HOPPIN BOBBIN UPDATES
I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to SPRING! This has been the worst winter that I can remember in my lifetime and I can't tell you just how much I really dislike snow........ I had to finally get Jan to take off her snowflake charm and put on her flip flop charm. The sewing "snow days" have been nice but I'm a little tired of being cooped up in the house. What kind of projects have you gotten done? Post them on our facebook page, we always like show and tell! There are a lot of fun classes coming up and lots of new fabrics and patterns at Hoppin Bobbin! Come in and check them out!
On a personal note, thank you to all who were praying for my Dad. While we are still not sure what is causing all of his back pain, we did find out that the spot on his pancreas is only a cyst! We were really excited about this news and are so thankful for all of your prayers!
What's New At Hoppin Bobbin
Quilted Coasters I and II
Well, I was finally able to talk Debbie into publishing these patterns herself! Her instructions are fabulous and now you can purchase them even if you weren't able to take the class! We now have Quilted Coasters I and II available!
New Batiks from Batavian Batiks and Anthology
We received over 15 bolts of new batiks from Anthology and Batavian Batiks last week. The colors and prints are fabulous! I really want to make something out of these........ one more to the bucket list.
Blenders and Basics
Hoppin Bobbin is trying to expand on their blenders and basics line of fabrics. We have teamed up with Wilmington Prints to carry their complete line of basics. We are excited that these fabrics will be reorderable and that the colors and feel of the fabric are incredible. This month 21 bolts arrived in reds, corals and pinks. I am anxious to see what will arrive next month!
