| Start the new year
with some new adventures! I know a lot of you have been
very diligent about pulling out those UnFinished Objects
(UFOs) and getting them done, showing how economical and
frugal you can be when the economy is in a funk. Christmas
gifts this year were filled with love instead of cash,
and everyone felt the benefit of that. We applaud you
for being thrifty.
So now that that has been established, let’s think
new for the New Year. Our Thimbleberries Village Green
is great, and there’s still room for more of you
in that group. Choose from 3 color ways to satisfy your
taste in houses, trees, flowers and stars. See the sample
in magazines and on our website.
If Thimbleberries is a little tame for your taste, look
at our Angle Play. This contemporary quilt will appeal
to the younger crowd as well. We used batiks and gradients
to re-create Margaret Miller’s design, and in 7
short months, you can create your own, too. Our website
has a fairly good picture, but stop into the shop to get
the full, vibrant, affect.
Visit China with the International Mystery Quilt group
on Saturday, 16th. Pick up a kit prior to Saturday and
have it precut and ready to sew. You’ll finish your
top in a day, eat potluck lunch with a Chinese flavor
and have lots of fun. $40 for a day of fun and a quilt
top, how can you beat that?
Kathy will take paper piecers to the next level on the
27th with her Advanced Paper Piecing class 10-1. She makes
it so easy, you’ll want to expand your skill level
to Advanced with her.
Peggy Gelbrich will be teaching her Pineapple Quilt class
on Saturday, the 30th, 10-4. In February Peggy will also
be teaching her Dresden Plate Sampler and the Rocky Road
to Kansas pattern. Watch that calendar on the website
and plan ahead for a couple more great classes with Peggy.
February 7th, keep that day, Sports Fans, as we will
again have our SuperBowl Sunday sale! 10-3 on Sunday February
7th, with up to 60% off on selected fabrics.
New Batiks have arrived, and they are sooooo nice. Stop
in and touch!
Needing a retreat from the stress, weather or whatever?
Check out the retreats in our Retreat Central on the website.
Next up is Canby Grove, then Retreat at the Beach.
Happy Quilting, and thanks for shopping with us.
