MY LITTLE SECRET


 
 
 
I have been keeping a little secret.
 
It all started with a phone call last September.
 
It was from Jennifer Keltner, Editor of
 
Quilt Sampler Magazine.
 
KEEPSAKE COTTAGE
was selected to be in the Spring 2013, Top Shop issue of Quilt Sampler Magazine!!
 
 
It is like the Academy Awards for Quilt Shops!
 
I have squealed out loud more than once.
 
There were 3 people, including the editor, in the shop for 2 days in September. We took down all traces of Fall and Holiday, and made the shop look like Spring.
 
It was a wonderful time for all of us.
 
Then I got to work to create Our Quilt.
 
I was lucky enough to work with Lissa Alexander (Moda Lissa).  I used a future collection from Minick and Simpson, Indigo Crossing.  Timeless and classic blues, tans and creams.  The quilt pattern is Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.  And, it is completely cut on our Accuquilt Machine.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Our beautiful quilt will be hanging in the shop,
starting tomorrow.
 
You will be able to pre-order the quilt kit when we get closer to the
publishing date of the Magazine.  Remember, it will all be precut for you!!
 
Thanks for making Keepsake Cottage the best Local Quilt Shop! xo j
