I know the pictures speak for themselves, but can I please talk about our friend Ellen's 50 States quilt for a minute?!?!?!? She finished it this weekend and we are soooooo impressed! First, by the fact that she managed to piece together all the states so perfectly. (Can you imagine adding a seam allowance onto a piece of fabric shaped like California?) Second, by the beautiful muted color palette, and third, all the incredible hand quilting! It looks so amazing, and I can't wait for the accompanying Hawaii and Alaska pillows.
Seeing other peoples' handiwork is so inspiring- I have a stack of fabric that is just sitting there waiting to be turned into a quilt, and I finally feel ready to embark on that project. Thank you Ellen for the inspiration! And congratulations on your cozy new quilt!
PS- if you're feeling inspired, check out the quilt kits we've got for sale in the shoppe. (So glad we can finally share this stuff now- it's been hard not being able to mention it the past couple weeks as we've been working to get the store open!)

"I can't wait for the accompanying Hawaii and Alaska pillows."
so awesome.
WOW!!!! THAT IS IMPRESSIVE! How long did it take?
I'm dying to srat my own, and much like Lauren have all the fabrics - more than enough - which makes it harder to decide which to use and when to start. The colors really are beautiful.
Congratulations.
That is amazing! So beautiful, Ellen! Alaska and Hawaii pillows, that is the best.
And congrats Lauren and Derek on the Shoppe opening! I am already pining after half your merchandise.
