May/June 2015
Dear friends, Finally, spring is here. Let the bright colors and clear sunshine of May and June inspire you to create. Visit us to see the many new fabrics, patterns and books to help you focus that inspiration. A new block of the month from Jaybird quilts, called Gravity, will be starting in June. Soon we will have the sample in the shop, but since we have limited kits available, please come to the shop for further information and pre-registration. We have another design sample using the "Cutting Cakes" method which creates a “Delectable Mountain” block and a great lap quilt using one layer cake. The Chickadee Block of the Month is a four month program that has just begun and we still have spots available.
