Visit us at the Quilt Show

We will be closing early this afternoon, and be closed tomorrow, Sat Oct 8, but don't worry, nothing is wrong. We will simply be vending at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show. A little bird has told me that it is a great show!! Our booth will have some exciting new things so when you are done checking out the exhibited quilts you can come by and get even more inspiration. I will be doing some small demos throughout the show to introduce you to some of my favorite new products. Inktense pencils, a watercolor pencil that dries permanent on fabric, Razzle threads, a rayon perle thread for hand work, couching and bobbin work, and Tutti, a 50 weight cotton variegated machine thread. I will also be unveiling the Block of the Month that will start in January. It is an exclusive design, available only through this program, and you will love it.






We have several events next week at the shoppe that I need to remind you of also, Wednesday is the Cardinal workshop. This pieced and fused bird makes a holiday pillow or wall hanging that you can leave in view all winter. Please let us know asap if you are planning on attending, we need two more students to run this workshop, that we brought back by request. If you missed it last year and asked us about it, don't miss it again, this will be the last chance.


On Thursday, the classroom will be in use by the Quilters of the bicentennial quilt, as we trim, sash and begin to assemble the picture blocks.


On Friday, the falling leaves sweatshirt jacket workshop begins. We will custom make our leaves using Paintstiks, stencils and rubbing plates in this first part of the project. Be sure to check the supply list so that you have all that you need, as there are a few unusual supplies for a sewing class.


Have a wonderful Holiday Weekend and I'll see you at the show!!!
