Our Art & Landscape Group has been hard at work the last few months working on a "bird" challenge. Participants were encouraged to create a work of art that included a bird somehow. Please come on in to the shop from Friday, April 26 - May 4 to vote for your favorite piece. Blocks Without Borders has the honor of displaying these challenge projects, along with other bird related quilts they have created at the Cortez Cultural Center during the annual Ute Mountain Mesa Verde Birding Festival. |

One look at these wonderful horse prints, and you’ll come to the same conclusion we did… they were Born to Run! These horses are beautifully painted and the feeling of movement is extraordinary. In addition to the panel, there is an allover horse print, a unique stripe and an assortment of western style prints that ties the entire group together. The perfect collection for horse lovers, ranchers or anyone who appreciates truly beautiful equine art |
We created this tote bag and wall hanging as our shop samples....there are tons of possibilities for this collection. Don't wait too long to come see these - we were selling this fabric out of the box as we were trying to get it checked in! |
