Take 20% off all yardage, kits and pre-cuts during our sale and enjoy top shelf quilt shop only fabric from our many wonderful collections including Christmas and Halloween for this celebration event.

Back to School: Beginning Quilt Making with Desa Omli Learn the art of Quilt-making in this popular eight week series with Desa Omli. Our Beginning Quilt Making series starts September 14th for 8 weeks on Thursdays, 10a-1p or 5:30-8:30p. Cost is $160 plus fabric and supplies (approx. $150). Well worth all the effort as graduates testify, this class is the number one class for new or new again quilters. Learn all the elements of quilt making, start to finish, in this class taught by local instructor Desa Omli. Students make a sampler quilt learning new skills and techniques each
week. Classroom instructional’s are taught each week in class while machine sewing is done at home so you don’t need to bring your sewing machine to class. Stop in to sign up and pick up a
supply list soon as this class fills quickly. Space is limited for this very special series. A college level class offered in-store. Your spot is guaranteed with payment. Thank you.

Be My Neighbor, 16 block sampler. Fabric by Sweetwater for Moda.
I think ours is the best one yet. This great free pattern from Moda is called Be My Neighbor. We started it as a 16 week, block of the week and now we’re on the final stretch. Block patterns from Moda in this lively and neighborly sampler. We chose Sweetwater’s Hometown Christmas Edition for our fabric and mixed it up with grunge and dimples. Isn’t it great? Follow along with your own choices and make it for this season or next. It’s a fun one not to be missed. See Susan for more details on this sampler. Thank you to Kathy Hise for the wonderful block samples for this project. Background fabric from Maywood Studios, pearl essence.
