I want to take a moment to say “Thank You!” to everyone who stopped by my new studio at 100 Boxart St. (in Charlotte) over the past month. It was great to see everyone and show you my new space. The holidays have been busy this year at Quilting with Margaret and the Boxart Building. We all appreciate you shopping local.

And since I have had several people ask if I had any more hours planned, I decided to open for Second Saturday, Dec. 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. I will also be in the studio at various times over the next couple of weeks, so give me a call (831-2566) if you would like to stop by after this Saturday. I will be happy to be open by appointment.

I still have potholders, oven mitts, coaster sets, and a few holiday runners left. Also, I just got some “Country Cardinals” fabric in, which is the fabric I used to make the runner pictured above. I love the cardinals and snowy pine trees in this fabric. It would make a wonderful holiday runner, but you could leave it out all winter.

And as a gift to everyone who buys a yard of one of these fabrics, I will give you a FREE Easy Tablerunner & Placemat pattern to make this fun tablerunner from the border stripe fabric (or any other border stripe fabric). There’s still time to make a few of these quick runners as gifts.
