February Saturday Sampler

We had a grand time today with our favorite Saturday ladies. Thank you all for coming! Here are photos of this month's blocks. First the blue color way. . .

. . . and the neutrals . We also introduced kits and patterns for assembling these blocks into a gorgeous. . . "ahem . . . did I say GORGEOUS" . . . log cabin pattern. Those are available now for those who want to get a headstart on putting the quilt together.

Here is a peek at the Patriotic Block, it is block #7 in the pattern, don't forget to make three!

And the block for the "Let it Snow" quilt. The buttons can be added after quilting. . . or before if you don't want to lose them!!!

New Fabric

You will love these new luscious Stonehenge fabrics . . . The colors and textures are simply delicious. You have to see them in person and touch them to appreciate their versatility.

And also new. . . from Riley Blake. . . Feeling Groovey. The colors are crisp and clean and very pretty. We've saving some for you!

Saturday Sampler 2012

We are amazed to start our 11th year of Saturday Sampler classes! This year we have four different quilts to choose from, something for everyone. The first quilt is a patriotic sampler, the blocks are small, 6" or less. You will need to purchaset the pattern for this quilt and some background fabric. The blocks will be only $4.00 a month!

Of course we must do an applique quilt. This charming fellow will star in our snowman quilt, a winter version, not Christmas. Can't wait to share the rest of the blocks with you. . . . all things snowmanny! $12.00 to begin and 7:00 for the remaining eleven months if you have to miss a class.

We have chosen to do the pieced quilt in two color versions. The first is blues and white (well . . . off whites actually). The first month is $12.00 and then $7:00 if you miss a class.

The photo does not do the justice to the colors in this gorgeous neutral version. They are breathtaking and will go with so many different home dec colors and styles.

We love all the lovely ladies and friends we have made through the years. Some of them enjoying a visit before class begins.

Hope to see you next month if you missed January. Happy stitching!

Celebrate Life Quilt

Here are two different color ways for assembling your Celebrate Life quilt. Both are charming. . . one uses green sashing and no topper, the other uses red sashing and a floral topper. Each has a different colored border. Come on in and we'll be happy to help you select your choice of finishing fabrics. Thanks for sharing this project with us . . . it has been a great year!

December Saturday Sampler FUN!

The Friends block and the bird block are the last two units to finish the Celebrate Life quilt. Both represent joyful gifts to all.

Here is the Victorian December block. . .

. . . and here is a sample layout of the quilt with the finishing kit blocks. (This shows only some of the finished blocks.) The first block on the second row is the December pattern. The layout gives you an idea of the fabulous quilt you will have when finished. WE LOVE IT!

Here is another beautiful way to put your blocks together, using the Circle of Nine pattern from the book by that same name. It is gorgeous and using a very simple setting, makes a dramatic looking quilt.

OOPS! It's Finally August!

We are posting August photos a bit late, sorry for the delay and thanks to Carla for bringing it to our attention. We are moving right along with our blocks, we'll be finishing these quilts soon. Very exciting. The watermelon blocks are delightful . . .

The Victorian blocks are lovely . . .

And freedom is for all, especially those making the Celebrate Life quilt. Hope to see you soon!
