I finally unpacked this. We were in Montana right before Christmas and we had to get a repair done on our truck. Imagine how lucky I felt when I looked up and seen there was a quilt store right next door to the repair shop. I got the two cuts and the on in the top middle is a FQ. I had a really nice time in the small shop, the owners were great.

Had it been us at the repair shop...across the street would have been a filthy greasy porn shop and next door would have been a dance club :cry: :(

Do you know the line for the candy cane fabric? Or manufacturer? I'm trying to gather up some Christmas candy type stuff for a future table runner, that would be perfect!!!!

Good thing the truck repairs did not set you back so much that you could not afford fabric too!! :lol:

I love, love, love the candy fabric too!! You have just GOT to tell us more about it--who made it, what line it is from---anything!! Drop us a hint, throw us a crumb!

Here is what it says on the edges:
The Joys of Christmas
Screen Print D#7633
www.robertkaufman.com
Peggy Jo Ackley for Robert Kaufman

If you can not get it from there here is the shop that I got it from:
www.mountainviewquiltshoppe.com
and she told me you can also go to
www.quiltshops.com and find them.

They have a deal too where for every so much fabric you buy you earn free fabric and fat quarters in their system count as a whole yard I think is what she said. Good luck finding what you need.

Been broke down in those kinds of places before too! Luckily we were in Billings, MT that day which is a really nice town.

I am not sure yet, at first I wanted to make stockings with them, the candy being the sock part and using the stripes for the top, but now I am thinking about doing an applique quilt top.

Nice.

barnbum 01-21-2009 06:35 PM

That's going to make something very pretty!

sewnsewer2 01-21-2009 06:37 PM

mommaB 01-21-2009 07:48 PM

Dare I say It?? That fabric looks yummy! Do you have a plan for it? My luck is, to break down where they never even heard of quilts. LoL! Clever of you to have monkeyed around with that car so you could stop. Ha ha ha ....

It was so cold up there that day, and snowing to beat 90. Our alternator went out on our big rig and the truck would not hold a charge. Then the refrigeration unit we were pulling, the fuel froze up, so we were there for a few hours. What is so funny, I was actually looking for some cold medication, I had not noticed when we pulled into the shop that there was a small strip mall, but did not know it had a quilt shop. So I walked over there initially to look for a store that would sell me something for my cold. I was VERY surprised to see the quilt shop. I was in there so long my husband called me to ask me if I was OK. Boy was I !!!

The yardage I ordered on the 21st arrived today!!! I like it even better in person :D :D Thanks again for the info!!!!

Mary

c2cd2008 01-24-2009 06:13 PM

Mary, I am so excited for you. Yes it does look even better in person that in photos, and it feels so good too!!!!
I am glad you were able to get it. That reminds me I need to email the ladies from that shop, they are awesome people. I really enjoyed getting to meet them and to visit with them.

Montana has the greatest little quilt shops!! So glad that you found one of them.
