Deb's gift

 

How sweet is this? Deb's sister Deanna crocheted this afghan for her. The spools are made independently and then crochet stitched to the white afghan. Another true labor of love.

Spring it on!

I'm ready to start digging in the dirt. How about you?

 

LOTS of new wide backing fabric in stock now!

Batiks!

Tonight

 The girls and I gathered this evening to celebrate Adel at the annual Adel Chamber dinner.

You've all met these AQ employees but let's celebrate them one more time:

Back row - Lonnie Keeran, Kathy Hamilton, Julia Swallow

Front row - Colleen Eckhoff, Flo Welch and Moi'

Storage cabinets/vanities

Cabinets - no tops

Someone contacted me for more information about these cabinets but the email address provided bounced back so, I'll post the details here. Hope that helps.

These are a matched set.  The unit with the drawers even has a trim piece so they can be neatly nested together. 

I am selling one or both for $85 each.  

The dimensions are actually 32 3/4" high by 21” deep. The unit with the drawers is 41 1/2” wide and the unit without drawers is 45” wide.

Purple Bag Special

 

Are you ready for a new Purple Bag Special?

Now through May 15, all regular width fabric cut from the bolt is 25% off for Purple Bag Club Members.

This month's Purple Bag Drawing winner of a 20" squaring up ruler is Kathy Blomquist from Adel!

We will have the magazines in stock soon.

We will not be listed on the passport this year but we are an AISH sponsor and would love to have you stop by, especially July 13, 14 15 or 16 for our Grand Closing Celebration.

A little more on that - - - On July 16 (the same date as our Grand Opening Celebration in 2002) we will close the doors to the retail shop and move to our next chapter, specializing in wide backs available by mail or as Porch Pick Up.  Oh, and at least semi-retirement.

I am in the process of ordering a large selection of wide backs now, both in cotton and in cotton flannel.  I'll be posting pictures here and on our online store - shopadelquilting.com

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

May your day be as bright and cheery as my kitchen table!
