How could it not after all of this rain?!?  A little sunshine is always appreciated!  The nice thing about rain is that it gives us the perfect excuse to stay inside and sew.

Just arrived this week are layers cakes and select bolts from this line entitled
Alpine by Erin Michael for Moda.  It's inspired by the great outdoors, but it may just inspire you to stay inside and create a landscape quilt!


In addition to the beautiful fabric, Sewlovelee is now offering sewing machines for sale.
These machines by EverSewn are the perfect size and weight for a travel machine and pack a lot of bang for the buck!
Also new to the shop and in search of a new owner is a Bernina artista 630 machine with stitch regular, walking foot and sewing table included. I just purchased the exact same model recently and am really enjoying it!  Come in and check these machines out!

Pat Cole met the challenge "What's your Angle?" and brought this beautiful butterfly into the shop:

Can you name what angle ruler she used?  You can still participate in this challenge and earn yourself some FREE fabric until the end of May.
