This past week, we were honored to have Kaffe Fassett and his design partner Brandon Mably visit The Rabbit's Lair! <br />
<br />
Prior to an inspirational trunk show by Kaffe on Monday night, Brandon conducted a knitting workshop called "Concentrate on Color". <br />

Class members enjoyed Brandon's input on their color selections and knitting expertise.</div>

The same pattern can look so different, depending on color placement!<br />

The next day, it was time for Kaffe's class on the Bordered Diamond Quilt. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The focus of the class was on color placement, not on sewing technique. <br />

Individual attention was key -- class size was kept to a size that would allow that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For a variety of reasons, posting new blogs fell off our radar! But, we're re-committing to using this wonderful method of bringing you pictures and information about the shop. We know Facebook is also a great way to do this, but our blog can give a more in-depth look at the shop. So, don't give up on us yet!<br />
<br />
We recently moved the yarn from upstairs to downstairs, and then mixed it into the fabric area. The colors and textures look great all together -- and we're all happy!<br />

The New Year was off to a great start! We've been so busy settling in to the new space, enjoying it and sharing it with others -- our Blog got neglected. We've recommitted to updating it every week and hope to give you new ideas and inspiration! <br />

<br />
Our big news for the start of the year is that we will be one of 11 featured shops in <i>Quilt Sampler </i>Spring/Summer 2013 issue! It will be available on the newsstands around May 9, or you may preorder a copy of it on our website <a href="http://www.therabbitslair.com/products/quilt-sampler-springsummer-2013/">Here</a>. <br />
<br />
Each shop has an original quilt design in the magazine, and our quilt was designed by Candy Hargrove and uses all Jo Morton fabrics by Andover. The simply pieced blocks are border with an applique vine and berries, and, of course, a rabbit! <br />

We are taking preorders for this beauty with a deposit; kits will be shipped as soon as we can after the magazine is received. The 70" x 70" quilt is the perfect size for a wall or throw. Preorder the kit now <a href="http://www.therabbitslair.com/products/road-arkansas-quilt/">Here</a>. <br />

Spring is FINALLY arriving in NW Arkansas. That means everyone will be venturing out and starting to travel! What better way than to join in a shop hop. This weekend is time for our annual "Spring Fling Shop Hop" -- We hope to see you soon!<br />

Five years ago, we bought The Rabbit's Lair. It was a wonderful shop next to the building we owned that housed Poor Richard's Art. That was the start of our adventure!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYV-7V9Ey2VBKosXzwasmhgzr_WbC3Db41RPp06s2ln8sMS4IPvLFN7FldjxvEojPBSzf0WwhkL8O_wOiSiT604xYx_4rKZvlG9GXbtUJjuoxt0sZf4Wvub4shwVsxqWgIGq73xG82OUr/s1600/poorRichardsArt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIYV-7V9Ey2VBKosXzwasmhgzr_WbC3Db41RPp06s2ln8sMS4IPvLFN7FldjxvEojPBSzf0WwhkL8O_wOiSiT604xYx_4rKZvlG9GXbtUJjuoxt0sZf4Wvub4shwVsxqWgIGq73xG82OUr/s1600/poorRichardsArt.jpg" /></a></div>
For two years, we enjoyed our home in what had been a bank -- it was cozy and charming, but we were quickly outgrowing it. We needed more space for classrooms and fabric. Committed to remaining in downtown historic Rogers, we moved around the corner on Walnut. This shop had all the light we were missing, plus a wonderful mezzanine for class space. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUybErkUIi1sGOBR3s0S9e-CuTXPsfxVcnyuz44458vLkqrYwcRXGpoLgEdM8imRKpYG015MhYy7tLVBHIrrtZn3Gy3WdMmKHcE7FVTqf1E1fnvon3JmY2NB8Gk5Jo10jEV1WMNEzh_ct/s1600/ShopfromLoft.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUybErkUIi1sGOBR3s0S9e-CuTXPsfxVcnyuz44458vLkqrYwcRXGpoLgEdM8imRKpYG015MhYy7tLVBHIrrtZn3Gy3WdMmKHcE7FVTqf1E1fnvon3JmY2NB8Gk5Jo10jEV1WMNEzh_ct/s320/ShopfromLoft.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
We enjoyed both locations and especially enjoyed meeting all the friends we made as we learned about the wonderful world of fabric and fibers. Mary loved to embroider and create in wool, and Clarice soon found that her passion was knitting. The front of the shop became the yarn area, but it kept encroaching on the fabric space. So.... when Poor Richard's Art moved out of their space on First Street, we opened our yarn shop in February of this year and called it RL2<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The setting was perfect for all the beautiful colors of yarn -- it sparkled in the original glass cases! <br />

As much as we loved the new home for yarn, the two shops were in separate locations. So we had an inspired idea -- why not have them in the same beautiful building! We moved the yarn to a bright and airy room upstairs and brought all our fabric, wool and stitchery supplies over to the first floor.<br />
Here is a picture taken in the new yarn shop:<br />

One of them is a Folk Art Baltimore quilt -- we loved it and asked her to teach a block from it when she visits The Rabbit's Lair in July. You can see more about her Market time on her <a href="http://dawnheesequilts.blogspot.com/">Blog</a> -- we'll have info about her new patterns next weekend at "Quilt Market Bash." <br />

The class will be on Saturday, July 7 from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm -- <a href="http://www.therabbitslair.com/events/906/">Click Here</a> for details! <br />
<br />
We found a new quilt designer from Canada that uses a lot of Jo Morton fabrics in her designs -- we think some of these will make great classes, and of course, wonderful quilts! This company is Prairie Quilt Mercantile. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Also using Jo Morton fabrics in many of her designs is Clothesline Quilts. We will be receiving a trunk show of 6 quilts from the Civil War General Series next week -- Be sure and stop in to see them! Shown in "General Longstreet." <br />

If you love English Paper Piecing and simple applique, you'll love this design by Sue Daley of Patchwork with Busyfingers from Australia! "Antique Sampler" will be worth the effort, and we're working on scheduling a workshop at a later date to get you started! Here's Sue in front of her masterpiece quilt -- she says it took her only 6 weeks to complete this! <br />

Yes, it is really international, with our favorite designers from Australia and other countries in attendance. We were really excited to see what new fabrics and designs we would find, and will be able to only give a glimpse into all that is available! Keep watching for more -- here, on our <a href="http://www.therabbitslair.com/">website</a>, and on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/therabbitslair">Facebook</a> page!<br />
<br />
The day before Market begins, we attended "Schoolhouse" -- this is a time to get a preview of what is to come!<br />

It weaves together a balance of sophisticated hand-drawn patterns inspired by Japanese indigo and mid-century fine art. The palette is grounded in richly muted nature tones evoking clear night skies, deep forest and dark ocean balanced by bone ivory and oyster grays.<br /><br />Parson Gray's "Curious Nature" is being interpreted to fabric by Free Spirit in both quilting/fashion and larger prints on Home Decor weight cotton sateen.<br /><br />Come in the shop and see this wonderful collection -- Download the quilt design on Free Spirit's website by <a href="http://freespiritfabric.com/graphic-elements/gallerys/t435_1.pdf">clicking here</a>.The Rabbit's Lairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827529425641704104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226159929801704941.post-27607442527096518852012-02-06T16:47:00.001-08:002012-02-06T17:01:33.000-08:00"Bella Bliss" Is Here!Here's what Renee has to say about her newest collection to arrive in the shop:<br />"Bella Bliss is a color dream come true...the large scale floral 'mother' of the group was reproduced from a beautiful antique piece of red French bark cloth."<br />The 22-piece collection is used in another version of her "Rose Maison" pattern:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirc3L6B1o-S9araMD5euYFycqQ1KY8EtKLa8786mFmqY2mMazEMwFM_yTM6zndWXS1ZE234mEO-JpcKfxSudNxXQGlqamTQxUVRgt-_BEy6jI4Dt-kiRPDgRuH9DRQ8fStQcKz-nMrp0Bs/s1600/BellaBlissPattern1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 152px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirc3L6B1o-S9araMD5euYFycqQ1KY8EtKLa8786mFmqY2mMazEMwFM_yTM6zndWXS1ZE234mEO-JpcKfxSudNxXQGlqamTQxUVRgt-_BEy6jI4Dt-kiRPDgRuH9DRQ8fStQcKz-nMrp0Bs/s200/BellaBlissPattern1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706190439763036994" border="0" /></a><br />There are 22 pieces in this collection, and they are all used in the above pattern, along with some "Itsy Bits."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAX-ptMx9WKxQ1Q7u8XOh0CuWve8edfyrEy7dQrMDk5gzjzbDAj5T89yLR-ifQ3pZ-I35YcN96XN9bVyGWO-uIV7M0k_SfMMPdBbh9UH5Re9TR4P3g6uhAK38CcnmvINZjaIQp6Fj0lCp/s1600/BellaBlissPattern2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 102px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAX-ptMx9WKxQ1Q7u8XOh0CuWve8edfyrEy7dQrMDk5gzjzbDAj5T89yLR-ifQ3pZ-I35YcN96XN9bVyGWO-uIV7M0k_SfMMPdBbh9UH5Re9TR4P3g6uhAK38CcnmvINZjaIQp6Fj0lCp/s200/BellaBlissPattern2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706191227460933042" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJAZU7gfwmpXwNjlLnBe8VS9CnAq_nzRGzrWhyphenhyphenAWD52JV_cbFJE3XqbhQbzpGxncenz1_LXlZBjAXE9VQ-gchRQ2Z5HjjbSHzMy7dhKispmW7MpJHAO1ptBGGNhhDs8sTVkzzeB0xORJb/s1600/BellaBliss.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrJAZU7gfwmpXwNjlLnBe8VS9CnAq_nzRGzrWhyphenhyphenAWD52JV_cbFJE3XqbhQbzpGxncenz1_LXlZBjAXE9VQ-gchRQ2Z5HjjbSHzMy7dhKispmW7MpJHAO1ptBGGNhhDs8sTVkzzeB0xORJb/s200/BellaBliss.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5706191879416491394" border="0" /></a><br />I was so glad to get to see Renee at the retreat this weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks; little did I know that when I saw a stack of "Bella Bliss" it would arrive at the shop today!

Based on our first collection of 'Rouenneries,' this group of lovely prints is inspired by the red florals that were printed in Rouenneries, France, in the 18th Century. Old French red, faded cranberry and natural linen colors all make up a collection that is a perfect combination to create a French-inspired quilt."<br /><br />Whether you use only these in a quilt, or mix them with some of your favorite reds and creams, the finished quilt will be stunning!The Rabbit's Lairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827529425641704104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226159929801704941.post-76812561116950259182012-01-13T09:11:00.000-08:002012-01-13T09:25:58.643-08:00New Classes for the New Year!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWa7uvpgde52QsjOpYXFsztQmSYwWHEud1IZgj3l6KKAerfMNzbXvlrfeF07RZScUcv7EDWtArEImDZ4PGH6D1sx1lg0Licff1krU6B30uat9St1u2TwjitdkUzghUPirB-Y-I1yPHEsCi/s1600/JellyRollQuiltClass.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 196px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWa7uvpgde52QsjOpYXFsztQmSYwWHEud1IZgj3l6KKAerfMNzbXvlrfeF07RZScUcv7EDWtArEImDZ4PGH6D1sx1lg0Licff1krU6B30uat9St1u2TwjitdkUzghUPirB-Y-I1yPHEsCi/s200/JellyRollQuiltClass.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697165752519112418" border="0" /></a><br />We've added lots of new classes and clubs to the website for your enjoyment in the New Year!

Cut the yarn and knot the ends together, without removing it.<br /></span><span class="style111"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">2.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> Cut two 9" pieces of scrap yarn. Tie one piece around all strands of Link in same place as the knot. Tie the second piece around all strands of Link at the opposite end of the cowl. <br /></span><span class="style111"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;">3.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> To wear, place the cowl around your neck with one tie in the back. Loop the front half around your neck again, so that both ties are at the back.</span></p>See all the colors of Link -- http://www.berroco.com/shade_cards/link_sh.htmlThe Rabbit's Lairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827529425641704104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226159929801704941.post-23666258682096605482011-12-05T18:40:00.000-08:002011-12-05T18:45:57.608-08:00Jo's Little Women Club<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZUpiqoqim2MN0FGh73CD82m8uaN1eG7NdsdUK1DTALQmaZJVd40BaAsJfxt082L1yvX3HVgqfUOjEDjQb2BaTRjZK8D3VYL4Sfae77J0tRhrl_ZlQmwRWYHeQ09fI1doJ05bxzHJPpbO/s1600/JLWClub11.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZUpiqoqim2MN0FGh73CD82m8uaN1eG7NdsdUK1DTALQmaZJVd40BaAsJfxt082L1yvX3HVgqfUOjEDjQb2BaTRjZK8D3VYL4Sfae77J0tRhrl_ZlQmwRWYHeQ09fI1doJ05bxzHJPpbO/s200/JLWClub11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682840569836953906" border="0" /></a><br />We're in the next to the last month of our current Jo's Little Women Club. Part 10 had eight projects -- different sizes but all small quilts made in Jo Morton's fabric for Andover Fabrics. Our online club sends a pattern each month to members, and a fabric kit is available for optional purchase.<br /><br />The next group of small quilt designs will be Part 11. These patterns are available only to club members and are designed by Jo specifically for the club. We will begin Club 11 in February of 2012. <br /><br />Keep watching the website for full information!The Rabbit's Lairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17827529425641704104noreply@blogger.com0
