Kansas City friends, come by and say hi! 04.01.2013

We can hardly believe this day is here, but we are ecstatic to say that our very first fabric collection is in stores now!!! AND, get this, our favorite local fabric shop has offered to host us for a designer meet and greet this Friday! Harper’s Fabric & Quilt Co. in old Overland Park always has the greatest selection of fabrics for all of our craft projects, so we are pretty much flipping out that they will now be carrying our very own line!!! Want to know something else? Morgan took her very first sewing classes in the basement of Harper’s in 4th grade and Harper’s was Morgan’s mother’s first job! Harper’s was also located just a mile away from where Carrie grew up and she can still remember going there with her mom and sister as a kid! Talk about sentimental!

Needless to say, if you are local, we would love for every single one of our friends and readers to stop by and say hello and get the first glimpse at our Cream & Sugar collection! We’ll happily be rambling on about how much we love everything tea-related and can tell you all the details of each and every pattern creation!

This Friday, April 5th from 12pm-2pm

Harper’s Fabric & Quilt Co. , 7918 Santa Fe Drive, Overland Park, KS 66204.

Biggest thanks to Elaine and everyone at Harper’s for having us!

It will also be carried in many online fabric retailers like Bloomerie and Hawthorne Threads, so keep an eye out in the next couple weeks and let the ordering begin! We’ll be sharing some of our favorite projects as we are making them! Let the crafting begin! YAY! (clink, clink…cheers) – Morgan & Carrie
