take words or letters to rearrange verbiage. The handwriting option is mainly for signatures. (FREE Regular Embroidery on chest + feet comes with this option as well!) IMPORTANT: Please also note that this option is only good for 1 signature. If you'd multiple handwriting signatures, you will need to purchase those at an additional price of $10/ea. Voicebox: I am able to record your loved ones voice on a voicebox that records up to 60 seconds. I will have you send me the audio for this. Please note that I cannot tamper/modify any recordings you send me; they need to be sent ready to go! DELUXE PACKAGE Everything mentioned above is included in this package! ENJOY!! Please take comfort in knowing that your Memory Pillow is my Top Priority from start to finish. Handmade in a Smoke Free Home. Please message me with any questions! :) Looking forward to working with you soon!

The Redondo, our 20" dome, is our largest barn light and really shines in providing ample light when installed on garages, barns, or among the roof peaks of your estate! Our largest industrial barn house lighting fixture has a big presence and can make an even bigger statement when added to your story. This sizable favorite really shines in providing ample light when installed at least 15 feet off the ground. The Redondo is a large barn light with sturdy construction that comes standard with a 20" dome and connects to your choice of a 20" straight arm, a 16" gooseneck, a 23" gooseneck, or an upward-sloping gooseneck. Simply choose your arm length and style, then order, install, and feel at home under Steel Lighting. When you're crafting a space to bring your story to light, this large barn light fixture can stand out on its own, or confidently pull everything together in style. As with every light we craft, The Redondo is handmade from heavy duty steel, then powder coated for the high quality, long lasting finish we all know and love. Creating a space full of quality and character is easy with help from The Redondo, which does best when used outdoors, and looks great on large exterior walls (like on a garage or oversized building), on barn sides, or perched high among the roof peaks and tall eves of your estate. Want to install it indoors? Be our very bold guest! Our lights are all approved for indoor and outdoor use, no matter how big or how small. SHIPPING If you are ordering to Hawaii or Alaska, you'll need to add (1) of our Hawaii & Alaska Shipping Fees for every (1) light that's in your order.
