Another September, another "back to school" time! New pins and needles, maybe a new ruler (did you know they can wear out?), and new blades - these are our school supplies. We've just indulged in a new mat for the store - I can't believe how much of a difference it has made!
I have a couple of trips planned for the fall - Carl and I are heading off to China at the end of September (oooh - silk, yum!), and then I am off to Houston for Quilt Market at the end of October. I'll be back from both of these adventures with lots of new ideas!
Look forward to seeing you soon (and don't forget your Show and Tell).

Introducing "Poppin's Own"
Poppin's is pleased to introduce our own collections of 2 1/2 in strips, 5 and 10 inch squares, and more! Available in Black and Whites, Asians, Florals - with more coming all the time. Individual charm squares - great for I Spy quilts! We also have pre-cut, pre-fringed rag quilt kits - yes, pre-fringed! No more sitting for hours cutting the fringe after putting your rag quilt together.
Cake Therapy and Charm Sessions
"But what do you do with these squares and strips?" We have some workshops scheduled to assist you with what to do with these pre-cut pieces. Our Charm Sessions will give you projects and ideas for using 5 inch squares, and Cake Therapy will focus on those 10 inch squares. Hmm...if 10 inch squares are layer cakes, and 5 inch squares cupcakes?
Greetings From Canada
Poppin's is participating in the Trend Tex National Shop Hop "Greetings from Canada". Running Sept. 1st to December 31st, there are some great prizes to be won. The Grand Prize is a trip for 2 to Quilt Canada 2010! We hope to see you as you hop around the nation - it's going to be fun seeing where people are travelling from! Full details can be found at the Trend Tex website www.trendtexfabrics.com
