Block Party Update !!!

Wow! It is September already!  Summer is coming to an end in Beautiful Vermont.  I recently started a new job (you know, the one that pays for my happy hobby!!!!) and every morning I get to round a corner on the only highway that runs through Vermont and see the most beautiful scene of Camel's Hump.  My most favorite mountain in the entire state!  I hope to take a picture but here is one I found that was taken from the 'other side' of the mountain and of course is the snowy scene I just can't wait to see again.  If you are going to live in Vermont, you need to love winters - which I do!!!!

Ahh, but I digress!  I finally finished the Pictogram Block Party Quilt by Judy Nowicki.  What a fun time I had with the class! We met almost weekly through the summer.  We learned so much about our Embroidery Machines!  The placement functionality is so critical in a quilt like this.  Each block had at least 3-4 placements.  We all found the Frixion Gel Pens SO wonderful for these blocks.

Here is the top draped over my couch.  The quilting ideas are flowing.  Each block will be custom quilted!  I have a few quilts to put on Little Miss Lovey before this one.  Hopefully it will be on the machine in a couple of weeks!




I'm already starting the next quilt. I tested thread colors to go with "Walking On Sunshine" by Wilmington Prints.  Fabric is available on www.cadicorners.com. My first sample is shown here on the left.  The CDs and thread packs will be available soon.  I'm going to start with a wall hanging and I want to use the cool new Embroidery Batting

Happy Stitching!!

In Just a Few more hours.......

For those of you following my posts, you know that my dear sister Cathy (author of CathysChatterReview.BlogSpot.com) and I have a lot in common.  We bridge the gap in our locations through having an online fabric shop (CaDi Corners) plus the new studio which will soon be open to the public and doing the shopping for it and our customers! 

This week Cathy and I will be thinking of you, our customers as we set out to make purchases at Spring Market (we are getting a bit low on fabrics, patterns and notions) and just to spend some much needed sister time.   We are SO looking forward to meeting the fabric designers and teachers, friends we have made along the way, taking classes ourselves and of course spending time picking out some beautiful fabrics.  Already we have a list we are working from because of the great feedback we get from our customers and students!!! 

Oh, before I forget.....Opening our studio to the public happened a little sooner than in our original plan ~~ we are officially taking appointments!  Our Contact information is on our Website - www.cadicorners.com ~ feel free to call for your One-on-One!  This One-on-one can be for browsing and shopping, taking a class or just stop by to chat ~ bring your show and tell!!! 

Be sure to add us to your daily reading this week!  We will be posting pictures of our fun time!!!!

Until then, Happy Stitching!!!!!

Here is a picture of the quilt we were privileged to be a part of with Little Miss Lovey!!!! (that would be our Gammill Longarm!)
