Saturday Sampler news - lots to share today, for both our applique and pieced sampler programs! One quick note first - you may sign up for the new 2026 programs at any point, until they are full - please register soon to avoid disappointment!

QC Applique Saturday Sampler ~

Those in our current applique Saturday Sampler group will meet this Saturday, December 20th, at 9:00am. We will share the last block kit in the series, the last bonus block pattern, and setting information. Your blocks are looking wonderful - can’t wait to see what you stitched this month!

And now it’s on to ~

QC 2026 Applique Saturday Sampler!

Our 2026 applique sampler, Window Garden, featuring thirteen 8” x 14” blocks, sashing, and borders, will be worked over the course of twelve months. In each block the quilts brightly colored, imaginary flowers will sprout from a flower pot or vase. To participate you pay the registration fee now and attend the first meeting (we will share instructions and the first kit during the session) on Saturday, January 17th at 9:00am. If you return to the next meeting in February, with your block completed for show and tell, your next kit will be our gift! If you can not make a meeting, or do not have a chance to make the block, your next kit will be just $5.00 plus tax. The program is filling very quickly - please register soon.

Registration fee $10.00 (includes first block kit in the series!)

Please note - Because the holidays fill everyone's schedule for the next several weeks, we are sharing the pieced Saturday Sampler info today.

Those that meet at the end of the month for our current pieced Saturday Sampler sessions will attend at 9:00am on Saturday, December 27th. During the session we will share the last block kit in the series, and lots of information about the new program for 2026. You may want to stop in the shop before your session to get 2026 details because, sorry to say again, program spots are filling quickly.

We have information in the shop about nine different block-of-the-month programs that will start in the coming months. Stop in to get a look at what is coming and to learn details about the different programs. There are projects being offered that are very historic in nature, and those that are far more contemporary. I will try to include a little about some of the quilts in future newsletters - watch for details.

If Santa is still looking for the perfect gift for you, we have ideas! From interesting notions, to fabric, classes, and gift certificates, there are so many options. One thing Santa needs to keep in mind - we are closed both December 24th and 25th.

Our 2026 Snow Day Surprise kits premiered last week. The colorful kits include fabrics for the top and binding of a 60” x 60” pieced quilt. You receive the pattern for the project, the surprise, via email on the first day in the new year that 6” of snow, or more, falls on Quilters Corner (in Finleyville, PA). If we are lucky enough to avoid a major storm, you will receive the pattern on February 14th. There are three different colorways offered, and the option to purchase an additional border kit that will grow your quilt to 84” x 84”. This has proven to be a fun way to approach the snowy days ahead - consider snagging one before they sell out. Kit $44.95 (once the pattern is released the 60” x 60” quilt kit is offered at its normal $97.95 price), optional additional border kit $48.75

QC Year End Clearance

December 26th - 31st

We spend the last days of the year getting ready for our dreaded inventory. Can you imagine counting everything in the shop?!!! As we organize we find lots of things that need a new home - that’s where you come in! The last days of the year you will find fantastic prices on everything from holiday fabrics to everyday prints that have overstayed their welcome, as well as books, patterns, and other goodies. We promise great prices on wonderful things - plan to stop in!

New fabrics continue to roll in. You are going to love the pieces we have received from Free Spirit, Northcott, Riley Blake, Benatex, and other quilt world favorites. I wish I could show every single piece, but a quick look at Tender, new from Figo, is all there is room for! The elegant, contemporary prints in the collection are offered in charcoal, gray, slate blue, gold, and ivory. The groups geometric and floral designs will lend a timeless style to whatever you create - so very sophisticated!
