New PieBirds Runner Pattern

New release of PieBirds pattern...coming soon!

I'm updating the previous PieBirds Hot Pad pattern to include this cute PieBirds Runner.  Measures 7" x 37"...nice and skinny to fit down the middle of your table with enough room to set place settings too!

Great for an entry table...

I have an old door inside my entryway...why not hang it?  

Pattern will be available on September 28th and the PieBird Runner will be hanging in Momma Made It Quilt booth at the NW Quilting Expo!  Pattern and kits available then! :)

Momma Made It~ Top Quilt Shop!

Spent the day in Longview, Washington admiring all the beautiful quilts, cottons, wools, handmades, ahh!
Owners Jennie and Jacie make it so homey!!  You don't want to leave!  

Here's a look inside!

If you see something you love...they also have an online store!  

Kits and fabrics, wool...notions...love!

Oh...and look!  I always say my only goal as a longarmer is to one day have a picture in a magazine of a quilt that i quilted!  Thanks to Momma Made It, i can now die a happy quilter!  Yay!

You'll have to get a copy of Quilt Sampler to see their quilt!  

Also inside, is a photo of  Noble Spools!  I don't even know what to say!  

Lots of great shops and their quilt patterns showcased in the magazine too!
