2008 Ideas for reading materials
We are sticking with our resolve to clear out the corners and make room for the new arrivals. A special table has been set up just for the newest discounted items. Charm squares are now only 35 cents, great for I Spy, yo yo making and getting an assortment of fabrics without investing big money. This is for August only! We have discovered extra block kits from our last Block of Every Other Week. They are going on sale for $5.00 each. Great for making a co-ordinating dresser scarf or blanket box cover. We have a basket of patterns priced at $2.00! 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. Some clearance items will also be on the web shopping site. New books and notions are in stock and moving quickly. I guess Liz did something right. 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. 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 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. Learn to Machine piece and quilt and finish it right to the
binding! We have a program that will take the beginner from the very basics
such as picking out your fabric to learning how to rotary cut. Then we move
on to machine piecing until we have created either a crib size or lap size
quilt. Well it isn’t a quilt until it is quilted so let’s learn how to mark
and baste and quilt this project. Then we will finish off with a binding
lesson so you can enjoy your first quilt. This is broken into eight- two
hour sessions so you are not overwhelmed and have little to no homework. We
understand how hectic your life is. The workshop fee is $100.00. Your
materials and notions will be extra but if you purchase for a workshop you
will receive a 10% discount. You can sign up for Wed. evening session
starting at 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Oct. 1st running until Nov.
19th. You must own a sewing machine and know how to thread and
operate it. If you have any concerns that your machine is not quite ready
for the task, save yourself a lot of heartache and take it into Pat’s Sewing
Center on Dufferin Street in Alliston. You don’t want to waste your time in
class worrying about your machine. Enrolment for this class is limited to 4
participants. If you have a group of 4 who would like to learn, we can work
with your schedule. Using Marti Michell’s Template Set L: This workshop is designed for any of our BOEOW club members or anyone who has purchased these templates and are not sure how to use them correctly. Once you discover how well designed her templates are you will be a believer. In this workshop we will use Set L templates (we have used them in our BOEOW and our Mystery Quilt and you can bet we will be using them again so you get value for your purchase) and make 3 or 4 bear paw blocks to create a table runner or dresser scarf. We want you to leave feeling confident about this project. Sun. Sept. 7th 11:30 – 3:30 Workshop fee $20 and snacks will be provided. Six Colour Table Runner: Just in time for entertaining. We will
show you how to use Thangles to create this practical table runner. Great
to keep or give as hostess gifts. Sat. Sept. 13th 10::00 – 3:00
pm. Light lunch served. Workshop fee $25.00 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. Sat.
Sept. 27th 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. Make a different kind of border on your panel: Quilters are
always looking for ways to finish a panel. Bring in your panel and three
other fabrics, your calculator and notebook and discover how to make a
different kind of border. Sat. Oct. 4th 10:00 – 4:00 Light lunch
served. Workshop fee $25.00 Kaleido-Ruler: This is one amazing ruler and you can make an
amazing quilt. You will start with making the centre and put it together

quilt. Recommended for the confident quilter. 2 sessions… Sun. Oct 5th

finished sizes. Sat. Oct. 18th from 10:30 – 4:30. Light lunch

Nov. 16th. 11:00 – 4:00. Snack will be provided. Workshop fee $25.00 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 until Feb. 7th
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 chosen the program
for our upcoming club. The colour selections have been ordered
and have now arrived in the shop. There will
be three choices. The centre medallion is extra and a second medallion would
make a great wall hanging to complement the quilt and give the room a
co-coordinated look. We will be using Set L templates for the block of
every other week like we did in last year’s club and in our mystery class.
The centre medallion requires Set A. Marti finishes the quilt with her
centre medallion and borders at 94.5 inches square and suggests another 5
inch border for a king size finished product. We will let you know as soon
as the kits are available for the medallion. Fabric for framing the blocks
and sashings and borders will be available for club members only. Club cost
$20 plus taxes. No penalty charges. Open to picking up your package on days
other than Sat. 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. If you click to our online shopping you can view some of the items in the store and are more than welcome to order online or come in to the shop and make your selections. 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.
