March 9th is the opportunity to see some of the selection of the 4 quilt shops in our region, two here in in Manteo, that sells distinctive fabrics called Shoreline Handwerks http://www.shorelinehandwerks.com/,
Outer Banks Quilts and Antiques on Sir Walter Raleigh Street , where you not only find fabrics but treasures to use with them in collage and fiber art works, art quilts, ATCs and more....

They carry Brights like I have never seen with great patterns, and designs, the owner's mother makes the cutest chicken pin cushions and they are as nice as they can be.

They carry more of the traditional colors and quilt fabrics, some really cute designs,plus some civil war prints. Check them out too when you are out that way visiting.
Tell Connie I said HI!
Fabric Postcards which I love are just small art quilts that you can mail, or keep for yourself and frame. I am working on some more houses, different types of puppies and some new dragonfly pieces. I have been very busy getting many new cards ready , Kitty Cats, Puppy Dogs, Beach Babes and this year I will have a new line that showcases some of my photographs I have taken around the Outer Banks...
I have also been busy creating some new Mini-Arts , small pieces of embellished ATC size art mounted in beautiful frames ...just the right little pieces for a friend at a reasonable price.
What a great group of ladies the Tea Cup Quilters are that tirelessly put the show together every year.
These are photos from Last years Show ...the piece in the first picture to the right..."Ghost of Kill Devil Hills" is hanging in the show this year...I will also have some new postcards that contain the photo that I took the day the coast guard station was torn down that inspired the PAS technique Quilt.
Hope to see you there!!!
