Fall Events

Well, since I last wrote here, the building repairs on the interior of the building have finally begun. I am happy to say that my office is usable again, which also means that the gallery space will soon be cleared and ready for an exhibit. I am hoping that many of you art quilt explorers will bring Landscape pieces to the reveal on Tuesday evening the 13th. Please let us know if you are attending.

Tomorrow (Sat, 9/10/11 all day) we are having a sew in to make pillowcases for local flood victims. Come on down and join the fun for a good cause, bring a beginning sewer to learn how to make a three seam project, or take the opportunity to clean out your stash by making a few cases and dropping them off to us. If you know someone and wish to make and give a case directly to them, Just let us know so we can update the count. Small acts of kindness make a big difference when the world dumps too much rain on your home.

Our fall schedule is getting filled, new project workshops have been listed, and we are proud to introduce a beginner or refresher quilt making course called Let's Get Started! Based on a Bonnie Hunter pattern, and using "Green" fabric choices, this is designed to help you learn and/or review many of the basics, from good cutting and accurate seam allowances, to working with triangles, and yes even binding, this is a step by step exploration that turns into a twin size quilt. See the tab for lots more information. I have been having a great time with this pattern, and can see that I will be making more of these in lots of different color combinations.

We have some good project workshops too, the Holiday Cardinal wall hanging that was so much fun last year it is being reprised for this season in case you missed it, We have a fall themed sweatshirt jacket, and a fabric book cover that can be adapted to so many gift occasions you will want to whip up a dozen! We have a few more possible projects, but I will have to wait to tell you more until we have dates set. Bookmark this site, find us on Facebook, or subscribe so you wont miss a single announcement, and tell your friends to do it too. Join us for some great projects- you'll be glad you did!!
