2700 Nails

My husband has been busy in the garage today. 2700 nails

fired out of his trusty nail gun. He will be staining tonight

and I can get some boxes in the mail tomorrow. He is working

as fast as he can, thank you for your patience.

A Story

This story will explain why your ruler box is not in the mail:

Once upon a time, my husband started making ruler boxes

again. He said, "I have 30 large boxes and 40 small boxes

made, go ahead and put them back on the website. That should

last for a while and if you need a few extras I can make them when

 I get back from my back packing trip in the Sierra's."

- - - - - - - - - - -
So I got them all set up on the website and let everyone know

with this blog post that they were available again. Well,

I guess there are a lot of ruler box lovers out there because

the response has been overwhelming and, needless to say,

I was not prepared for so many orders. So as soon as my

husband returns from his trip he will be spending his 

days in the garage with his trusty nail gun and I will get

them in the mail to you as quickly as I can.
Thank you for understanding.

Simple Solids

I am having a lot of fun with solids lately. We are waiting for

the arrival of our new collection of Centennial Solids from

Marcus Brothers. This great quilt left for the quilter today.

I will show it all to you as soon as it is done. (no pressure Maria)

This pattern is from a new book by Denyse Schmidt

Modern Quilts - Traditional Inspiration

I am enjoying using the solids and her simple, fresh patterns.
