Sorry I missed my deadline for the newsletter last week!  Life seems to be moving so fast and my laptop wasn't!  It was slower than slow, and I finally gave up and took it to an expert.  Happily, it is now behaving much better!  Yea!

Benartex - Word Play - Patchwords with Dots on BrownSpeaking of FAST, there is so much new fabric in the store.  Lots moving out too.  We haven't managed to keep up on the web site, but Lily & Trenna are working on that.  

Just to name a few, NEW FABRIC LINES include:

 

 

 

 

These are 3 of the beautiful ART GALLERY - Floral Elements from Pat Bravo, which would make a gorgeous quilt all on their own, but also blend with lots of other groups!

We've been cutting kits like crazy, as well as cutting fabric for some of the upcoming FALL CLASSES.  The "repeat students", are always so excited and anxious to get started even before the class does, and it get's us looking at new combinations of fabric as well.  

In September we are  starting several new BLOCK-A-MONTH quilts, some meet monthly, and/or have kits available that can be picked up or mailed.  

 These include 

This year we have a BONUS for you!  Two classes are actually being covered in the same 60 minutes.  There is just one class fee ($48).  You choose which project(s) you work on, and materials are extra.  

My AMERICAN BEAUTY SAMPLER quilt is made using Marti Michell's WILD ROSE fabric from Maywood Studios.  Marti has a black version and a white version.  I have created my own unique version combining white on the inside and black on the outside.  I did the sashing & setting slightly different and it comes out a bit larger.  

You can choose from these kits or if taking the class, you can select your very own fabrics, we'll help, of course!  The "beauty" of this class, is that all the fabrics don't have to be purchased at once.  You can spread it out over the year.  :)  

American Beauty Sampler Quilt CLASS - 3rd Thursdays, 10 - 11 a.m., 7 - 8 p.m. Starts September 16th - $48 plus materials, through Aug. 2011

You will learn more than you think there is to know about accurate cutting, the first step to accurate patchwork.

EGG MONEY SAMPLER quilt is an Eleanor Burns, Quilt In A Day book, which recently ran as a series on television.   See a sample in the store now.  Make your own quilt using traditional 1930s reproduction fabrics or make it more contemporary with brighter, cleaner colors or make it "dark & dirty".  It will be charming in any style and we're here to help you with fabric selections.  The design is flexible enough that you can make it large bed-size or small baby-quilt size. 

Egg Money Sampler Quilt CLASS- 4th Thursdays, 10 a.m., 7 p.m. $48 plus $19.99/month. Starts September 23rd, through Aug. 2011

KALEIDOSCOPE SAMPLER QUILT kits coming soon - Pick-up starts September 2010.  Kits will be available to be picked up in the store, or we can mail to you.  

This quilt starts with LUNA NOTTE from MODA, a LARGE FEATURE PRINT for the block centers & outer border.  The blocks are 4-PATCH KALEIDOSCOPE technique.  Very addictive!  The instructions are included in a FABULOUS book.  Lots of detailed instructions & illustrations.  

The kits will include enough fabric for a QUEEN-SIZE quilt OR a LARGE THROW and several smaller projects.  The sampler blocks use several different size squares, so there is little waste of the large print.
