This Saturday (3-28-26) those in our end of the month pieced Saturday Sampler group will meet at 9:00am. We will share information about upcoming events, share a look at new things in the shop, and then move on to the next block in the series. This session will expand on the first two - there is always something new to learn! Be sure to bring your block from last month for show and tell!

Also on Saturday, the next Stash Management Club session will be held at 10:30am. Show and tell will begin the session (we love seeing what you create with goodies from your collection!) and then we will move on to tips for organizing your sewing space (be sure to bring some ideas!), and a new pattern that will put your collection to use. The session will be filled with information and laughter - not to be missed!

I know this is the second reminder, but please take a look in your QC date book to see details related to our celebration of PB&J Day in the shop. We use the April 2nd event as a way to support the local, independent food pantry. It’s great fun - you bring a little something for the food pantry (pb&j of course!) and you get a little goodie from us - win, win!!!

Southwestern PA Shop Hop ~ May 11th - 16th

Passport Premiere Party ~ April 11th!

Passports for the May 11th to 16th Southwestern PA Shop Hop go on sale in just a couple weeks (the hop is a collaborative event featuring great prizes, goodie bags, a progressive quilt, and more!). April 11th is your first chance to purchase the passport for the eight stop hop, while enjoying a technique demo here, a little treat, and the first block pattern for the 2026 hop progressive quilt. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Don’t forget to check out our Charm Club display on the side counter in the shop. The featured project changes the second week of each month. The patterns, the work of Me and My Sister Designs, showcase a wide range of style and finished size. The best part of this club, your “fee” is the purchase of a charm pack! New charm packs arrived today - several historic style packs, and some more contemporary ones. I can’t wait to see what April’s quilt looks like!

Fee ~ free with the purchase of a charm pack - charm packs $12.99 each (please note - packs containing far more pieces than the usual 42 charms will be more expensive)

Once again, new fabrics are everywhere! Be sure to look for new spring pieces, new batiks, new baby prints, and on, and on when you next visit! Thought you might enjoy a quick look here at these elegant new pieces from Northcott ~

Northcott’s Whisper group arrived today. The prints offer an elegant, serene take on dandelions and dragonflies. The watercolor style prints are worked in a range of color from teal to cobalt. You will find a striking panel piece, coordinates, and even a backing print - each more gorgeous than the last. These will be striking in a wide range of projects - perfect for everything from quilts to garments.   See these online...

And, earlier in the month I promised to let many of you know when new Grunge pieces arrived. Thirteen bolts came out of the boxes today - they fill in a bit, still wish there were more…

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