Hi Stitchers and Friends . . . here are the Saturday Sampler Blocks for June. The watermelon color way,

the victorian color way. . .

and the "celebrate life" quilt.

Lovely Little Ladies

We have such a good time in our children's sewing classes. It is simply amazing what they are able to accomplish and how quickly they learn. Here is one class showing off their first quilts!

And our cute little Miss Sing is color coordinated to match her quilt! It just doesn't get any better than this!

May Saturday Sampler

It's May and we had snow today!!! Lots of wet, wet, wet snow. The trees were gorgeous. If flooding wasn't such an issue we could be thankful as everything is going to be green, green green.

Our blocks are very pretty this month. First the victorian color way. . .

And the watermelon colors . . .

And Celebrate Life.

Have an enjoyable time stitching, all the blocks are quite easy and it is fun watching the quilt develop. Here's looking forward to warmer (and drier) weather! Hope to see you soon.

Calling All Quilters

All of you who have made beatiful quilts and shared them with us at Valley Fabric, it's time to share them with others. "Quilting on the Green" is a great local opportunity to learn new skills, earn a little $$$ for showing your quilts, and having a lovely time with other quilters. Please think about entering your quilts. The event takes place at the Expedition Island Pavilion in Green River, Wy. from June 2- June 4, 2011.

Information is available at Valley Fabric Shop, quilts must be registered by May 27, and then you might be on your way to cash prizes, a new sewing machine, and other goodies. IT is a fun weekend and promotes quilting in our area. Spend a little time attending the show, enjoying the vendors, and taking some classes. Please support those who have worked so hard to provide this opportunity.

April Saturday Sampler AGAIN!

Here are the April blocks again, maybe this time things will work correctly. Don't know what happened, if it wasn't obvious before you now know the lack of tech expertise around here. But we'll keep trying! Thanks for being patient with us. Have a wonderful rainy (?) weekend.

Celebration!

Following Saturday Sampler we had a grand time celebrating the publication of a Summer Breeze in the April 2011 edition of Quilter's World magazine. We loved designing the quilt and have stitched another color combination since the magazine debuted. Thanks to our lovely quilting friends who joined us to party! We sewed, ate, and had some fun with door prizes. One of life's lovely charms . . . quilting with friends.

We had local quilters, those from out of town, and out of state. We will do this again as it was such fun. Thanks to everyone who participated.

April Saturday Sampler

If you'd like a peek at the Saturday Sampler blocks for April . . . here they are. The victorian,

the watermelon quilt . . .

. . . and Celebrate Life.

We also showed Nancy Halvorsen's new fabric line today, Jingle All the Way. She just keeps creating gorgeous prints, the tone-on-tone prints are luscious. They are created to coordinate with a Christmas panel, but after looking at them we think they will work for spring, summer, and our watermelon quilt! We have the entire line.
