Holiday Open House

Our highly anticipated HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE is finally upon us!

Friday and Saturday,

November 12th & 13th

from 10am to 8pm. 

Each year the Pine Needles' Elves have a busy Autumn designing, making & kitting DARLING 'quick gifts' for you to purchase and make for your neighbors, friends or even yourself, but only have time to make a limited number of kits. 
The Elves have been very creative, and promise fun and inspiration.  So come join us for our most popular event of the year!

*****All remaining kits will be available on our website on Monday, November 15th.****

Good Times!!

Wow!  Two weeks since our last post, can that really be right?!?  What a whirlwind!  To market to market.....home again, jiggity jig.  Sandy, our Mom & I spent five nights in Houston, Texas for the International Fall Quilt Market.  (Here we are at the Aquariam for a lovely dinner courtesy of Benartex)

We were not only purchasing the latest and greatest to bring home to Pine Needles, but were also debuting Sandy's latest designs under her label Pine Mountain Designs.  Her booth was filled with the oooooohhs and aaaaahhhs from store owners from all over the country.  At Pine Needles we have the pleasure of seeing Sandy's designs year round (and usually get to see new designs from her at least once a month), but others who only get to see them once or twice a year remind us how truly unique and inspiring her designs are.  It was so fun to be a small part of that while at Quilt Market.  She has many offers on the table, with many opportunities for amazing national exposure, and I for one can not wait for the world to know my EXTREMELY TALENTED sister! 

Here I order and order and order delicious fabrics from one of our favorites Michael Miller. 

I ordered so much fabric that I got 30 seconds in the booth to catch as much Fabric Cash as I could. 

But enough of that!  Here is a picture of our finished "Mystery Monday" which Sandy has named Deck the Walls! 

 It is so nice to be re-inspired and reminded of just why we love quilting.  Come to Pine Needles, see what we brought home and let us inspire you too!

button, button, who's got the most fabulous buttons?  WE DO! 

Vintage is here with Doodlebug Boutique Buttons!  They come in retro shapes and trendy colors - just like stumbling into Grandma's favorite button tin.  Available in unique shapes and styles, mixed color cards, or cards of pink, brown, white......Oh they are SEW GOOD!  20 buttons, in 8 exciting shapes on each card.  I grabbed a couple different cards to send in a care package to my sister because I know she will squeal with delight when she sees them, and so will you!

October is BREWING up fun at Pine Needles!

October is a crazy month for Pine Needles, it begins with LDS Conference Weekend which brings in a lot of ladies from out-of-town.  Next week we have Fall Frenzy, which is going to be FANTASTIC (click here for all the details)!  Not to mention UEA weekend, which means here in Utah all of the school kids are out of school for a looong weekend.   Then the following weekend (October 22nd & 23rd) it is Witches Night Out.  And then we are off to Quilt Market!!!!! 

Speaking of Quilt Market, Sandy has been busy designing some fun new patterns to release at Quilt Market.  But most exciting, is a new book featuring a whimsical applique quilt.  It is so, so, so, soooo cute.  The ladies at Pine Needles have had a look at some of the individual blocks, and are all beginning to collect fabric to make sure they have the perfect piece when it comes time to begin their applique!  

So as you see, October is brewing up a storm in Pine Needles and in Gardner Village!
