Hello Quilting & Sewing Friends! 

  

The 2012 Block of the Month Quilt 'Memories of Provence' is now on display at the shop and ready for sign-ups! You must come and see this quilt in person - it is stunning! The finished quilt measures approximately 83" x 103" - perfect for a queen size bed.

   

 

You will complete 12 blocks between January and December 2012. The registration fee for the 2012 Block of the Month program, which includes your first block and pattern, is only $20.  At the time of registration you will select the time slot for your demos: Saturday at 10:30 or 11:30 or 12:30  or Sunday at 1:00pm.  You will not pay another penny for your remaining 11 blocks (fabric and pattern) if you follow one simple rule: Come at your registered time the second weekend of each month in 2012, bring in your completed block and attend the Block of the Month demo. You will then get your next month's block FREE at the end of the demo! (If you do miss a demo or do not have your block completed, you can get the next month's block for only $5). 

 

We will have fat quarter 'Oops!' kits in the Memories of Provence block fabrics so you can make more blocks or just in case your rotary cutter gets away from you when cutting a block, you lose a block or didn't read the pattern correctly the first time.  But who does that...?!

  

 

The finishing kit can be done in reds, as in our shop sample, or blues. Both are equally gorgeous - we had a hard time deciding which colorway to make up!   Choose your favorite color to finish your quilt: Red or Blue. Prepay for your finishing kit and backing by March 1, 2012 and save 20% off the regular price of each. Hurry, there are a limited number of kits available in each colorway (red or blue).

  

By the way, don't miss the 2011 River City Quilters Guild quilt show 'Symphony of Color' going on this Friday, November 18th thru Sunday, November 20th. There are over 200 quilts on display along with 29 vendors, demonstrations, a silent auction, door prizes and a Country Store.  See featured artist Jan Soules all three days. The quilt show takes place at the Scottish Rite Temple, 6151 H Street, Sacramento, CA. Click here for more information.

   

 

Hard to believe, but we have received even more fabric in this past week! For boys, we have Thomas the Train from Quilting Treasures/VIP Exclusive. What little boy doesn't love Thomas?! Back with Shannon Cuddle for a squeezably soft blanket for that special little boy!

 

 

South Sea Imports brings you 'My Farmhouse Kitchen' with a project sheet showing you how to make a table runner, placemats and grocery bag. We also have the coordinating apron and a completed sample for you to see at the shop! Easy to make and very cute!

 

 

For those of you who love black & white fabrics, we just got in 6 bolts from Camelot's Isabella collection. Three different prints done in both black on white and white on black. For fun we ordered some of the designs from Quilting Treasure's Sew Much Fun line. Great for making sewing machine covers, bags to carry your fabrics and notions and even sewing room décor projects. 

 

Did you get a Sew Steady table during our promotion earlier this year? If not, we decided to offer them again at 20% savings. Pre-order your table and accessories for holiday gift-giving today. New giant size table available as well as a new polish for the table to help your fabric glide over the surface.  Think free motion! There's a new gauge available for the Sew Steady table now too to help you sew perfectly straight!  All at 20% savings if you order now thru December 24th.

  

Because we have so many new additions, we are extending our half bolt sale another week to make room for the newest arrivals. The half bolts are the shorter bolts around the shop with the 44/45" fabric folded to about 11" wide and usually two yards or less on them. All 30% off per yard or 50% off when you finish the bolt. Also, we have the cutest patterns from a new source for us: Pumpkin Berry Stitchery. Find whimsical snowmen, santas, etc with darling sayings all at 25% off thru next Wednesday, November 23rd.  

 

Watch for our newsletter a little earlier next week... we are going to have our first ever After-Thanksgiving Sale! Details next week!
