We're so excited to announce that our classes for January - April 2014 have been updated on our website! Take some time out of your busy holiday schedule to take a peek at what we have to offer.  Several classes are sure to fill quickly so don't delay! You won't want to miss our hugely successful Granary Getaway which is being offered January 24-26.  Our November Granary Getaway filled in 3 days! There are also two new Block of the Month programs starting in January.  You'll find the details below and on our website.  Visit the shop to see all the new class samples in person.  
 
Stay tuned and watch your upcoming emails for details on our next small block of the month!  Sandy is hard at work choosing the perfect new BOM!

Sewfie Update
Sewfie
Wow!  We tallied up the beautiful quilts Sewfie has quilted and came up with nearly 2,000!  Thank you for trusting us with your treasures!

Sewfie is on vacation now through January 5 and will not be accepting any more quilts until January 6.  There will be a minor change in prices in the New Year.  Sewfie has demanded a 1/4 of a cent raise per square inch.  Due to the rising cost of thread and other quilting supplies, we have agreed to her demands!  Starting January 1 the price per square inch for longarm quilting will increase from $.025 to $.0275.  Thank you for your continued support.  We look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations!
Quilts from El's Kitchen Block of the Month
Paula and Julie will begin their fifth block of the month quilt together in January. This year's inspiring quilt comes from Eleanor Burns' newest book, Quilts from El's Kitchen. All 17 quilt blocks are "traditional"-some are easy and familiar to sew, while others have a new skill to learn. You can choose to make your quilt with 12 inch blocks (96" x 96" finished) or 6 inch blocks (50" x 50" finished), and a number of border options are included. Our sample showcases 12" blocks in cheery reproduction fabrics from the 1930's, but the pattern lends itself to any variety of fabric styles (many different fabric options are pictured in the book) and is fat quarter friendly. Each block has a simple recipe to go along with it which calls for just a few ingredients and basic skills to serve up! Please see our website for more details.

 

Pumpkin Hill Block of the Month
There is nothing that says Autumn more than pumpkins, bushy tailed squirrels, acorns and golden leaves. Come make Anne Sutton's Pumpkin Hill Block of the Month starting in January. You will do mostly machine applique with some pieced blocks. When finished, you will have a beautiful 56 x 64 inch quilt to enjoy every Autumn! Please visit our website for more information.
