Special Flat Fold Sale!  One result of the "great flood of October 2012" was a fair amount of our Christmas fabric got wet.  We dried it and pressed it right away and put it in boxes.  We are now ready to release the folds of fabric and offer it to you at a 60% discount.  Some of the fabric is in perfect condition -- other pieces are not so perfect. Sales starts Saturday, April 13.  One yard minimum cut off the bolt.

Amish with a Twist II - Block of the Month
Amish with a Twist 2I'm so excited to share some news you've all been patiently waiting for!! We are now ready to launch the new Amish With a Twist II Block of the Month program featuring the rich solid fabrics from Marcus Fabrics and an amazing pattern designed by Nancy Rink! Amish With a Twist II draws inspiration for both the block designs and color palette from quilts that are considered to be quintessentially Amish by quilt lovers and collectors. This 105" square quilt contains 29 different solid colors and 12 different skill-building block designs (64 blocks in all) set medallion style. The blocks are designed and grouped together utilizing related techniques or similarity in block design, progressing from the easiest to the more challenging techniques. Nancy's user-friendly patterns contain colored diagrams and visual guides. She has also designed and included five exclusive "Extending the Lesson" bonus projects. This quilt is appropriate for quilters of every skill level.

 

Our 6-month program began April 1 and continue through September 2013. Kits run $34.95 plus tax per month and a $40 enrollment fee will be charged when you sign up. At the end of the program, your enrollment fee will be applied to your last kit making it a "free" month. Shipping is available for an additional cost. We are frantically working on our shop sample-the blocks are beautiful!  Call the shop today or come by for more details.
