This Saturday (2-21-26) those in our 2026 applique Saturday Sampler program will meet at 9:00am. We will review the information we shared in our first session, expanding on the techniques covered in January, and then move on to the next block in the series. We will also share information about things going on in the shop, and take a quick look at some new fabric arrivals that are perfect for applique. Don’t forget your block from January - we can’t wait to see it!

You get to be part of the contest by voting for your favorite quilt shop at www.LQSContest.com/vote before February 28th. A few questions answered, including a comment or a little story about your favorite shop, and you’ve voted!

QC Block of the Month Show and Tell

Sunday ~ February 22nd ~ 1:00pm

Have you put the final stitches in a Quilters Corner block of the month project? Next question - have you registered to attend the show and tell session this Sunday afternoon?! We would love to see your project (isn’t Heather’s finished 2025 pieced sampler, shown here, wonderful?), and we would love to reward your efforts with a little gift! It’s rather last minute, but call today if you have not already registered and would like to attend.

Simple Whatnots Club 2026 ~ series begins!  

Thursday ~ February 26th ~ 10:30am

We are so very excited to be starting Kim Diehl’s Collection 15 Simple Whatnots Club! Over the course of the year, we will offer the eight unique, petite quilts in the collection, as well as, two marvelous sampler projects (one tiny, the other larger!). The quilts are shown in Kim’s newest fabric group, Love Struck, from Henry Glass. While historic in scale and style, the prints expand a bit on colors she has used in the past. We will begin the year with her Box of Chocolates quilt. The little squares that travel diagonally across the quilt are worked as Nine Patch blocks - a unique approach, making for a great finished little piece. We can’t wait to get started - we would love to have you join us!

Fee $6.00 per session (includes pattern and instruction - fabrics may be purchased as yardage, or as fat quarter or third yard packs)

It is beginning to look a lot like spring here - well, at least inside the shop… Several companies have sent fabrics featuring truly lovely flowers. My current favorites are the Nature’s Serenade prints. Their beautiful Susan Winget artwork is offered in soft shades of green, blue, rose, and yellow. Flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, sweet birds - I think she has our favorite things covered!

Fabric $13.60 per yard, panel $9.25 See these online...

Upcoming classes! ~

Beautifully Bound

Friday ~ March 6th ~ 10:30am-1:00pm

The binding, the finishing touch, is so very important for your quilt. During this session we will cover the techniques used to beautifully execute a traditional style binding. We will cover fabric selection, preparation of both the quilt and the binding, and then both the machine and hand stitching portion of the technique. We will place special emphasis on perfecting the corners and end of your binding. Your work deserves the perfect finish!

Fee $21.00

Choosing Color With Confidence

Wednesday ~ March 11th ~ 10:30am-12:30pm

In this lecture format class, you will be introduced to basic color theory as it pertains to selecting fabrics for your sewing projects. We are surrounded by color everywhere, every day, and thus, may take color for granted. We can choose color intuitively or consciously. The difficulty is trusting those instincts. We will study how to go about choosing with confidence during the session.

Fee $18.00

Back-Basted Applique

Thursday ~ March 19 ~ 10:30am-1:30pm

Like with pieced quilt designs, there are many different ways to execute applique. The back-basting technique is a handwork method that requires a unique setup, which eliminates the need for paper templates. The applique design is first traced on the back of the fabric, and then basting and stitching begins. During the class you will work the different steps used for this precise, slow stitching technique. Fee $24.00

Please note ~ current shop hours are 10:00am-4:00pm Monday thru Saturday.
