Sale! Sale! Sale!

Join us this week for our New Year's Sale. We have 20% off all bolted fabric with other in-store specials on New Year's Day. Speaking of The first day of 2010, we'll be open from 10:00 until 3:00, so leave your hubby watching the game and come on in for some fun.

We also have a new class schedule and it's time to sign up and hold your place. All the new class samples will be hanging by Jan 15.

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas and look forward to a new year. You know you're a true quilter when you don't make resolutions, but choose new quilt patterns and fabrics instead! That is way more fun! Come on in and enjoy some of our ideas for the coming year.

We'll start our Saturday Sampler (again) on the second Saturday in January. You may come for the 8:00, 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. session. You'll love our new ideas. . . quite different! You pay $6.00 or $10.oo depending on your quilt choice and listen to our short class. It is actually quite a bargain as we teach lots of quilting techniques. Make your block at home and return with the completed block the next month and you receive the next block free. Lots of fun and you will also enjoy spending time with so many nice ladies. See you soon!

Potholders!

Make these delightful potholders in great new patterns and colors. We used fabrics from Authentic and Astor Manor, both from Moda. The patterns are from Cotton Way. Everyone can use a new potholder. . .(not those old things we all have in the drawer!) and what a great gift idea.

Take a class!

We are offering a class for making potholders on Monday, November 30, at 6:00 p.m. These are addicitive and are one of those "old that is new again" patterns. Come to the class and visit while you stitch. We always seem to find some chocolate thrown in there somewhere which just adds to the pleasure.

In the meantime we wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving !

Great New Bags and Fabric

We LOVE this new bag pattern from Thankfully Sew. It is easy to make, versatile and the name implies it all. . . "IT'S ALL ABOUT ME". What a great way to show someone it is all about them!

And how about a darling little doll carrier that will make someone smile big. Great for a Christmas gift or birthday. Ours is made using the newest Me and My Sister line from Moda.

Another great new bag, the handles are made from leather and ready to attach. The are very pretty, we love the flower petals on the ends.

These new bolts are from Riley Blake , they are toooooooo cute. Perfect for a little cowgirl, or a big one, these will be a hit for clothes, bags and quilts.

Thanks!

Wanna talk turkey? Seems early doesn't it . . . but start stitching now and be ready for the month of Thanksgiving. We love this season of the year, a time to count blessings and remember all the good things of life. The dimensional turkey makes one smile and he is very easy to "stuff". The wall hanging sets the mood for a season of celebrating. We love these smaller quilts and projects that add to the festivities and make a home feel so cozy. We have patterns and kits. Hope to see you soon!

Ready for Halloween!

All dressed and ready for Halloween! Is this just toooo cute? Diana made an outfit for her American Girl doll, check out the trick-or-treat bag in her hand. The pattern comes from Little Sassy Skirts. . . make one for a special little girl in your life, and for her doll! The black scarf adds a nice finishing touch. Diana is a wonder at doll clothes and anything Dolly. We love it when she shares her talents with us.

Take a Class

We are excited to be offering a class using Eleanor Burn's new pattern, Day & Night. Join us October 24, at 9:00 a.m. for a fun day and learn this very "do-able" technique. It is strip piecing if you can believe that! Eleanor is the queen of simplicity, making it simple to understand and simple to stitch. Lisa, one of our lovely Kemmerer ladies, will teach the class. She also has a little surprise in store for the last hour of the day, so bring a fat quarter in a color you like. Please call ahead and register as space is limited. We usually serve lunch and have a grand time.

I guess we can officially say that fall is here.............everyone is scrambling to get out the warm clothes as it turned cold so quickly. . . like we didn't know it was coming! But we can always hope for a nice long Indian Summer. There are many things to love about this time of year; apples, gorgeous leaves, pumpkins, football, and cozy quilts to warm our hearts and our toes. Now that doesn't sound like anything to complain about!

Hope to see you soon, in the meantime have a great weekend.

We missed you!

If you were in attendance at our Fabric Fashion Show this evening. . . we thank you! If you missed out on the fun maybe you can join us next time. It was very entertaining to watch our professsional models (?) who did a great job of showing new bags, aprons, quilts, and lots of the goodies from The Bokay. They jetted into Carter International Airport. . . ahem. . . and gave us quite a show! We are sad because during all the excitement we FORGOT to take pictures. We promise to do better next time. . . that is, IF we remember!! Again, thanks to all our friends in attendance, you are the best. If you weren't there, visit the store and ask about the new samples and those things shown "on the runway". See you soon!

Learn to make a simple, quick and cuddly baby quilt using a "sew and flip" technique. Sew the pieces together using this method and you have the quilting done also! Class Sat. Sept 26, 9:00 a.m.

Bag of the Month

Join us on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 6:00 p.m. and make this versatile and charming bag. These classes are such fun, everyone uses different fabrics and it's great to see all the finished projects!

This fast and furious runner is great a "quilt as you go" project. We love the rich fall colors. Join us for class on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 9:00 a.m.

It was a great Saturday Sampler Day at the shop today. We LOVE our Saturday ladies, many have supported us faithfully for the 7 years we have been doing our sampler quilts. Their creativity is amazing and all are so willing to share. Thanks to each of you for coming!

You should see all the new minkee colors and textures. The picture doesn't do them justice, but gives you a little sample. They are so soft and make the most darling quilts! Like these! . . . or ahem. . . those above!

A New Beginning

Here we are, a new beginning! Trying to keep up with technology as well as all things "quilting" is a big job. Small steps lead us on great journeys . . . and this is a first new small step for our business. . . becoming a part of the blogging world. We hope you will stay with us as we learn and share our passion for quilting in this "new to us" format.
We are looking forward to our Fall Frenzy Sale, Thursday, September 17-19. On Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. we are presenting a Fabric Fashion Show. Bobbi has been in CREATIVE MODE and we are doing something we've never done before. We have lots of new ideas, patterns, and quilts to share and hope you'll love the METHOD of sharing. So mark your calendar for Sept. 17 and join us! OH....and all bolted fabric will be 20% off.
