New fabrics will be arriving for this sale and they will be 50% off during this sale. Other fabrics will be 20% off including battings. Notions will be 15% off. (books, thread, rulers, etc) Our rack of fabrics at $7.00 is growing. There will be lots of changes this year and lots of deals. Pop in as often as you can. Check out our website for clearance items. You can still purchase them live in person! Someone, and we won’t mention names, marked down a basket full of items at 40% off. Time to see what is in that basket! Notions in Motion: The first week every month we will be showcasing a notion. Come in at 9:45 a.m. any day the first week of the month and we will demonstrate a notion. May we will be showing you Marti Michell’s Flying Geese Ruler. It works so amazingly well that Liz even was successful! 10% off your purchase of the ruler applies. Check our website for online lessons from Marti Michell. WORKSHOPS OUR WORKSHOP POLICY IS THAT ALL WORKSHOPS ARE PREPAID AND IF THERE ARE LESS THAN FOUR CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS THE WORKSHOP WILL BE CANCELLED. IF WE CANCEL THE WORKSHOP YOUR MONEY WILL BE RETURNED HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP THERE WILL BE NO REFUND. WE APOLOGIZE TO THE MAJORITY OF OUR QUILTERS WHO ACTED RESPONSIBLY. WE ARE VERY SAD TO HAVE TO INSTITUTE THIS POLICY. Basic Sewing kit for most workshops: sewing machine in good working order, sewing machine manual, thread, thread scissors, seam ripper just in case, tape measure, bobbins filled and ready to go, pattern, fabric, notebook, pen, and your appetite. Please do not arrive more than 30 minutes ahead of your scheduled workshop time. It may interfere with other activities in the workshop area. Also it gives us time to make the coffee and tea and set up for your workshop. We appreciate your enthusiasm and will very much appreciate you thinking of us setting up for you. Sunday Sew and Piece: For the quilter who just needs a little time away to work on a quilt come and bring your works in progress and let the world slip away. 11:30 – 3:30 every Sunday and bring your lunch and projects and enjoy. Workshop fee $5.00. Monday Morning Madness: Pack up your works in progress and come in from 9:30 – 12:30 any Monday you can make it. You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish when you are out of your sewing room. Workshop fee $5.00 Thursday Thrillers: Spend your time with Brenda and see how much you can accomplish when the phone isn’t ringing and the door bell sounding off. Come in with your projects and sew in peace from 10:00 until 1:00 any Thursday you can make it. Brenda will be around to guide you when you need it and leave you alone when you are going ok. Workshop fee $5.00 and you are welcome to pack a lunch and enjoy quiet time. Build your own class: Do you have a group of friends that would like a special class just for you? Talk to us and we will do our best to provide you with a personalized class that suits your timetable. This could be a weekday, evening or weekend class. Bring a couple of dates and the project and let us see what we can do to accommodate you and your friends. We can also set up a lock in where you and your friends come in and have a pot luck dinner and sew all night. (or as long as you can stand it) This could come in helpful when getting ready for Christmas but plan to do this in Oct or March not Nov or Dec. Enjoy the season. If you have a group of four that are interested in learning how to quilt, let us know and we can set up a three or four session gathering and a good beginner project that will walk you through the basics without being too much at one given time. Senora does a great job of giving you the basics in little bitty pieces and gets you right to the end of a small project. Mystery Quilt: The Case of the Substitute Teacher… hmmm sounds a little suspenseful. This is a fun night. Come in comfy clothes, sew and enjoy pizza. All should be revealed eventually. We recommend using Marti Michell’s Set L templates. These templates are
engineered to reduce bulk. Our block of every other week uses this method
and our next block of every other week will also. So this is not just a one
quilt template use. We encourage all participants to pre-cut with Carl on
Sunday May 4th at noon. Carl has spent a couple of days learning
from Marti how to get the most out of her products and we would like to
share that with you. The Mystery Night will be Sat. May 24th
starting at 5:00 p.m. and going until midnightish. Fee for this night of
fun $20. Now if you like to work on your mysteries in the privacy of your
own home we still encourage you to pre-cut with Carl s and you can gather
your clues over 5 weeks for a fee of $10. Clues will start May26th. Hand Appliqué: Spend four evenings learning the quiet calm of
hand appliqué. You will create four beautiful blocks, one every two weeks.
Great project to spend quietly outdoors or when sitting comfortably with
family. Workshop dates are Sept 11 Sept 25, Oct 9 and Oct 16. 7:00 p.m. –
9:00 pm. Workshop fee $30. Tennessee Waltz: Eleanor Burns has created a book and ruler to
make this spectacular quilt. Once you have completed the quilt you can make
a matching wall hanging from the pattern included with her ruler. Wed. June
18th 10:00 – 3:00 book and ruler purchase required but of course we will
give you a nice discount. Workshop fee $25.00 light lunch included. Broken Dishes Crib Quilt: This is a great Thangles project for a
baby quilt however you can make it larger. Quilters usually do! It is
always great to have a quilt already done just in case you hear the news of
the stork. July 9h 10:00 – 3:00 light lunch included. Fee $25.
Thangles purchase required.. ($5.50 less 10% class discount) Marti’s Log Cabin: This project uses Marti Michell’s log cabin
ruler. They come in three various sizes. You will be amazed at how she has
simplified the process of making a log cabin starting with the amount of
time for cutting. Carl recently spent a few days in class with Marti and
wants to show you what he has learned. Ruler purchase is required.. shows
the magic. You will be making four blocks that may be finished as a wall
hanging or the start of a larger quilt. June 2nd from 10:00 – 3:00 workshop

built around the VW Beetle. The goal of the workshop is to build your own
Bug and time permitting work around the checkerboard finish. Book

this carrying case with her blocks of every other week. It holds your 12
inch blocks without squeezing them in and then doubles as a layout board.
Sat. Aug. 23 10:00 – 3:00 Light lunch provided $25. CLUBS Pieced Block of the Every Other Week:
Just so you don’t have to wait a year to make a sampler
we are meeting every other week to instruct, display, and do show and
tell. Every other Sat from Sept 6th onwards we will meet at
9:30 a.m., show our previous block (or not. your choice) and learn something
new. This is NOT a sales spiel. We have finished this one and the next one
already has a list of people that want to get in. We are planning a reveal,
a time to show your finished work Sat April 19th. This should
give you time to show and gloat. Thank you to all of you who participated in
this club. You really seemed to enjoy our project e every other week.
Senora really was amazed at the excitement and chatting at the Sat.
meetings. Maybe it was the coffee and tea and the occasional treat. We met
with the creator recently and she was happy to hear how well you all have
done. Toonie Blocks: Brand
new blocks from Thangles for this Toonie Session. This is how it works.
You choose, before this begins, two fabrics for your quilt. There will be a
Sat and a Wed. session. On your chosen day you will come in and pay a
Toonie and receive your pattern, the fabric you have selected. The first
session we will demonstrate how to use Thangles if you have never used them
to make half square triangles. Each session you will build an 8 1/.2 inch
block. Following the creator’s instructions you can build that Toonie block
into a larger block. By adding 3 more fabrics you won’t believe how that
little Toonie grew. This is a 12 week club starting Sat. June 7th
and Wednesday June 11. Come in any convenient time to pick up your package
on those days. On our website you will notice that we are adding as we can the new products for you to view. There have been some very interesting books coming into the shop. You are welcome to create your own wish list with us and then direct your gift givers to us and we will assist as best we can. There are a couple of husbands who leave with a very relieved look on their face. Their wives are relieved when they find out the husbands did come in. Battings: Buy your batting by the meter and save! We have Hobbs Heirloom and Warm and Natural, Thermore, as well as Thermolan Plus. We have also been asked for polyester battings which give a softer fluffier look. That is now available and is 108 inches wide and sells for $7.25/m …. FUSIBLE batting $11.49/m… Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 is at our every day price of $9.50/m and it is 96 inches wide. We have Tuscany Wool batting an organic batting for a lofty look. We carry a selection of pillow forms and stuffing and can order in any special size that you may require that we may not have in stock. Wool batting is now in stock prepackaged in a queen size. If you require a different size please let us know and we will get it for you. If you are looking to purchase an entire bolt please let us know and we will order it and phone you when it arrives. Please keep in mind when we have a fabric sale, batting is also included in that sale. Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 natural color batting is 96 inches wide and comes in a 30 YARD bolt. $200.00 Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 bleached (if there is a lot of white in your quilt this is great) is 108 inches wide and comes in a 30 YARD bold. $300.00 Hobbs Polyester batting is 108 inches wide, white and comes in a 30 YARD bolt. $225. Buttons: Lately lots of knitters have been coming in and are so excited that they can find buttons for their projects. We carry what we believe you are looking for so let us know any special requests and we will try to provide. Pillows and Stuffing: We usually have some on hand but at this time of the year we are stocking up for those gift giving projects. High quality pillows and stuffings are in stock and if we don’t have your size just let us know and we will try to get it for you. If you are looking for a specific ruler or notion please let us know and if we can find it we will bring it in for you. That goes for books, patterns and such. We are grouping books and rulers and giving a great price if you purchase both at the same time. This gets you working on that project with a little extra cash in the pocket! Our information highway is growing and we have more connections than before. That is what you get for getting older I guess. Please remind Liz that you get 10% off any fabric purchases for workshops. She gets yakking and forgets. Just ask some of her quilters: then she feels bad. All workshops are subject to GST. We accept Cash, Cheque, Visa, MasterCard and Interact. We do very little advertising so if you would like to keep informed as to our spur of the moment sales and new items, please send us an email requesting to be added to our list and we will keep you informed but not sell or give out your address or you can check our website regularly. Keep in mind that Liz has her special 50th birthday on May 16th and she is planning a great sale for her quilters and some wonderful prizes to be won. Yes she does get excited about her birthday. Visit our website and go to the clearance items on the online shopping. These items can also be purchased in person. This year Liz has resolved to clear out the corners so keep a look out for what gets the red sticker price. Thank you for your continued support, great visits and friendship. Without you our loyal quilter our shop would not exist.
