mmmmmm.... Frosty Goodness

Have you tried one of our "Jet Tea" Smoothies? They are getting to be quite popular here at Aunt Mary's espresso Bar.

They are icy and smooth and just hit the spot on these hot day's. The Peach flavor has been the most popular, but we have six flavors to choose from. Very Cherry, Strawberry Bomb, Wild Berry, Extreme Peach, Sour Apple, and Caribbean Colada.

So next time your hot and need some coolness. Aunt Mary's Catina is air conditioned and OPEN.

Oh, and here's a little hint....... check the coupon on Aunt Mary's web site.

Back From Vacation

I"M BACK! Vacation was great! I didn't get to go to the Oregon Coast. My husband had too much work to do. Oh Well. It was so nice to be home for a while. Here at the shop Pat got lots and lots of great stuff in. It's so much fun to come back to a "new" looking shop. This line from Michael Miller is Sooooo Nice. I just love the fairies on it.

Here's a close up of the fairies. Aren't they sweet?

This is such a great little line from Timeless Treasures. Black and White and LIME GREEN! Yummy!!!!

Christmas fabrics are arriving almost every day. It's hard to believe it's just around the corner already. Yep you better get going and be ahead this year. (Humbug!)

Here comes Santa Clause! I just love this one, It's from Alexander Henry of course!!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. We are starting to get some great fall color here at Aunt Mary's So, anyway that's just a few of the new things. I'm glad to be back and get to play in the fun fabric.

I'm Off!!!

Well, everyone, I'm tired! Shop Hop was a great success! We had fun!!! But If I don't get away for a while, I don't think anyone will like me for long. Sooo I'm off for a few weeks. I think the Oregon Coast is calling me. I'll be back soon! Thanks!!!! Don't forget to stop by the shop and make sure everything is going well without me. Pat will be great. She may even give you a good deal? You never know.

Another Fun Shop Hop for the Recordbooks

Another Northwest Washington Shop Hop over and in the books. We had a really good time seeing all of you come in. Here's my friend Heather. I think she was surprised by something. You just never know whats going to happen at Aunt Mary's.

I love it when customers are inspired by something in the shop and stop back to show us what they did. This lady was inspired by our Tri County Shop Hop Quilt, and stopped by to show us what she did. Cool!!!

Even the little ones have a good time collecting their squares for a memory quilt.

We have such great customers visit during shop hop. Everyone seems to be up for stopping and sharing a little about their good time.

The Olive Garden called to warn us about these girls. What a fun group! Margarita anyone?

Almost ready for SHOP HOP

OK! I know I haven't been keeping up on my blog. I have been working hard to get the shop ready for The Great Northwest Washington Shop Hop. There's lots of new fabric in and all kind of new quilts up on display. This cute sail boat quilt is from the "Crazy Kids" Book by the Buggy Barn. I just love their patterns. I just got in a brand new one from them. VERY CUTE!

I finished my "Farm Fresh" quilt in time to hang it for shop hop. I really enjoyed making this summery quilt. Now I need another stitchery pattern to get me through summer. I have been eyeing Meg Hawkey's new pattern "Snowmen, A to Z" It's really wonderful!

I'm so lucky to have such nice friends that let me borrow their finished projects! this one was made by Pat Darracot. She does such a great job. It out of the book by Sandy Klop, " American Jane, Quilts For All Seasons" Well, I think I'm almost ready to meet all the great quilters in Western Washington. I hope you are one of them.

Book Club

Aunt Mary's Book club has been meeting for over five years now! We have had such a great time reading and discussing lots and lots of great books, and a few bad ones too. Here's some of the girls doing some hand work and enjoying the discussion. If you love to read, you should join us!

Going Camping

Aint this just the cutest fabric! It just rolled into the shop. I bet it doesn't last long. Let's go camping! Even if it's just in our sewing room!
