Open Wednesdays until 6:00!!!
| 
It has come to our attention that it might be a bit difficult for the quilter that works 9 to 5 to make it to our store within our current business hours. As a result we have decided to stay open until 6:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. We are hoping this will be helpful and will better accommodate our working quilters!

Hand Quilting with Diane Hosman
| 
The domestic art of hand quilting is back in vogue and in full swing. More and more people are expressing a desire to finish off their pieced and appliqued quilt tops with beautiful hand stitches. Join us in small classes where you learn the values of fabric, needles, thread, hoops, and thimbles.
You'll also learn how to avoid carpel tunnel syndrome while quilting.
One of the many pleasures of hand quilting is the peacefulness that takes over when the fingers begin to move in a quiet rhythm. Come join us in the resurrection of this gentle art. If you have had any doubts about this hand-craft, please remember we all started with big, uneven stitches, but we had to start somewhere!
Saturday, June 14th and
Saturday July 19th
. 10:00-2:00 $30.00
Supply list available at the shop.

Summer Clothesline Basket Class with Susan Freebery
| 
On Saturday, July 26th come join us at the shop to wrap, wind, and sew fabric strips into fantastic baskets, containers, place mats, rugs, purses or trivets. Create all those things using cotton clothesline and strips of fabric from your stash or yardage that you cut into strips. This is a fun, easy and rewarding class and you will leave with a basket you are proud to call your own using fabrics you already have in your stash!
How about making one from that left over fabric from a baby quilt and it can then be used to hold loose items in the nursery. Or how about starting early to prepare for Christmas 2014? These projects make marvelous gifts when given, full or empty!
