This is going to be another exciting year for the shop as we find ourselves steeped in American Traditions, but we are committed to the Primitive and Vintage style we do best.   You will still find that we can be a little contemporary as a New Country Style emerges where old and new find a very timeless, satisfying and comforting place together, a place we call home.   This year I will be putting emphasis on the farmhouse style.

  With our new schoolroom ready to go you will find us offering many new and traditional classes.   Quilting, finishing, home decorating such as duvet covers, counted cross- stitch on linen, punch needle, and wool appliqué classes and opening sewing days are just some of the things we will offer.  I hope you will join us for some great times.

FYI: My new Worn & Loved fabric line will be out early this spring, I am calling it "SIMPLER TYMES". I think you will fall in love with the 47 new fabric prints in warm brown, slate blue, aged red, tan, and army green color palette.
