Whooo Boy!  It's summer here!  The westcoast is suffering through an early heatwave.  I hear it's coming from the 4 corners in the US.  I've been there and it was no where near this hot!!  And yes, there is a photo of me with one appendage in each of the 4 states.... Really, how you could NOT take that photo if you go all the way there?!

Happy Canada Day on July 1 and Happy Independence Day on July 4th!  That sounds like an good excuse for a sale!

 
Scroll down to the What's on Sale block or see the Special Offers list here.  You won't see the sale prices till the item is in you shopping cart.

By now I guess you've noticed we have new stamps! (They are all mounted with foam and cling.)

Have you been following the Quietfire Creations blog to see the awesome artwork the Design Team is creating?

The Hug Book
Cover decoration by Teresa Horner

What is a Hug Book?
It's a book you receive from someone that seems to give you a little hug every time you open it! 
  I saw these blank books at CHA and was immediately drawn to the potential in them! The great thing is you can create a beautiful little book in minutes and there are no bookbinding skills required!

You can find our blank Hug Books on the website here. They are available in two colours.



Read more about using Hug Books here.

Learn more about this beautiful Hug Book cover that Teresa made to share with us here. 
 Here are some of the Hug Book pages we've created so far.  Just click on the image to see more details.

Join Me if you're in the Denman Island area in October!
 



I'll be teaching the Criss-Cross Coptic Binding Hardcover Journal workshop.
  The annual Creative Threads Conspiracy weekend is on and I've been invited to teach.  There is lots more than fibre arts happening (bookbinding being a case in point... I suppose it is specialized stitching!).  Here is a link to my workshop description, but scroll around.  I'm loving the little felted critters...!
 
 

Here is a map showing where Denman Island is located.  It has a reputation as an arts community.  It's a piddly short ferry ride from near me on Vancouver Island.  (north of Seattle!)  Gorgeous!
