quilt kit of the week

This quilt is a classic.  Do you recognize it?

Yellow Brick Road, by Atkinson Designs of course!  It seems to be every one's go to favorite.  Well, it's our too!

So we made it our Kit of the Week, here at Sew Katie Jean.  It includes 6 fat quarters and the pattern.  But if you already have the pattern, pick up a few of these 18 x 22 bits of fabric for a sweet summer quilt.  We even added a bit of ric rac on ours for a touch of fun!

 Meet Melissa.  She made a pillowcase for her girls.  And had so much fun doing it!  She actually jumped up and down when she finished sewing (don't hate me Melissa, you were just too cute :)

She actually made two pillowcases in one class.  And picked out the funnest fabrics!  I love the "Aren't you just the tweetest!" by Cosmo Cricket.  It looks perfect for a pillowcase.  And I love the matching yellow band, it coordinates them perfectly.

To date, Melissa has actually made 3 pillowcases.  At my last count anyway.  If you don't want to miss out on the pillowcase sewing excitement, there is another class coming up:

Isn't this a gorgeous little chair? My mom was going to through it out, and thought I just might like it! It was covered with different fabric of course. Very 80's country looking.

I had a bit of Amy Butler fabric that was just the right amount to cover it all nicely. And the colors just popped, when I put it by my newly painted shelves. Later it will be moved to sit by my cutting table. But I love it where it is just right now.

My shelves are beginning to fill up with new fabrics. This is DeLovely by Cosmo Cricket. I have made a few crafts with this, that are already up in my shop. Remember the embroidery hoops?

And this is Spring Street by Carolyn Gavin of P&B Textiles. I am in for some sewing fun! Soon I will be opening my doors and you can have some fun with me :)

These pictures were taken over a week ago of my shop. And I am so happy to be sharing them with you. Plus it really shows me that I have gotten some work done! Things have changed and been added since then.

I hope you can tell right away, that this isn't going to be a normal sewing and fabric shop. I want Sew Katie Jean to be an inspiration to sewers and non sewers. I want my customers to feel comfortable bringing fabric into their homes for fun no sew projects like these embroidery hoops. Which is covered in Delovely by Cosmo Cricket and my fun collection of vintage doilies.

I also will be selling some of my favorite vintage finds. Plus using them for display. This green cabinet once held tools in a garage. Now it will hold my extra sewing patterns.

The vintage carriage is not for sale, but is just perfect for showing off my vintage fabric. The little bird cage has 3 birds in it also made with Delovely. It is such a pretty fabric collection. Right now it can all be seen in my store front door.
