Dear Friends,


Can you imagine being a Quilters Corner neighbor? I figure, last week you would have been rolling your eyes as you watched me, if you were… My youngest wanted photos for our social media, so I headed outside with a little pile of baskets, quilts, fabric, and four pins (you would think I didn’t know where to find a box of pins…). The sunny day made for a great picture of the new baskets sitting on the front bench, on an antique quilt. Next, I headed to the fence in the back. The grass was wet, so I draped quilts over my shoulder, and then began trying to pin others to the fence. Of course, as soon as I started the maneuver, a stiff breeze came up. I’d try to pin a quilt, the breeze would start, the pins would fall, and I would start crawling around looking for them while holding the quilts above my head to keep them dry. I now know pins in the grass are the same as a needle in a haystack!


Wishing you a week of interesting neighbors and lots of laughs,

Mary Beth 

This Saturday (4-15-23) those in our applique Saturday Sampler program will meet at 9:00am. We will share shop news, and additional applique tips, while introducing the next block in the series. I had fun working on the drawing for this month. It required a stop at Trax to photograph some spring blooms - I wonder how many people “have to” visit a nursery as part of their job?!

Passport Premiere Party

Saturday ~ April 15th 


I know, how could you forget about the passport premiere when I keep mentioning it… I swear this is the last time I will tell you the passports for the June 19th to 24th event first go on sale this Saturday. Purchase yours at Quilters Corner this Saturday (they are $5.00 each) and receive a free “wordy” fat quarter as our thank you. Yes, if you can’t make it in on Saturday there should still be event passports available for purchase after this weekend for the eight stop hop.   

I can’t wait for you to see Marcia Derse’s newest fabric group. Spotted Graffiti features bold specks of color on brilliant backgrounds. From deep raspberry, to vibrant red, orange, blue, green and gray, the palette is incredibly inspiring. Add the patterns offered free for the collection on Windham’s website (Pick Up Sticks and Rainbow) and you will be ready to stitch in no time! Fabric $13.70 per yard

In this class Kathie will share her proven, totally “by machine” method. You will be as impressed with your results as judges have been when they looked at Kathie’s work! You will need to bring a small quilted piece to class so you can work the binding steps during the session.
