Thanks to All who Attended
Our Fab Shop Hop Party The turn out on Friday was fabulous. Everyone who attended received all of the patterns for the Shop Hop Sampler and had the opportunity to buy previous week’s specials at a reduced rate that wasn’t quite as discounted as it was during the hop. They also received 10% off all other purchases made that evening. Don’t you wish you had come? Janice revealed the quilted items the shop staff made using blocks from the Spring Sampler. Janice saw them for the first time that day as well. Some made quilts, some made table runners, others made place mats. Some of the items were quilted, some were not. All were equally lovely. Can you match up the blocks? Original Spring Sampler
Chestnut & Vine
Six Month Block of the Month Program May-October, 2011
Did you know that this quilt is made from the center out. The center medallion is the first block. Each month after that you receive blocks/borders that build on the previous block. If you make up each installments as you receive it, you will have a finished top at the end of the program! Imagine that! ( I always procrastinate on the final setting!)
$24.95* per month for the six month subscription period. You won’t find a better price anywhere. *Plus applicable Tax and Shipping Click Here for the Signup form.

Super Simple Sunday—Candy Road Bar. Are you looking for a fun, fast quilt? Why not sign up for Sandy’s Candy Road Bar Class on May 15th. It takes a jelly roll and layer cake. Isn’t the sample cute? It’s done in Pure by Moda. Frances is teaching the Apple Core Hand Piecing class on May 22, 2011. The class uses Cindy Blackberg stamps. They make hand piecing a snap. Stamp the block on the back of your fabric, cut out the piece and sew on the stamped line. The stamps take out all of the stress when piecing curves!
