A Message from Perry I would personally like to thank God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing my family and me with the opportunity to run His business we call Mel’s. It’s hard to believe that 60 years ago on June 1, 1956, my parents, Bud and Mary Lytton started Mel’s. We have many things to celebrate and many memories that we have been thinking of while getting ready for our 60th. In honor of this momentous occasion, we have lots of exciting sales and events planned during the month of May! Be sure to read this newsletter so you do not miss out on any of the surprises we have planned! I want to personally thank you for being our loyal customers. You are what makes us great. Perry Lytton, Owner, MEL’S Sewing & Fabric Center

Absolutely Applique! 2 Day Workshop

$120.00

Plus $16.00 Pattern Fee Day of Class

Traditionally, quilters often struggle making fabric choices when planning a quilt. Learn exactly what draws the eye to interesting block patterns in quilts to give them life. We discuss keys to effective fabric selection in this workshop, apply hands-on design exercises, and make a quilt applying everything you learn. The first day is “Building Your Color Sense,” a no-sew, hands-on session. You learn to apply design rules to choose fabrics for your quilt and enhance your own fabric intuition. The second day, you compose an eye-popping quilt, “Shadows and Light,” using a single block pattern and ten fat-quarters! The block used for this exercise is a magical block that changes design based on where you place your fabrics. Each block turn-outs looking completely different! As a part of the quilt making experience, you also learn precision piecing, using one little essential notion. Understanding the points taught in this workshop will make all the difference in your future quilts. Anaheim Location 10:00—4:00 Friday & Saturday May 13 & 14
