When is the Cold Front Coming
I'm hearing that a cool front is moving in next week. It will be in the high 90"s. Believe it or not, I'm thinking it really will feel cooler compared to the 110 degree weather we have been having. It should be just in time for the Oklahoma City Summer Quilt Show--"From Heart and Hands" hosted by Central Oklahoma Quilters Guild, Inc., June 24 & 25th. Friday from 9-8 and Saturday 9-5. It is usually held at the Cox Pavilion, but has been moved to the Transportation Building due to air conditioning problems. Hope to see your there.

I know you will love this line--so keep August 6th. open on your calendar to spend some time here at The Enchanted Quilt for our Christmas in August celebration!!
We have several patterns here at the shop that we just love. One is these is the Magic 9 Patch. www.theenchantedquilt.com/shop/Patterns/Quilt-Patterns/Various-Designers/p/Magic-9-Patch-sku-2622.htm
This is an easy, but gorgeous quilt. We have done this quilt in black & white, red & white, browns, and blues. The pattern includes baby thru king size directions. Everyone loves this pattern. Check out our new blue one.
We just got in some new charm square and layer cakes. www.theenchantedquilt.com/shop/Fabric/PreCuts.htmThey are Moda Marbles in brights, citrus and pastels, and would be ideal for use with the new Twister Tools. www.theenchantedquilt.com/shop/Notions--Stuff/Templates.htm Don't think they are too boring to use, because a customer came in last week and was using them to put in a vest. It was gorgeous!!
We will be getting in more jelly rolls over the next few months for a jelly roll race--we will be discussing this more in the near future.
Tip to help Your Long Arm Quilter
Make sure to use 100% cotton for your quilt back of your 100% cotton quilt top. Remove all selvages from your seams to prevent puckering. Make your backing and batting at least 6" larger than your top on all sides.
Till next time--happy stitching.
