Hope everyone is enjoying our Quilting Block of the Month. (April's is pictured) If you don't know, we have been taking pictures of Carroll county barn quilts and making the patterns for our BOM club. Still open to anyone wanting to join, and those who make all 12, get 2 yards of fabric free at the end of the year to sash, border or use anyway your heart desires.

And now, Craig (my wonderful husband) and I are putting a quilt block on our shed. Anyone want to guess the design?? Exciting!!!

Okoboji is OPEN and it is great to see all of you. Class listing will be posted Soon. We are offering Workshop Wednesdays so plan on coming to The Yarn Basket in Okoboji on Wednesday and join us.
Til then, Beth

OK, my mid year new years resolution is to be more active with my blog. Sorry about the LOOOOONG time lag!!

New: Okoboji opens this Friday, May 29th and will be open now for the summer months. 10-5pm with lots of fun yarns and classes. Hope to see you there.

Quilting: Mom and I just got back from Quilt Market and I am soooo excited about felted wool. Although I am not much for hand work (unless I have needles in my hands for knitting) I do want to branch out and try this applique technique with wool. You don't have to turn under the edges so it is easy. We are going to start a block of the month and create the most gorgeous quilt you ever saw! Also have other individual patterns for working with wool. So much fun! Stop in and see the patterns.

Our Barn Quilt Block of the Month is going well. It is so fun to see which barn we are going to do next. What we find amazing is how fast the months roll around and we need to get the next one ready. Wow, life is fast!!!

Yarn: Great projects we are doing are the shawl Heather made for spring, baby blu (jeans for the baby made with Rowan Denim), top down cardigans, tank tops, and much more.

Would love to see you in the shops or call us and we can ship.
til then, Happy knitting, crocheting and quilting, Beth
