Turkey Day and Crazy Quilting



Can you believe that Thanksgiving is nearly here? The shoppe will be closed Thursday- Saturday for the holiday. ( Nov 24-26 ) We will be working on the Bicentennial Quilt on Tuesday and Wednesday. The photo is the block for St Paul's Church. We will be getting the blocks set and the borders put on, all the blocks are done, I will post a new photo or two each week so you can see.


Tomorrow is the Crazy Quilt Meeting and holiday Tea. This has become an annual event for this fun group. If you have been curious about Crazy Quilts or embellishments and have not been able to attend the Saturday meetings of this group, we have a starter workshop for Crazy Quilts on the schedule. It is two sessions, Nov 30 & Dec 7, from 1-4. We even have a limited number of starter kits available. Crazy quilts are wonderful ways to save mementos, ephemera and even photos in a way that keeps them in view, enjoyed and out from under the bed. Crazy quilting can compliment the nostalgia of the holiday season perfectly, and many consider the hand work a wonderful antidote to the hectic shopping and preparations that can take over our lives. Join us for a quilting adventure you will love!! See the workshops tab for a supply list and more info.
