Spring Fever : 55% Off All Fabric

It's 100 degrees outside which is enough to bring on all sorts of fever so until the end of May all our fabric including remnant bundles and already reduced yardage is 55% off.   All sales are final. 

This is the perfect time to get ready for fabulous outdoor parties!   Two or three yards of fabric is all it takes to make a statement.     Our fabric is also perfectly suited to curtain panels and upholstery projects.  We are happy to help with color selection so come on by the store or visit us online.

Natural Selection : New Paintings By Matt Adrian

Our annual showing of Matt Adrian's whimsical, awesome bird paintings went up on our walls yesterday.   I feel like I need to spend as much time drinking in all of my favorites as all the sold ones go to their new homes after the Artist Reception on Saturday evening.   Took a whole heap of pictures this morning for prosperity.

Matt Adrian Show on June 1

A show of the fabulous bird paintings of Matt Adrian (aka The Mincing Mockingbird) at Henry Road has become an annual event which I look forward to every year.   Matt's paintings delight and awe me so I cannot wait to see what he has for us this year.

The show entitled "Natural Selection" will feature new work and the opening will be Saturday June 1 so save the date!   We will know nearer the time exactly when we will hang the show for those of you who want the pick of the flock.  We typically sell about half of the show before the opening as his paintings go like hotcakes!   Not surprising when he creates fabulous-ness like this Toucan that will be in the show!

In addition, we are hard at work making some limited edition pillows featuring three of Matt's paintings that will be available for the opening.  Lots of exciting things on the go!

Deerhead Class: May 22

To everyone who loves the two deerheads hanging about our counter and has expressed interest in making one, the class is finally scheduled.    It is Wednesday May 22 from 6-9 PM.

The class will include the deerhead, Henry Road fabric of your choice and everything else needed to create your own masterpiece.   Wine, cupcakes and other essential refreshments will also be included.  The class will be limited to five people so everyone will have space to work around our cutting table and I will be able to help where needed.

The cost of the class is $200 and no cancellations will be allowed as space is limited and it is so soon.  Give us a call or come by to book your space and make your fabric selections.   It is going to be a fun evening!

Best Wishes

Wow - I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted anything.   No excuses except that it's been busy and I have been thinking about what I want the blog to be going forward.   I have an idea and will make up my mind before January 1:)

In the meantime, I wish everyone a wonderful time with friends and family.   May you share laughter and way to much good food!   Thank you for all your fabulous support!

Happy Weekend

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend!
