Spring Clearance

This past week was really busy and I am actually looking foward to a rainy weekend so I don't have to feel guilty for staying in and quilting. I might even get a pillowcase or two made for the million pillowcase challenge. I have a mess of fabrics in my stash at home that I know I will not use and someone will love them as pillowcases. There are a few new patterns at www.allpeoplequilt.com to try out too.

The Crazy Quilt Club will meet this coming Saturday March 20, yes, a week early. They will be starting a small amulet purse, just right to hold a special thimble. The concentration will be on the beaded fringe. Email us for a supply list.

Also this Saturday is the Spring Clearance Event. Select fabrics are marked down to $5.00 per yard (from as high as 9.50.) These include shirtings, reproductions, florals, and even a stripe or two. After this weekend, they will be gone and so will this super deal. Don't miss out.

Before I finish I want to remind you of two super workshops that are coming soon, New York Beauty, and Shoe Fly Pie. Diane Johnson is teaching both, and they both offer tips and shortcuts to make the projects both quicker and more accurate. New Your Beauty is done with a pre printed muslin foundation that stabilizes the bias making the skinny points and curves in this block much easier. The Shoe Fly Pie uses Thangles to create the half square triangle units for both blocks and border. Whichever project you choose to do first, you will be glad that you are quilting now, and not relying on cereal box templates like our fore mothers had to do. Check our website or visit for more info on the workshops, the notions they use, or even just for some inspiration. Happy St Patrick's Day, and Happy Spring!!!
