News From Joy and Randy

1/2/12

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a safe New Years.  I pray 2012 will be a wonderful year for you.

I decided to clean up some today and quilt a small wall hanging.  I made another Fibonacci wall hanging and quilted it. I used Robert Kaufman fabric Effervescence for the back which was suggested by my friend, Mark Sherman.  It has great waves on it which when put on the back of the quilt and quilted from the back gives you a great design on the front without much effort.  The fabric comes in two colors bright colors called Jewel and teal/brown colors called Earth.  I have both of them in stock and they are $10.50 per yard.

I hope everyone is having a great time getting ready for Christmas.  I keep saying I need to clean house before we put up the Christmas tree but that may not happen.  Randy put up Christmas light yesterday and he is gone shopping today.  If I know him he is buying more lights.  He really likes the LED lights and he doesn't have any, so......

I am hooked at the Disappearing 9 Patch or Tossed 9 Patch pattern.  I have the Quilt in a Day Pattern, Tossed 9 Patch now in stock. Here are a couple of new tops that I am working on:

Also, using up some of my gradation scraps in my version of Caryl's Fibonacci design.  These are really addicting.  I have two made now and I think they will make great baby gifts.

The good news we got this last week is that Benartex is going to reprint twenty-five gradation colors.  I was in a panic as to how I was ever going to make new samples out of just my fabric but I can relax a little.  We should have the reprints in stock by April so I am hoping to have a full shelves by the IQF Cincinnati and AQS Paducah shows.

I have a 30 foot booth at several shows this year so I will be bringing the dresses and t-shirts.  These shows will be Rio Grande, Dallas, Columbus and Houston.  Let me know if you want to preorder some of these items, so I can be sure these colors and sizes are in stock.

If you have any questions, please call or email me.
