Jan mystery & 5.55 reminder

The January mystery quilt is pictured below.

Didn't it turn out great?  The applique is optional.  We do have the fabric if you want to add it.

A reminder - this Friday (Feb.1) is Five fifty five Friday.  We have reloaded the shelves so come and pick your favorites!

The shop will be closed Feb. 5 through 9 as we are teaching and vending at the annual Winter Quilt Retreat at beautiful Ruby's Inn at the mouth of Bryce Canyon.  We are so grateful for your support and hope this isn't too inconvenient for anyone.

Have a great day!
