PARTY TIME!!!!

It's our Birthday Month and, we are having a party all APRIL long.

We have been around for 50 years!

We are doing so many things it's hard to count them all...1.2.3.3.7..6. See I can't even count right, I'm so excited.

We are going to be giving away a SEWING MACHINE, yes a MACHINE!

The lucky winner will be taking home a New BABY LOCK ELIZABETH. This is such a sweet machine, it has a ton of stitches, lettering, a CUTTER .....

It also comes with a Walking foot, Darning, an Adjustable Zipper foot for those cording projects, not to mention all the everyday features like the blind hem, buttonhole, and overcasting stitches, plus

a decorative foot for those who satin stitch out there.

OH, and it comes with a hard shell so when you come to classes you can travel with no worries.

I really could go on and on about this one, it's a GREAT machine.

We are doing Demos EVERY WEEKDAY

@ 11am-2pm and 5pm.

Each week we will be showing you something new!

United Notions and MODA are participating in a challenge to piece, quilt and bind 100 quilts in 100 days using the Flag of Valor pattern. They need 1800 blocks. You can read all the details and get the pattern at this site:

http://modafabrics.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-one-star.html

We have printed copies of the information for you to pick up in the store which of course includes the block pattern details. We will collect blocks and mail them to Moda for you. We will also have a brown Pigma pen available for you to use to sign your block.

We would like the blocks by April 25th so we can get them to Moda by the first of May. I think the sewers in Utah could easily supply all 1800! Are you up for it!?!

It had been some time since I sewed a star block and a 2 inch square seemed really, really small to me. I got out one of my tools to help...

Not an especially good picture but it made a difference in my blocks. I also found that starch helped as well.

2011 Block Party

Busy, Busy, Busy!

You would think we had been snowed in for all the new quilts that are hanging in the shop! Heather sewed her first Buggy Barn pattern in this nautical line. It turned out so very cute and would look darling on a little boy's bed!

And Gaye put together this darling baby quilt using happy 30's prints. She did the embroidered blocks on the Elegante but they could also be done on Sophia2. They really make this quilt charming and I especially like the way the design includes the blanket stitching to frame each picture!
