It has been a crazy, busy, crazy summer! And all of it was a blast. CLICK HERE to check out some shots from DQYDJ's trip down to San Francisco for the Renegade Craft Fair!
*There are a few more new quilts we were showing out this summer that still need to be posted so check back next week for pics of such cleverly named quilts like "This One's Electric" and "Fuzzy Skulls" and the not so clever but straight forward "I WANNA ROCK"
**Also you can now find LUNCH B.O.B. at FIREWORKS in Seattle! YEAH! It is a great store with five Seattle locations, check out the FIND US HERE page for store locations.
We are gearing up for the Christmas season already but feel free to contact us for custom orders!
