On Saturday morning (10-1-22) those registered for our beginning of the month sampler program will meet at 9:00am. There’s lots to share this time. There will be the kit for the this month and directions for the piece, but also directions for a bonus block this time. Your blocks are coming along so well, I can’t wait to see your newest ones! (Remember to bring your completed block from last month so your new kit is free - if you can not make the session, or do not have the block completed, your kit is just $5.00 plus tax.)

QC Block-of-the-Month Show and Tell!

Sunday ~ October 16th ~ 1:00pm

A quick reminder - you are invited to the first block-of-the-month show and tell we have had in three years! We can’t wait to see what you have created! You could bring things like your QC Summer Samplers, or QC Holiday Block Box pieces, or your Border Creek Mystery, or your Saturday Samplers, or the stand alone projects we have done month by month, or… Please keep in mind, you must pre-register so we have a seat and a little gift ready for you! See you on the 16th?!

I love the seasonal groups being created by In the Beginning Fabrics. I’m fairly certain I shared the fall version several weeks ago. Because of the way shipping is at the moment, the winter version has just arrived, too! Once again, a panel and a stripe print are complemented by smaller scale coordinates. The blue, green, red and white prints are just as upscale as the first two groups, but now feature a bit of whimsy, as well. Cheerful, sweet, frosty snowmen gaze between the collection’s snowflakes - they managed to put a smile on my face today! You will also find another new pattern made to show off the prints. The included wall hanging, table runner and pillow designs are next up at my sewing machine - I can’t wait to start!

Fabric - prints $12.00 per yard, solid $8.25 per yard, panels $8.00 each, pattern $8.00

New class!

Scrap Sensation - Cat’s Cradle!

Friday ~ October 7th ~ 10:30am-1:30pm

The Cat’s Cradle ruler will be put to great use in Darlene’s newest class. The triangles in the striking piece are created by cutting just squares and rectangles - you’ve got to try it! During class Darlene will share tips for selecting and using scraps, as well as tips for accurately piecing, adding borders, and binding (wait till you hear her invaluable binding tip!). Just think, your scraps could look as good as hers!

Fee: $24.00 (supply list will be shared when you register)

Rotary Cutting 101

Saturday ~ October 15th ~ 1:00pm-3:00pm  

The rotary cutter may just be the most helpful quilting tool ever invented. The concept is simple - a circular blade used in combination with a cutting surface and ruler. The execution is not quite so simple! Class will cover safe usage, care for the tool, and a whole range of techniques that will make your cutting more efficient and accurate.

Fee: $15.00 (please bring to class - rotary cutter with new blade, rotary cutting mat, ruler, and 1 yard of fabric to use when practicing)
