Tutorial Thursday - Table Grace Coasters

A few weeks ago, I posted a tutorial for the Table Grace Table Runner.  Here is the follow-up that I promised.

Our First Video tutorial & a Giveaway!

Have you been to one of our shows lately?  If so, you have been witness to Karen demonstrating our FAVORITE quilt product, Quilter's Grid.

Well, we decided to share this fun, educational experience with the entire world.  We are starting a series of video tutorials that will help in your learning and knowledge of quilting and sewing.

And we have hit 10,000!!!

This past weekend, the Home a la mode ladies were at the Dallas Quilt Celebration at Market Hall.  We had a great time and got to meet some amazing new friends, along with visiting with some old friends.

Our "Say it With Words" samples and Quilter's Grid were a big hit and we are busy getting the shipments ready to send out!

And as you may know, we were VERY close to getting our 10,000th order before arriving at the show!  Well, on Sunday afternoon, it happened!!!  And to make it more special, the woman who won is one of the amazing therapists that help with Karen's mom at the nursing home.

We look forward to the next 10,000 orders and meeting more friends along the way!

Friends Indeed

Just recently, some very dear friends of me and my family were transferred to Washington DC.  Although we know this is where they need to be, it was heart-breaking for me and especially for my youngest daughter.  My kiddos are at that stage of life where friends move away, and they don't really understand why :(

To commemorate our wonderful friendship, I wanted to send them off with something special.  What is more special than a quilt made from the heart.  So of course, I turned to our "Say it With Words" panels for inspiration.  The "Friends Indeed" panel really spoke to me - especially the one that says "True Friends are never far apart... maybe in distance, but not in heart."  I know we will see them again (we've already planned our summer vacation) and they feel in their hearts that their time in Texas hasn't ended.  We can only hope and pray that jobs and situations bring them back to us.

Just remember, the road to a friend's house is never long - or so I hope on our LONG drive this summer with 2 kiddos ;-)

Where have you been?

Do you like to travel around our beautiful 50 states?  What type of souvenirs to you gravitate towards?  Well, our collection of State Tablecloths and Towels are a wonderful way to remember where you've been, where you want to go, or just where your friends and family are.  They also make great gifts for those that have moved away.  Keep the memories of where life has taken you :)

Our Snowy "Affair"

We are back!!!  

 

After a somewhat treacherous drive north, we arrived.  This was the first time I remember wearing gloves, scarves, hats, and more layers just to set up the booth.  The unloading of the trailer took even more layers ;)

But now, after a warm meal and a comfy night's sleep, we are refreshed and ready to go.  We are located in the Travel and Transportation Building, Booth #195-196.  We have some great specials going on that you don't want to miss!  And Karen is doing a demo to make your quilting life easier (or you beginners can learn quickly), so stop by and visit with us.

The First Warehouse Sale of the Year!!

This past weekend, we hosted our first Warehouse Sale of 2014.  We had a great time and got to meet a lot of new friends and customers.

 Angela Yosten of Angela Yosten Designs joined us to show her amazing designs and fabric line by Moda.


And we had a great time with the ladies from the Dallas Quilt Guild, who were doing a retreat down the hill.  And don't forget to check out their Quilt Show at Dallas Market Hall on March 7-9th - we will have booth there and would love to see you!
