January 7, 2011 Hi all! I hope your New Year has started out well. I'm already a day late! Not bad for just a week! LOL We are getting ready for our FIRST SECOND SATURDAY of 2011. Tomorrow at 9 a.m., I'll formally introduce the new program. All are welcome. Even if you don't think you'll do the entire year, you might enjoy seeing how the 4-PATCH STACK technique works. That's what I'll be demonstrating. And its FREE to attend.
I've been having lots of fun playing with 4 PATCH stacks. I'm making samples for 2011 SECOND SATURDAY quilts, and hope you'll have as much fun as I'm having when you sign up for our monthly block kits. This year we're offering 3 different colorways. Each colorway has several options offered to create unique BLOCK CENTERS. To create the 4-patch units, you need 4 repeats of the fabric. We've split a 3 yard length of a FABULOUS PRINT, down the center, so it measures approx. 22" x 108". This will give you at least 4 repeats of the pattern, which when carefully stacked, allows you to cut 4 identical squares, producing a fun, simple kaleidoscope effect when sewn together.
We'll use these 4-patch units for the centers of the sampler blocks and the setting squares. You get to choose the finished project, selecting from queen-size quilt to table runners. Lots of options, all skillfully laid out in the book KALEIDOSCOPE SYMPHONY, which will be our text for the year. See below for more details on attending or receiving monthly in the mail. SECOND SATURDAY starts Jan 8th, 9:00 a.m. - 12 sampler blocks. $5 each month, or FREE in the shop if you show us the previous month's block made from our kit by 9 a.m. on the next 2nd Sat. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=25551
I think that VALENTINE'S DAY can be just as sweet and maybe just as tricky! (How many relationships have you been in? LOL) We have a great selection of fabrics & patterns to get you started on projects. We're trying to keep track of them in our newest LOVE & VALENTINES department. So check it out for yourself. http://www.sewnatural.com/nl.asp?p=0&c=433 Mary pulled together another kit using Jeri Kelly's WITH LOVE, that will sit on your table in a stand or without, on a wall, or make a cute pillow top!
