Jo Morton Providence

This is the new Jo Morton line that just came in. It's actually three different colorways. Can you tell which ones go together? As usual, Jo has come up with some beautiful dark and rich colors. We'll be making star towers up in each of the three colorways. Maybe Santa will bring you one for Christmas (be sure to tell him which one you want!).

Spring Class/Club Schedule

The Spring Schedule has been mailed out and you should have gotten yours by now. If you haven't received yours, you can print a copy from the link below. I'm really excited about some of the new classes we have to offer this session. One of the things we did differently this session was to add some more of what we call "technique classes", such as the Pineapple Quilt Class and the Tumbling Blocks Quilt Class. These classes meet just once for a couple of hours so that you can learn the technique, then you can go home and finish the quilt on your own. This way you don't have to commit to two or three weeks in a row. This also allows us to keep the prices down, which I know everyone appreciates right now.

Registration for spring classes will begin on December 6th at our tri-annual Open House and Discount Registration. You will get 10% off any classes/clubs that you sign up for on this day. This is also your first chance to see all of our samples. Pictures won't be up on the website until after the 6th and we won't be taking phone registration until after the 6th either. You've got to come to the shop if you want to be the first to see the new stuff and the first to sign up. Hope to see you there!

Don't Miss This Month's Free Seasonal Demo!

This month we will be demoing quick and easy Christmas projects. We've got some great hostess gift ideas and other small projects that you can still get done before Christmas. Stop by and see what we've come up with this month.

We promise we'll take the tables out of this classroom this month so there will be more room (sorry if you had to squeeze in and stand last month!).

New Book - Time Out Quilts From Atikinson Designs

The last book we had from Atkinson Designs (Let's Do Lunch) was so popular, we thought we would give this new one a try. Plus we really like there patterns because they are so nice and easy to follow. This new book is all about making traditional quilts in less time. It has seven different quilts in multiple sizes. We hope to get some samples made from this book soon so be sure to stop by the shop and see what we've come up with.

Wool Christmas Ornies are Here!

Just in time for our Holiday Make & Take Party, the Wool Christmas Ornies Kits have arrived. Kits are limited so be sure to stop by and get yours soon or order one on our website.

Joanne will be here demoing these and other cute wool ornaments on for our Holiday Make & Take Party on Saturday November 15 from 1:00-5:00. In addition to the wool ornaments, we will have three other demo stations where you can learn how to make some great holiday gifts like this Victorian Christmas Stocking.

New Jo Kit - Circle of Friends

This is a mini quilt that our Jo club did as an extra project in October. We really liked the way these Jo Morton fabrics looked against the black background. You can read more about this kit on our website.

New in the Shop This Week

We got a great new 30's reproduction line in this week called Granny's Treasures. The colors are nice and vibrant and there are some really cute little prints (I really like the bows!).







We also have put together some new Civil War Fat Quarter and Snippet Bundles (great for those scrappy Civil War Reproduction quilts).
