| Greetings!
Go Team USA! While we are enjoying the Vancouver Olympics, held just north of us, we've just wrapped up our Janunary quilt shop event, the Winter Winds Shop Hop, and are working hard, preparing for another, the Sewing and Stitchery Expo in Puyallup, Washington. Scroll down for details on this great event.
Geri has been busy purchasing gorgeous new batiks and spring designs and our Pine Cones have created beautiful fabric bundles and projects for the show. Our current unusually mild winter has us all excited about warming days and blooming daffodils.

| | News Alert! Gee's Bend patterns ARE coming! First they were coming and then they weren't. But, Geri was determined, and now we are happy to report we will have them in the store soon.
The interest in using solid colored fabrics, from custom hand dyed to production dyed has increased in the quilting world. We strongly recommend that if you are using hand dyed fabrics, such as the Gee's Bend solids, that you use a product such as "Retayne," a color fixative for dyed cotton fabrics.
| Mystery Quilt of Olympic Proportions
 Our newest Mystery Quilt event is off and running! The fabrics have arrived, and kits are in the mail. There is still plenty of time to join in the fun of our Mystery Quilt adventure!
To join, choose from the two fabric design options we've selected and coordinated for you, or select your own fabric. Either way, the mystery unfolds with each new instruction "clue" as your mystery quilt comes together! We just started on Clue #2 and the buzz is on. We throw a party for "show and tell" after we've sent all the clues and given you time to complete your quilts. We will share the glorious results with all on our blog. Come and take part. Join the fun!
| We're blogging!  You can now follow us on our blog, The Pine Needle Blog. Through our blog we hope to keep you informed with what's happening at The Pine Needle and provide inspiration for your quilting adventures.
