New computer!

Last week I got a terrible virus! And not the kind that will keep you home in bed! (Although I kind wish I could have covered my head with my pillow and just forgot it all!) this virus was very yucky!!! Long story short. I had to get a new computer. It took quite some time to get it all set up. I have almost everything transfered, BUT NOT MY E-MAIL LIST!!! So now I have to rebuild my customer e-mail list. I am now putting names and addresses in by hand. So If you don't get an e-mail from me in the next couple weeks, you might want to e-mail me and get your name back in. I guess we should never take even our computers for granted. So from now on I will give it a little pat and hug more often.

We are ready with lots of fun little things that say "I Love You!" Never pass up an oportunity to let them know they are special! Oh, I almost forgot........ I think you, My great customers are very special too!!!

Here's a fun little project! For those of you that did the Christmas tree napkins.......Here's a sweet valentine napkin. FUN and EASY! Happy Valentines Day!!!

Sorry! It's been a long time.

I'm so sorry if you have been checking my blog and I just have not added anything to it. The new year brings lots of work for me. Lot's of projects to work on. But the good new is the shop is looking pretty great! There's lots of new classes coming up and projects galore! First I wanted to let you know about the American Hero group that will be here on Saturday. What a great group. They make quilts for the wounded soldiers coming back from Iraq. They would love to have you come join them. There is work for everyone. Call the shop for more information.

The shop is full of new and wonderful quilts and projects. Here's one that is fun and easy! We have a fabric pac that will get you going today! I just love the colors in this quilt. It made the yucky weather we had much less depressing. Who could be blue with all these beautiful batiks to work with?

Here's Judy! She just stopped by to show me a new quilt of Freddy Moran's that she will be quilting. It will be in Freddy's new book that will be out in a few months. I can't wait! I really love her quilts and her style. Watch for a workshop with Freddy coming next fall.

Here's one of Roxanne's great Patterns. It's a "quilt as you go" quilt. You will be soooo surprised how fun it is. It would be even funner to come to girls day out and work on it. I promise to do better with the blog so keep checking in!

Happy New Year!

It's Christmas eve and I hope all of my wonderful customers and friends have a really wonderful holiday. I hope you all really enjoy every minute, with family and friends. Happy Holidays!!!! HO! HO!

The Snow doesn't keep Aunt Mary Home!!!!

OK! So now I'm just a little tired of all this white stuff!!! It's been quite lonely here. My husband is at this moment clearing the parking lot to make it easier for you to visit. So if you are feeling a little cabin feverish, stop in for a mocha and a smile. One of my friends came by the other day and I was so glad to see someone, I talked their ears off. I promise I will let you leave when you are ready. Happy Holidays!!!! HO, HO, HO!

Jack Frost is Really Nipping!!!

Well I made it to the shop this morning! I have a feeling it's going to be kind of quiet today. I guess it will give me time to get our new winter newsletter written. We have lots of new classes lined up. There's something fun for everyone.

A view from the back window. Yep It's still snowing!!! I hope all my friends and customers are safe and warm. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!

Our Food Drive This Year

Aunt Mary's Food Drive this year was a great success! So far this season we have delivered 252 pounds of food to the local food bank. Thank you to all that contributed! Quilter are very generous people! In this holiday season, not to mention the economy, more people are in need of our help. I will be accepting food at the store and delivering it to the food bank regularly. So if you want to stop by and donate, please do. Thank you!!!! Carrol

This Saturday is Demo Day!!! We always have lots of fun on this day. This time I will be featuring projects that can be done in a half hour or less. Yep that's right 30 minuts! I always love to get someting that my friends have made just for me. I'll show you how to make them quick and easy. Here are some of the great projects...... Hot Pads! These little guys are Sooooo easy and everyone love to get one. Pick up a kit and get started. Take home some of the insulbrite batting and make some for everyone!

Pillow case kits!!! These have become a traditional gift that everyone loves.We have lots of them made up and ready to put together. If you don't find just the one you are looking for. We can put the fabric together just for you.

These little Christmas tree napkins have been the biggest hit this year. They are so fast and easy to make. Stop by for a kit that includes the pattern and enough fabric to make four napkins. Then, you can use the pattern to use up all your Christmas stash. Some of my customers have made hundred's of them for everyone they know.

And don't forget to tell Santa that there are lots of wonderful things that would be great for stocking stuffers right on the counter. So the shopping will be fast and easy! Maybe a gift certificate? Check the coupon on my web site and leave it were he will find it. Happy Holidays!!!! Ho Ho Ho! Hope to see you Saturday!!!

A New Friend

A new friend has landed at Aunt Mary's. We found him out in the cold and invited him to come live at Aunt Mary's. I think he will fit right in!

Here is a very quick and easy project. I bet almost anybody could get this done before Santa gets here. It's one panel and two borders. TA DA!!!
