From my friend Jordan at Summit St Shop!
These cute little boxes are great for so many things.
AND she has added fun and quilty tee shirts to her shop offerings.
One of my favorite hash tags is #fabricfloozy, cuz if you know - YOU KNOW!
Oh, my gosh! So much fun!
Summit St Boxes are a cute and clever way to store and organize all sorts of items. They hold 6-1/2in quilt squares perfectly!
I've been using them to store my kitted up block parts - Here I'm showing the pieces for the the blue star blocks in one, and the reds in another.
Be watching for my Parade Day PDF quilt pattern to release in MAY! I shared the quilt finish in THIS POST.
The boxes are also great for holding quilting, sewing, knitting, and scrapbooking supplies. Snacks, make up, toiletries, jewelry, and trinkets too.
Put some goodies inside and give as a gift! Pack up and take to a retreat! Boxes feature nice smooth edges and a super cute design on the lid.
Summit St Shop is in Webberville, Michigan! Are you within driving distance?
They spent a year and a half renovating a historic church building into a storefront open to the public..
Summit St Shop carries quilting fabric, of course - but also decor, gifts and more!
And yes, you can order online and there is free shipping on orders over $75.00 within the USA.
Jordan writes about the new tee:
"Tee Shirts come in sizes XS - 4X
Made here by me with my design "Fabric Floozy"
Bella Canva Unisex Heather Peach
Runs true to size and preshrunk"
I wore mine the other day and it was sized perfectly and so super soft. It's my new favorite.

We'll draw for our winner next Wednesday, April 16th! Good Luck, everyone!
Yesterday presented an adventure we did NOT have on our bingo cards.
My screenshot of a live video chat with Hubster Dave telling me that two goats had wandered into our yard apparently lost.
"Run like someone's left the gate open!!"
Only they were just moving in and being all friendly like they'd known us all of their lives.
Hi! What's your name?
Collars? But no tags?
Evidently someone's cherished pet goats.
We were unsure what to do!
I was at the retreat so I suggested he put them in the dog yard and then take a drive up and down the road to check with neighbors to see if they knew who they might belong to.
In the meantime I hit social media trying to get the word out in my community that two goats were on the lam and would they please call us so they could come get them.
No replies.
Then it was suggested that I contact Ashley at Rugby Creek Animal Rescue to see if they would take them on.
Her response was an immediate YES and said she would be driving up as soon as she finished feeding the animals they already have.

And there they go!
I'll be checking in with Ashley to see if their owners are found.
Good luck, goat babies!
In evening hand stitching news -
(Yes, those are my toes! LOL!)
This section is complete and I settled in to add it to the mothership.
One hexie side at a time gets the job done-
It took about 4 evenings worth of stitching to add the section.
And here we are so far. (With no toes)
I'm back to making more motifs. I need more of the big ones that are surrounded by the aqua, and the more narrow neutral surrounded ones that fit in between.
I'll need to complete a whole lot of motif stitching before I can make the next diagonal row.
I'm heading to Idaho at the end of the month to visit my mom and family and take her red hexie quilt back to her, so I'll have some good hexie stitching time ahead.
Today - The Quilt District gals are on their way from the Atlanta area and beyond. I'm looking forward to their arrival somewhere around 4pm.
There are 12 beds to make, and things to finish sprucing up including towel baskets and all the other needful things that happen on retreat day.
What's up for your Wednesday?
Quiltville Quote of the Day -
You are a work in progress!
Never stop learning, never stop exploring the possibilities, never stop growing!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks -

What a fun post. Wishing everyone luck in the giveaway! With me not joining in your chances of winning just got better! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the owners think to check with animal rescue! Please keep us updated. The hexie project looks incredibly complex. It's looking beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, Thanks for the up close pic of you stitching together your hexie sections. That really solidifies that I am now joining mine correctly. I now know that I was resistant to folding the papers inside the hexies in order to get the next seam lined up. I've given up that fight with myself and now am enjoying getting those hexies lined up perfectly to be stitched together. I really like using 2 sets of magnets to hold the pieces together. This way I can hold it gently with my left hand and hold the needle gently in my right as I stitch. I found if I gripped the pieces hard to hold them together perfectly, I wound up gripping the needle hard too and bent it. I wound up with 3 curved size 11 needles before I fixed that issue. Thanks for your help and inspiration on making a hexie quilt.
ReplyDeleteI was actually working on my 2.5 inch heroes while reading your blog. I work on them to take a break from quilting. Also enjoy your blogs.
ReplyDeleteMichigan is having their 2nd state-wide shop hop this summer. I'm hoping to get over to Summit Street Shop. I looked & it's about 120 miles.
ReplyDeleteMy last boss raised goats! Who knew they have competitions just like dog shows!
What a Wednesday! Did my first shift at local sew- for-service workshop. Completed a quilt back, made a ton of binding from smaller fabrics. What fun and such a nice group to work with. Me? I'm goin back! CG
ReplyDeleteThis Hexie pattern is gorgeous! Is there a planned recipient for this one already? Sweet goats. Hope the owners are found soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I hope those goats get back home! The gift a way goodies are too cute... and look super fun! Good luck to everyone! Just making it through is the name of the game!! Happy quilting! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, the goat story didn't go the way I thought it would - I figured Bonnie would now have goats on the mountain top as well! Pet lawn mowers....lol
