🌟 Our Pot O' Luck Mini-Mystery is coming September 12—and we’re kicking things off with some seriously fun fabric options!
We’ve put together stunning (6) fat quarter bundles designed to shine with this 18"x34" mystery.
These bundles are totally optional (the mystery is FREE!), but they make fabric picking quick, easy… and oh-so-tempting.
🧵 Take a look several bundles we've curated just for you!

If you are a Featherweight owner, are your thoughts clearer…even inspired? Please tell us what you love about your Featherweight.

Yes, I have an ulterior motive. I just unexpectedly became the owner of an adorable Singer 221. Tell me…will it inspire me? Or is it just another sewing machine? 😉

When Lara Langston feels "inspired" when she is sewing with her trusty Featherweight. Only, with Lara, it's more than quilting creativity... Somehow, when Lara is working with her Featherweight, her thoughts are clearer, and she gains insight to whatever mystery is currently on her mind.

Lara is not the first in her family to have this gift. Nana always called it "getting in the zone."

The Carlisle Salvation Army is accepting donations for their October sale.

Lara Langston is back in Pringle Iowa and ready to get involved in a community event.

We know that many of our customers are some of the most generous quilters in supporting charitable organizations around the world, from pillowcases and backpacks to clothing and quilts.

Will you take a moment and tell us what group(s)/organizations you support?

Lara Langston is back home in Pringle, Iowa. Ever since she moved into Nana's victorian house in this quaint small town, she has made an effort to live the community-focused life that her Nana did.

And that includes work on the committe for the annual Community Potluck. What seems like a harmless community event will propel Lara into another mystery... this time with family ties. Don't miss the upcoming Pot O' Luck mystery!

What about you? What community events do you volunteer with?

One of the best things about being part of the quilting community is the generosity of quilters in supporting the greater community. Our customers are

As you live the week ahead, take time to be in the moment, to notice what’s around you and to measure a successful week by the moments you’ve enjoyed.

A neighbor’s yard has had two big toad stools. As I come and go, it has been fun to note the changes…and the ‘birth’ of two more this past week. One day three toadstools were perfectly round - looking like golf balls lined up on tees. Today two of them looked like umbrellas, appropriate in the rain, but the third one had its edges turned up and the 4th one was totally tipped over. Can’t wait to see what entertainment they provide this week!! 🤣🍄😍

Ah, August…time to soak up summer’s sun and enjoy some quiet time. Lara Langston is doing just that as she finishes up her Surf’s Up quilt. What are you working on?

We’re working on our Surf’s Up quilt, samples for fall classes, and a couple of in process ‘creative’ projects.

Lara is back home in Pringle, soaking up the sun and enjoying some quiet time before her next big quilting trip with Quilting Adventures.

She's still working on her Surf's Up quilt. What are you working on this weekend?

Our byline has been ‘your journey begins with a single stitch’ since we opened in 2010. It is absolutely amazing where those stitches have taken us in the last 16 years and the incredible stitchers we’ve met along the way. Every single stitch not only matters but makes us pause regularly in gratefulness for each one! Thank you for joining us on our journey!😍❤️😊
