Fall-O-Ween Blog Hop

Are you ready for some fun, I am. Starting on September 26 to October 6 there will be 10 awsome designers that have put together some hopping fun. Mark you calendars and join in on the fun! I can' wait.
Fall is here at last :o).

Have you had one of these yet?

Have you been to the apple orchard yet, I went Saturday. One of the reasons why I love fall, all of the goodies and the apples. Have you tried a newer apple called Honey Crisp? A woman I work with introduced me to these apples and they are the best apple, my favorite. They are a bit pricey due to being new and all, but oh are they worth it.

My husband is a fan of the McIntosh so a bag of those came home as well as donuts. If you are from the Genesee County area of Michigan there is a wonderful Craft Show being held at the Wolcott Apple Orchard in Mt. Morris MI. If you are in the area stop in for some fall fun, we will be there with a booth selling candy and fabric coasters (my new addiction). Hopefully we will see you there, if not go find some Honey Crisp Apples you will not be sorry (mmmm good)!

Only 10 more days!

Hi everyone, there are only 10 more days to participate in the Autumn Celebration Treasure Hunt, as well as take advantage of the 10% off sale at www.thehometownquilter.com. There are so many fun fall projects it is hard to commit to one. So come on over and take a look at what is new for fall.

Christmas in July

Well it is almost July which means half of the year is over, hard to believe. The good thing about July is that means all of the Christmas and Fall Fabrics are hitting the quilt shops! Please stop in at www.thehometownquilter.com and see what surprizes we have for Christmas In July! See you soon :o).

Spring Market!

Well it is off to market I go! I just made all my arrangements to go to Minneapolis for Spring Market. I am so excited I have never been. There are so many designers I hope to meet like Minick and Simpson, Sandy Gervais, Kathy Schmitz, Kansas Troubles these are some of my favorites, all though there are so many more!

Well it is Easter already I have Monday off, so we will have a nice dinner and I plan on spending some quality time quilting. I am a Fall and Winter person but I have to say that I am glad the weather is warming up and I can break out the old Birkenstocks. If you have never tried a pair of these shoes or sandals on you should they are dreamy.

Well I have to go now, hubby likes Rice Krispie Treats. I think I will whip up a batch for him, he works so hard he deserves a treat.

Talk to you all soon

Superbowl Sunday Weekend Sale

It is almost time for Superbowl Sunday! We are going through our stock here at The Hometown Quilter and getting ready for a sale. Please stop back often as we will be posting our sale fabric to get ready for the new 2010 fabric, let me just say (Yummy).

We will also be having a special sale and drawing the weekend of Superbowl Sunday starting on Friday the 5th of February and ending midnight the 7th of February.

Well I have to go now, Michigan is play Michigan State in basketball and I feel the need to do some sewing and watch this game it should be a good one. GO BLUE!

Wow, I can not believe I finally did it!

I can not believe I did it! I am by no means a computer savy person. I am lucky enough to have a great web girl who takes care of our store, did I mention I am from The Hometown Quilter? Well anyway if you know anyone who needs a webmaster Jen is your girl from her company called The Old Drawin' Board! We would have never been able to open our store without her. For those who know me they know that computers are not my thing, and of course I thought I can do this ( ha ha ha) what a joke. Three months went by many frustrating nights and many tears later I stumbled on Jen and her company and it was like magic.

It is snowing this evening, woohoo! I love the fall and winter, it is such a shame we have not had alot of snow especially for Michigan. There is nothing better than a Snow Day!

Well I have to go for now, it is late and it took me the better half of the evening to start this blog ; ). Goodnight and sweet dreams to all. Chris
