Many of you know Nancy and have asked about her. She is unable to be at the shop on a regular basis. Some of our customers made blocks and we have been trying to put together a time to give it to her. We were able to "lure" her to the Breakfast Club and she had a good time visiting. She loves her quilt and it is clear everyone loves her!! Thanks to all who have asked about her, made a block and helped share a special time.  Visitor from Turkey We had a special visit from Nilgun Sahin who lives in Turkey. She got a sneak peak at the quilts from Bigfork Bay. Even though she didn't speak English, she clearly understood the world of quilting and we had a great time!!   Bigfork Bay Cotton Company Came and we had fun! We will carry their patterns, kits and thread kits. If we don't have it we can get it! Stop by and check out the book of patterns.
