November "Old Glory"

OOPS!  Since this was not posted in October, here is what your completed star section should looke like.  You will add the checkerboard sashing and the half square border on the outside.  One more pieced block next month, a little sashing, and your quilt top will be finished.  Won't it be grand to pull this out for all patriotic holidays!

 

November Saturday Sampler

They say the older you get, the faster time goes. . . I hate to think how old I am!!!!!  Here it is almost Thanksgiving!  We wish you all a very happy holiday and hope you enjoy gathering with family and friends.


If you are making the "Old Glory " quilt you will complete the star portion of the quilt, including the half square sashing.  Refer to photo under October Saturday Sampler post.





Here is the neutrals block . . .




and the blues . . .

 . . . and the "Let It Snow" block.

Here is a sneak peek for those of you making the
"Let It Snow" quilt.  We have kits for the borders and words available now.  In December we'll show the last block applique and finish the applique on the borders.  Final assembly instructions are also available if you want to start your run to the finish line.  Doesn't it make you smile!

 

September Saturday Sampler Blocks

Here are the September Saturday Sampler blocks beginning with the Let It Snow block.  It's a fun little pail of snowballs, we put Warm and Natural in the kits for the snowballs!  Makes them soft and fuzzy and very touchable!









The pieced blocks require just a light and a dark this month.   The blue color way is navy
 and white . . .








The "neutrals" color way is black and cream . . .

 

. . . and the stars and strips is Block #4, you will need to make three of them.






Don't forget to sign up for our Stonehenge Event, Saturday, Sept. 29 at 9:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m.  There are still a few spaces and you will love seeing the fabulous trunk show, winning grand door prizes and learning from one of the best manufacturer's in the business.  See you there! 

Fall Frenzy

You've invited to our annual Fall Frenzy!

We are so excited to announce, and invite you to our annual Fall Frenzy, Thursday through Friday, Sept. 13-15.  We've been madly making new samples, "oohing and aahing" over new fabric, choosing new kits, and patterns, and just generally have a hard workin' good time. 

On Thursday, September 13, at 6:00 p.m. we'll have a Witch's Hat Contest and a Screamin' Dollar Days sale.  Please take a bit of time and decorate a Witch's Hat for Halloween, or actually, any other occasion and we'll show them off, give prizes and awards and have a grand time.  It doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive, just use your creativity (and we KNOW you quilters have it!) and create something that is "you".

Our Screamin' Dollar Days will have you jumping for joy.....deals on notions, tools, kits and other goodies.  We'll serve refreshments and stay open until 9:00.   We look forward to seeing you on the 13th!

August Saturday Sampler

Wow! Where has the summer gone?  Soon school will start, the days will cool (not all bad!) and the seasons will begin to change.  In the meantime we are happily stitching away on our Saturday blocks.  We have the nicest ladies who attend and we so, sew, (sorry. . . couldn't resist!) so appreciate each of you.

Here is our neutrals block . . .




 

followed by our "blues" color way . . .


 

and the Let It Snow quilt.  You can use any of the four colors in the kit for the letters of your choice.






 Lastly, "The Old Glory" project with only one block this month, not the usual three.
Don't forget to use your Easy Angle ruler, makes this tiny block a snap.

Happy stitching, and next month on Saturday Sampler weekend, we'll be having our Fall Sale and Open House.  More to come about that!
