On our way home from Quilt Market

One whirl wind is over and another is about to begin. We are in the airport on our way back from market, and what a market it was. Sandy had a booth full of new quilts in her first fabric line 'Happy Ever After' for Riley Blake Designs.









We can't wait to share them with you.

Watch for details of some fun events we have in the works!

Witches Nights Out!!

For the first time ever, 
Gardner Village will be 
hosting TWO bewitching weekends of 
Witches Night Out. 
 
Witches love any excuse to have fun and throw a party and now the party has been extended for two weekends - October 12th-13th AND October 26th-27th. Ladies...join your fellow sister witches for the 11th year of Witches' Night Out. Plan now to wear your most elaborate, crazy, fun, whimsical witch’s hat or witch's costume. Gardner Village will be filled with enchanting witches from 6 pm to 10 pm both nights, both weekends. Enter the drawing for fun prizes at 7 pm and 9 pm nightly. Also enjoy an emcee, dancing, music, food booths and more. Enjoy spellbinding activities in our shops, and join the Witches' Parade at 8 pm nightly. Join in the dance finale at 10 pm at the main stage. Leave the children with the sitter and grab your witchy friends for this spellbinding ladies night out. Ladies 18 years and older encouraged. 
 
Parking your broom can be hectic this time of year. Due to the huge increase of traffic for Witches' Night Out, we must hire professional parking attendants. There will be a $5 per car parking fee beginning at 10 am on October 12th and 13th and October 26th and 27th. This parking fee ONLY applies to these four dates during October. Receive valuable Village coupons when you park. An alternative option to parking would be to take TRAX this year. There's a stop across the street from Gardner Village.

ISN'T SHE LOVELY.....

Isn't she wonderful.....you gotta love Stevie Wonder!  But I am actually referring to the lastest fabric line from Moda, Sweetwater's Sew Mama Sew.

I had the pleasure of cutting the fat quarters off the fresh, new bolts yesterday; and I loved each and every cut! 

In addition to the yardage and precuts, we have the fantastic canvas prints that Sweetwater produces.  I have already framed one and have it on a shelf in my home! 
Come in and get yours today!

Something NEW !!!

Look at this FANTASTIC table runner that Cecilia made for the shop.....

Spicy Spiral Table Runner

Don't you just LOVE it?  We have a great customer who brought her daughter into the store while she was in town several weeks ago, and she showed us a table runner she had been working on for Halloween.  We got so excited when we saw it.  We Googled the pattern name and found the designer.  When we saw the pattern cover on the Internet, we were so surprised to see that the designer showed the runner in more traditional fabrics.  We thought it definitely called for a more fun fabric combination, and was definitely perfect for Halloween fabrics!  We also think this runner made out of some bright Christmas fabrics, think THE GRINCH, would be darling too!

So thank you to Cathy and her daughter for sharing this great pattern with us. 

If you would like to see Cecilia demonstrate how to make this runner, come into the store during the FIRST ANNUAL SCHOOLHOUSE SERIES, brought to you by the Wasatch Front Shop Hop - September 27th - 29th. 

MORE DETAILS TO COME!
