Happy birthday, Achaia!
Those of you who have read our blog for awhile can probably remember back to lots of different birthday posts I've written over the years. You might even think that all I've said surely can't be true – no girls could be so perfect. But I am truly blessed beyond measure by these daughters of mine.
Today I am especially thankful for Achaia – my second born daughter. She is so dear and precious to me. When I was expecting her, I sincerely hoped she'd be another girl… and how delighted I was twenty-five years ago today. And I am still delighted. Achaia is so organized! She's efficient and handy. No one in the family can hold a candle to Achaia when it comes to needlework – cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint – you name it. But what would any of that matter if she didn't love and serve Jesus Christ? Achaia is joyful and has a servant's heart. Awesome? You bet she is! And I love her with all my heart.
XOXO Happy birthday, Achaia!
Love, Mommy
Okay, so now that we've read what Mom had to say, we're all trying to sniff up the tears. But of course we have to tell our favorite Kay that we hope she has a wonderful birthday! Because we are pretty crazy about her. It's funny how one person can take up so much room in our hearts. Maybe it's because we love her so much.
Happy birthday, Achaia! We've always got your back.

New plans for a New Year.
Hello friends!
We said goodbye to 2014 just a few days ago. And while we welcomed the New Year with open arms, we were a little sad, too, because we'll be making some HUGE changes here in our little studio. Good changes, but changes nonetheless!!
We will no longer be selling fabric. This isn't to say that we'll never ever carry any of our favorite fabric collections again, but for now everything must go. (Which is where the sale comes in, of course.) So if there's anything in stock that you've had your eye on, please snatch it up before it's gone! All first-come orders will receive a free quilting project pattern, too.
Shop ALL FABRIC for $8 a yard!!!
….And all previous $6-a-yard fabrics are now $5!!
Along with the fabric, all custom sewing will be coming to an end. You'll notice on our website that no custom-sewn items are available any longer… but the boutique is full of lovely garments that need a new home! If you have your heart set on something custom sewn, please contact us and we'll see if we can work things out.
*We've had some express concern that they won't be able to purchase happy scrappy quilts any longer. We are glad to report that we are still MORE than happy to take custom orders on quilts!! As of right now, they will not show up as available on our website, but please don't let that stop you! Feel free to contact us directly via email, and we will work with you from there.*
SEWING PATTERNS WILL STAY!!! They aren't going anywhere! So no worries. You'll still hear from us. And you'll still see new patterns and exciting stuff.
We want to thank you all from the very bottom of our hearts for your support and enthusiasm over the years. It's hard to believe we opened our fabric store way back in 2008! And you all have loved us and been so kind ever since. We are SO thankful for you.
If you have any concerns or questions, please, please let us know!
With love from our home to yours~
XOXO
Kristie, Apphia, Achaia, Abigail, & Abiah
