Fun and Fabrics!

And the fun continues!  The last couple of days have been fun and busy around BJ's- we got to meet our Shop Hop Basket winner- Kayleen!  She is obviously a young sewer- so inspiring to see the kids getting into quilting.  She was particularly excited to get the Shop Hop bag that was tucked into the basket.

Congratulations to Kayleen, our Shop Hop Basket winner!

As if the sale isn't enough to keep me busy cutting jelly rolls, a new shipment of batiks prompted us to do some relocating...  The modern graphic section is now in the corner, all arranged beautifully by Wanda.

The Modern section in it's new home..

 And the batiks moved to their own aisle in order to make room for FOUR NEW BOXES of fabric!  So colorful, no?

Yumm!  And that's only one side of the new Batik aisle!!

 In addition to the boxes and boxes of batiks, we received a curious little box with the following lineof fabrics...we're pretty sure they're not terribly common, at least in recent memory.  :)

What is it?  *Hint* It's NOT Asian...

It's EGYPTIAN!  How fun is this?!

I apologize for not posting the pictures of the new tools Vicki has been texting me...they're not loading to a size that makes them visible  :(  Never fear!  We'll be hosting a small event to familiarize you with these nifty new gadgets when they get back!

Shh!

Hello all!

This is Lindsey, the resident techie at BJ's Quilt Basket, and I've taken over the blog for the weekend asVicki  is out of town- she and our manager, Nancy, are off to Market in Salt Lake City!  They'll be touring and learning all of the new tools and techniques available to the quilting world.  Keep checkin' back here throughout the weekend to see what little samples Vicki texts back to me here! 



This is a rare opportunity here at BJ's- the bosses are never BOTH gone and the SAME TIME.  To commemorate this unique event, the employees here at BJ's are having a sale...check it out!

May Flowers!

The sun is out and the flowers supposedly promised to us by the April showers haven't arrived yet- except in fabric!    We've just received two new lines of Spring florals we thought might lift your spirits...

Not even out of it's packaging yet!




The focal panel of the Lovely Ladies line!



The second line we've gotten in is Robyn Pandolph's new floral, Scarborough Fair.  I've been experimenting with kits for this line- you'll have to check back in a few days to see what I've managed to come up with!!

Well, we're all busy around here after the crazy fun of the Central Oregon Shop Hop.  I wanted to thank all of those who visited the shop and participated in the Hop this year- we had a blast and we hope you did too!  If you're curious who won what this year, check out the Shop Hop section of our main webpage, http://www.bjsquiltbasket.com/.
