Welcome!
Where there is great love, there are always miracles. -- Willa Cather
February is here, and love is in the air! Our Minnesota winter has been so mild this year; in other years, it's a warm day that catches us by surprise, but this year that's all turned around, and I'm LOVIN' it!
What's happening with Quilt Clubs? We're adding a new round of "The Farmer's Wife Sampler" memberships, so I hope you'll consider joining! There are two versions from which to choose -- all Moda fabrics, featuring Howard Marcus Heritage fabrics or Thimbleberries classic country colors. Thimbleberries Club, Moda YOU Basket Bounty, Prairie School Sampler (one of my original designs), Snowman Collector Club, Quilting With Laura, Victory Quilts, and All Hearts Come Home For Christmas Club are some of our clubs that attract steady attention. I hope you'll join us for a club or two!
We have website pages devoted to my original designs and some of my longarm quilting work and awards. The longarm schedule is booked several years in advance, but if you have a special request, please inquire about the possibility of a date on the calendar when I might be able to quilt for you. Especially during the summer months, I can sometimes add a quilt if I have enough advance notice.
The Hearts & Pines blog is now part of this site instead of a separate site. Besides quilting and needlework adventures from the studio, the newest Longaberger specials will be spotlighted, too.
Our online shopping process is changing somewhat, too. It should simplify the process for everyone. For example, we are now offering FREE SHIPPING in the USA on every order! Even with the free shipping, our prices are below retail. Checkout is easier, as the transition to Pay Pal is smooth as silk. During the secure checkout process, you may use major credit and debit cards, or your regular Pay Pal balance. We continue to welcome international customers, and it's easy to make any necessary shipping adjustments -- just contact us.
I hope you'll enjoy exploring the new site and that you'll have a wonderful time with the art of quilting and needlework this year! -- Karie Hougard
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. Thomas Moore
