 Quilt Mania Monday starts January 11!  Start each month off right - Quilting! Start a new project or complete something that's been stuffed in a box! Join us on the first Monday of each month and let us help you reach your quilting goals! (This class will meet the first Monday of the month going forward.)
 
P3 Designs Travel CaseDid you or someone you know get a Kindle or another eReader for Christmas?  We have found that theKindle Cover Tool Kit pattern by P3 Designs is the perfect pouch to protect it!  Adjust the stitch lines and you've got a place for your glasses and a pen in your handy on-the-go carrier! 
 
Cinnamon Sticks
 
Friendship Triangles - Edyta SitarWhat are "Cinnamon Sticks"?  Finally....the answer...  A Cinnamon Stick is a mini-kit consisting of two pieces of 6 1/2" x 22" fabric rolled with one sheet of triangle paper used to make half-square triangle units.  Each Cinnamon Stick makes 28 half-square triangles (2" finished).  Now that we've answered that question you're probably wondering what we're going to do with them!  Using the book, Friendship Triangles by Edyta Sitar, we are starting a "Friendship Triangle Exchange" which will run through April 15.  Stop by the shop to pick up a cinnamon stick (or a few) for $3.00 each. Sew your half-square triangles and return them to us. Keep in mind that each cinnamon stick makes 28 half-square triangles of the same two fabrics; at the end of the program, we will return to you an equal number of half-square triangles to what you turned in but the half-square triangles you receive will all be different!
