Free Trunk Show - don't miss it

On May 14th, K Velis Turan will be doing a free lecture and trunk show here at the shoppe. I am so excited for you to get to see her work up close and find out more about her quilting journey. Her current work has graced the cover of Quilting Arts Magazine, and. uses Screen printing and free motion quilting, but she started in a more traditinal manner, and it promises to be an enlightening afternoon for everyone. No reservations are needed but you may want to get here early to claim a good seat.


The Crazy Quilt Tea last weekend in honor of the royal wedding was great fun. My photos of the ladies in their hats and gloves came out too dark to publish, but here is one of the wedding themed decorations that helped create a fun and festive atmosphere.


There is a workshop beginning next week that I want to remind you of. On Tuesday evening, Square Roots Handpiecing Course. There is information on both of these, including supply sheets on the workshops page of this blog. Just click on the word workshops at the top. This stunning star is being worked by hand by Connie H, in our Handstitchers Club. You will be surprised at how fast you can develop the skills to do something like this with thread, needle, scissors and fabric. Sign up for Square Roots to get started, or join our club and enrich your life with this enjoyable process.


For those of you planning to attend the Knitting with fabric strips workshop, it has been moved to June 15, 10-1 & June 29, 10-12. My apologies for the schedule change. Find a friend and sign up for this one together, you will love it and have fun too.
