noteworthy by sweetwater...

we are so proud to be able to feature our very own katrina in the front window this month...

 
noteworthy by sweetwater for moda is the perfect collection for spring.  the colors are refreshingly sweet. exactly like katrina! 

 
when we were at quilt market last fall, katrina fell in love with the patterns by cluck, cluck, sew.  she utilized "scout" for this quilt.

 
as we traveled to market together, i filled my time on the plane by piecing one inch hexagons. at first, katrina was not so sure about the hand stitching involved. until a few weeks ago that is, when she found herself traveling to salt lake city for a convention with bone marrow transplant docs and nurses. just in case you don't know, this amazing young woman is a nurse coordinator at the seidman cancer center at university hospital during the week.  during her time away she created this very clever pattern with her hexies.  it's the perfect size for a european pillow sham insert. and with that, i think she is hooked on paper piecing!
 
you can find katrina in the shop every saturday. her creations will be on display through the end of march.  and on this sweet sunday, i would sincerely like to thank katrina for all she does for our little shop. she was indeed sent to us by the creator of our master plan and we are most grateful.

reunion by our very own...

...have you met katrina yet?  she is a nurse coordinator in the bone marrow transplant unit at university hospitals during the week.  on saturday's we are lucky enough to have her share her day with us.  recently, she took home a layer cake of reunion by sweetwater...


..and returned with this well constructed, awesome quilt. it was an instant attraction for me, i fell in love and knew it must hang on our wall. there was a slight problem. she made it to donate to a fundraiser for a fellow nurse who recently had a stroke. so we had to bid on it. in the end it was a win- win situation. we won the quilt and we were able to provide funds for a very deserving young family. did i mention katrina has only been quilting for a short while? kudos to you my friend. we are so proud of you!!!
