Wow!

The Sampler is transforming into a wonderful world of color. The new fabrics keep getting better and better. One of my favorites is this fun bright green and blue collection. I had a customer in recently who is going to make a baby quilt out of these fabrics. How much fun is that.
This blue and white collection is gorgeous and would be a great addition to anyone's stash. You will love the new Philip Jacobs and Kaffe Fassett fabrics that are now on the shelves. Here is a small taste. I know you will love them. One of our favorite designers, Lori Allison has shared a great idea with us using these fabrics. She the perfect Philip Jacobs fabric and turned it into a very fashionable shower curtain. She was nice enough to provide us with the instructions. If you are interested in the instructions please contact the shop. I know my bathroom could use a facelift and plan on using Lori's idea very soon. Thanks Lori for sharing. We are busy preparing for the Minnesota State Fair. Be sure to stop by our booth in the Creative Activities Building Annex. We will have the new Clover bow maker for you to check out, along with quilt kits, apron kits, and much more. Of course there will be great deals on Bernina sewing machines that you won't want to miss. Tracy and Sandy will be around to give you all the details.
We keep adding new classes for the fall. Our newsletter will be ready this week. Check out our website for details. http://www.the-sampler.com/ or call us at 952-934-5307. We can also be reached by email: sampler@the-sampler.com
