Our newsletter is finally ready for you to download and print in PDF form!  You will still want to visit our website to view images of class projects....or better yet...come by the shop to see the samples in person!

The long awaited Downton Abbey fabric has arrived...well half of it has arrived!  Andover/Makower sadly underestimated how popular this beautiful vintage fabric line would be and oversold the line.  We should receive the balanace of the line by the end of the month.  Click on the image to go to the Makower website to view the beautiful fabrics and the multitude of free patterns available!

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.
