Summer is just flying by and we are scheduling our fall classes. We are happy to announce that Mary Ellen Sakai, Nancy Helpinstill, and Sharon Camping, are on the schedule. We will highlight a few of their classes and all the information will be on our website by the end of the week. You can sign up for classes here in the store or online.
We also received some new Halloween fabrics and a couple of them glow in the dark. Also just in are quilt themed jigsaw puzzles, great gifts for the quilters in your life.
Tool Time with Sharon is this Thursday, Aug. 19th at 7p.m. Sharon will be sharing tips and techniques for making Flying Geese. Don't forget if you bring a "Show N Tell" you'll get a prize.
Back by popular demand is our Bag Lady classes with Nancy Helpinstill. Nancy will be teaching a variety of bag classes (remember, just because you may not care for that particular project you will be learning techniques that can be applied to other projects). Nancy will also be doing quilt classes. Join Nancy for making Little Patches Feedbag, Fractured Crystals, Tossed 9-Patch, Sonoma Swing Bag, 10 Strip Wonder Bag and the One-Seam Bag.
Mary Ellen Sakai will be teaching great techniques while making fantastic projects. Join Mary Ellen for A Few of my Favorite Things(great applique technique class), Quilts on the Double, Positively Pineapple, Piecing 101, Intro to Machine Quilting, Stray Sock Sewing, and A Free Motion Experience.
