 Its official, the ribbon has been cut!

 We have a winner!! What a great basket from our friends at Eco Green Crafts!

The store buzzed all night with laughter and groups of excited shoppers! Special thanks to the ladies of the Southwest Florida Quilters' Guild for making the trip over on this special night!

Under New Ownership!

Three Crafty Ladies is now under new ownership! We are redesigning our website and setting up a convenient online store! Our hope is that no matter where you are, you can stay up to date with the new fabrics and crafts in the Sanibel shop!

Stay tuned for great new inventory arriving just as fast as our UPS man can deliver it!

If you are on the Island, don't forget to check out our weekly demo's every Tuesday, and the forever popular Make It and Take It Bead Bracelet on Thursdays (10:00-4:00)!

Mermaids!

Mermaids have come to Sanibel - at least on beautiful, colorful fabric from RJR.  Wouldn't this make adorable pillows, a girls tote back, quilt - oh, the possibilities!

We have several pieces from this wonderful collection!  Stop by and see for yourself!

We are updating our online presence to make it easier for everyone to find us, find out what is going on at Three Crafty Ladies, and to shop for our exclusive kits and patterns when you can't be on the Island with us!  Eventually this blog will be the landing page for our site and the tabs that you see on the top of this page can and will give you the information you want and need, including directions, hours, and events.


Our 'shop' tab will take you to a Three Crafty Ladies Etsy page, which is easy to search, navigate and shop for you (as well as much easier for us to update!)   Of course you can always do what so many people do - call us!!


Thank you for growing with us for so many years!  Quilt market is in 3 weeks, so we are excited to see what wonderful new fabrics will be coming to Sanibel this year!!!

It's a Wrap!

Connie has been busy creating with fabric!  You have see her beautiful, large quilts created with delicious batiks - this summer she has scaled down a bit and made some fabric baskets.  From the popular book It's a Wrap, Connie used the methods in the book paired with colorful fabrics.

Add some embellishments - Beautiful!!  They would make some beautiful holiday gifts!!

Have you started creating for the holidays?  What are you making?

Craft Challenge Winner Chosen!

We had a wonderful response to Three Crafty Ladies second annual Craft Challenge!  Lots of beautiful quilts and other projects!

We gave out challenge fabric to those interested in participating and they had a few months to create something using that fabric.  Here are some of the entries:

We had a special judge once again - the wonderful and talented Trudie - former owner of Three Crafty Ladies!!  She had a very difficult time choosing, but having to pick one winner to receive a gift certificate to the shop, her choice was....

Renee Kelley from Kentucky, for her original iris quilt.

Congratulations, Renee!  

Hoffman Challenge Results are In!

Congratulations to our very own Carol DeCesare, who has had her quilt, Damsels, chosen to tour with the Hoffman Challenge this year!

This is the second year in a row that Carol has entered a quilt in the challenge and the second year she has been selected!  Johanna had the pleasure of seeing last years' quilt at the World Quilt Show in West Palm Beach last year.  If you are traveling to Quilt Market or Festival in Houston this fall, you can see it (yes, it will be in Houston!!)  Way to go, Carol!
