February Happenings

This fabric group from Moda by Sweetwater, "Mama Said Sew", says it all...with a couple of other written word motifs these fabrics would make a pretty yummy valentine....and here's our version.  We cooked up a sweet treat for this month's pincushion - a cookie cutter base, a quilty fabric in black and white and red all over...add a bit of glue and you have it, no hot stove required!

We have a little introduction to applique class scheduled for next Saturday, and it will be an opportunity to meet the pattern designer from Primitive Patchworks as she plans to be in our area to deliver her quilts for the upcoming trunk show!  We featured pictures of her quilts in a post last month.

We are also busy working on some class ideas, and I am chatting with teachers and gathering samples and trying to nail down some dates so we'll have more things coming soon.  Until then, please take a look at our website - we've added some items to the classes and events pages as we are building in items one at a time.  If you think you'd like to join us on February 9th for a short applique lesson with Nancy Friesen, please give us a call or stop by as we only have a few spaces left.

And stay tuned....we've got a workshop in the planning stages with Mary Elizabeth Kinch http://www.maryelizabethkinch.com/ for early summer.  


Happy Stitching!
