One thing that all the fiber arts have in common is that they all have small notions, parts, tools, etc. So these small bits might as well be cute. Because then they can bring a smile to our faces.
The little Doodle Card Decks from Pacific Knit Co can be assembled to make a larger project. Who wouldn’t like a sweater with a Yeti colorwork yoke? Or you can keep the motifs small and make something like cute mittens. Which we will be needing sooner rather than later.
The other day I was looking for a project bag to put a new knitting project in. Every bag I pulled out from my closet had a project in it! Knitting, embroidery, English Paper Piecing, you name it, it was in a project bag.
So that means it’s time for some new project bags. (did you think I was going to say “time to finish projects”?)
Bridget has been going a great job picking out new project bags for the shop. As I sit here writing this I can see 3 that need to go home with me.
Do you need a new project bag too? I bet you do. 😉
Giuseppe Ribaudo (AKA Giucy Giuce) learned to sew from his grandmother at a young age. In 2008 he began quilting and has never looked back. A talented pattern designer and quilt instructor, Giuseppe now shares his love of quilting through his prolific collections.
Giuseppe, born and raised in New York, now resides in New England. He is an avid modern traditionalist quilter with a great passion for simple design in bright colors.
We have all of his

This year for the H+H Americas trade show they had a Cosplay contest.
Megan decided to participate in her Zelda - Tears Of The Kingdom outfit. The dress was made with fabrics from the shop. The greens in the dress are just your basic Kona Cotton. She wanted to show that you don't have to buy "costume fabric" in order to make a good costume.
Megan's 3d printer came in handy for all the jewelry and 3 dimensional accents.
This has also caused the shop to start stocking a few items that are good for Cosplay.
Cosplay fabrics for basics like muslins for self drafting a pattern. Or for making under cloths for a costume.
We really hope that Cosplayers will find our shop and utilize us for their materials.

Image above from our Instagram - We're in the paper! Read about us in the Sunday March 16th edition of the Star Tribune (the state & region section, page 1 & 2)
We've had a lot of folks ask about JoAnn's closing. "Do you think this will help your small Business?" "Will you show up more in searches for My Local Yarn Store, Fabric Shops Near Me, or Minneapolis Craft Stores?" "Will you change what you carry?" And many more questions that would just be silly to type out.
Will it help our small Business?
I think the answer is yes and no. Yes more people will turn to us for their yarn and fabric needs. But we are a small store and can only carry so much on our shelves. So we focus on curating the yarn, fabric, notions, and more. That means some people will have to shop else where for their buttons, zippers, and fleece.
Will you show up in more searches?
We certainly hope so. One way to make sure we show up in searches is by having a list of key words on our site. I'll be putting them at the end of this post so that you don't have to read through all that SEO stuff. Another way to make sure we show up is to leave us a Review.
Will you change what you carry?
This is a trickier question. We don't have plans to add any new yarn companies or fabric types to the shop. But that doesn't mean we might not in the future. But for now we are focusing on the things we know you want and the stuff we know you'll like.
I'm sure more questions will pop up. Feel free to ask us any that come to mind. I may have some more rambling answers for you. ;) - Megan
