Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring are Lynda Howell's 33" x 45" Changing Seasons Block of the Month wall hangings. One of the blocks in each season's wall quilt features a quaint house and tree which change with each season; other blocks of seasonal motifs are unique to each wall quilt. What a better way to start off your Winter than to think of warm Summer days. 

See our Events page for more details.

Paula and Julie will begin their third block of the month quilt together in January. This year's BEAUTIFUL quilt, Paris in the Fall, comes from designer, Sherri K. Falls, of This & That, and features 12 blocks (2 each of 6 designs) and a unique pieced sashing and pieced cornerstones which give the quilt a vintage feel. See our Events page for all the details!

Classes meet on the first Friday afternoon and Saturday morning of each month-you can choose which session works best for you. One-time fee of $110 for 12-month program; pattern and fabric sold separately.

Vicki Bellino and Marcus Fabrics have joined forces to bring us a stunning 1930's Row of the Month featuring Aunt Grace's Garden Party fabric collection designed for Marcus by Judie Rothermel. Finished size is 77" x 83". 

Our ROM program includes the pattern and fabric to complete the quilt top and binding; kits available January through June 2012. Shipping is available for an additional fee.  See our Events page for more details.

Cotton Club Block of the Month 

It's not too late to sign up for the Cotton Club BOM program featuring patterns and fabrics designed by Bonnie Blue Quilts! The fabric collection was created around an antique border print from the mid 1800's, along with antique coordinates in varying shades of red and brown. The 78" x 85" quilt contains 45 sampler style 5" blocks set in vertical pieced columns. We call this a "blocks" of the month program because you will receive patterns for 4 or 5 blocks each month. The blocks are designed and grouped together utilizing a specific technique or similarity in block design, progressing from the easiest to the more challenging techniques. 

The Cotton Club program began in September and will run through August 2012. Kits run $24.95 plus tax per month; shipping is available for an additional cost. Call the shop today or come by for more details and to see our completed shop sample made by the Granary's Kris Clarkson! It's beautiful! This quilt is recommended for intermediate to advanced quilters.

 Upcoming Classes

In April 2010, Nancy Bavor became an American Quilter's Society Certified Appraiser of quilted textiles when she successfully passed both the written and verbal certification exams. There are only 90 AQS certified quilt appraisers in the U.S. and Canada and Nancy is the only AQS certified appraiser in Northern California.

Happy Hour

To the left is the cheerful quilt Jody created using November's "Layer Cake" selection and a pattern from Thimble Blossom called "Red Velvet".  There are a few fabric packets left in the shop and plenty of patterns available so that you can create your own!

Happy Hour will take a rest in December and return in January!  The fabric selection for January will be posted in our next email.  Happy Hour returns Friday, January 27   6:30-8pm.
