2010 Classes & Workshops Block of the Month Quilt "Civil War Tribute" Saturday January 9th,2010 REGISTRATION IS OPEN! This has to be one of the neatest quilts we have found and since it is a Civil War era quilt it fits us to the "T". The fabrics are really grand, we love them all, and they are designed by Judie Rothermel one of our favorite designers for Marcus Brothers fabrics. The pattern is designed by Homestead Hearth. We like the patterns because you are given the backgrounds and some history with each block. Your monthly pattern and kit will run $23.95 and our class fee for your instruction will be only $10.00 per class.
Here are some other options: This
Block of the Month can also be mailed out and then you would not have a
class fee but would pay the postage. We can also just sell the
pattern. The pattern sells for $60.00 or we can sell you the
entire kit for $287.40. Lots to think about but I think this is
just one of the best quilts we have seen for a block of the month and we
are confident however you choose to participate or just order your
preference it will be one of your favorite quilts when you finish. I am going to give you a look at the first block and our Schoolroom. We had our first class this past weekend 1-9-10 and it was a hit. We had 6 in class today and will have 9 next month and it is still not too late to join us we would take up to 12 but that is the max. You can kind of see the first blocks up on the front counter we worked on today and we will put up more as we progress. The line of fabric is so beautiful.

We are very excited to be breaking in our new schoolroom for this class on Saturday January 9th . We are thinking Saturdays will be better for our working girls and the class will begin at 10 am and should be finished by 2pm in the afternoon. After this we will try and run each New Block on the first Saturday of the month.
Vintage Quilt Club Classes Registration open January 13th, 2010 10am - 2pm
This is a new
class/club idea we would like to present to you. Vickie Gerike
will be your instructor. We will plan on meeting on the 2nd Wednesday
of every month
"OPEN SEW" IN OUR NEW SCHOOLROOM *BEGINS MONDAY JANUARY 18TH (going forward it will be the 3rd Monday of the month) 10am - 2pm / Cost $10.00 *We had our first open sew day today January 18th and this where you will meet and make new friends that enjoy the art of handwork. It is a great way to get things done and get yourself excited over the art of quilting with friends you will undoubtedly learn something new too. I think it just might be better than a shrink. Please feel free to join us, please remember to call and let us know if you will be joining us. You are invited to come in and work on whatever you want, we will have teachers available if you need any help or just enjoy good friends and make new. BYO lunch or we can call out for pizza, something from the General Store it will just be great fun. Linda Lautenschlager from Chessie and Me has indicated she would love to be a part of this idea as we know there are several people that admire cross stitch and would love to learn how. You will never find a better teacher for beginning cross stitch, learning to work on linen and she can help you with punch needle either beginning or just refresh you. If we end up with a group there will probably be a different fee to pay Linda's teaching fee. Civil War Homefront
