We are happy to introduce our newest Block of the
Month to you! “Spin Me, A quilt sampler” will join the lineup beginning Jan. 3, 2009! This beautiful sampler block quilt is a 9-month program, and will run from Jan.09 – Sept. 09. It’s a beginning to intermediate level project.
The rules are simple:
Enrollment fee is only $10.00! With your paid
enrollment, you will receive one “Free Ride” ticket, which gives you a pass for any one month you have to miss class. What does that mean? Let me explain:
Each month you attend our short class, and you arrive on time, and you have your completed block from the previous month, and you are there in person, you receive your next block FREE! So, your “Free ride” ticket allows you to miss a class and not pay for your block. Each month we will review how the block is assembled, and answer any questions you have. You make the blocks at home.
The fabric we have chosen is from Red Rooster, and is called Bread & Butter. Allocations
have been made and the fabric will be arriving next month. The sample quilt can be seen in
our shop. If you choose to use our finishing layout, you may purchase a finishing kit that
includes all fabrics, including binding and optional backing, along with the pattern,
instructions and diagrams. We will demonstrate the setting blocks during class, and you
may want to make them ahead of time so your quilt is ready to assemble when the last
block is released.
Because we must pre-purchase the fabric, we will offer an “early-purchase” discount if you
buy your kit prior to the start of the program (Jan. 3, 09). Pricing for the finishing kit is as
follows:
Finishing kit: $69.00 Early purchase price: $58.65 (good until Jan. 3, 2009)
Optional backing: $40.95 Early purchase price: $34.80 (limited quantity)
The finished size on our model quilt is 77” x 77”. However, the borders are cut the length
of the fabric, which allows for larger outer borders than we used. Finished size can be up to
85” x 85” with no additional fabric purchase. (10” border)
Since this is a fabric line that is not scheduled to re-print, we WILL have a cut-off for
membership in this year’s club. Paid sign-ups will be confirmed members (whether or not
a finishing kit is purchased). Classes will be held on the FIRST SATURDAY of each month
and 3 times will be available for you to choose from – 10:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m.
Get your quilting friends together – or quilting wanna-be’s and sign up NOW! Finishing kit
can be ordered at time of sign up, and must be paid prior to picking up the kit. Last day to
order a finishing kit is Feb. 2, 2009. Please make sure your kit is paid for by Sept. 6, 2009.
Stop by today and sign up for Block of the Month, or give us a call and we can enroll you by
phone. Check the website for a color picture of “SPIN ME!”

Last week we were lucky enough to have a PFAFF educator come and teach us all about Sergers. I have used sergers before, but never really in depth and these machines do some awesome stuff. So the Creative Overlock 4874 was my favorite(it does most the work for you) but the others were super good too. So below is the little blurb that is on their website and you can see the other PFAFF sergers here. One other cool thing about PFAFF sergers is that they have an online interactive threading guide, so no more stressing when your machine comes unthreaded.
PFAFF CREATIVE OVERLOCK 4874
Thread tensions, stitch lengths, and differential feed are automatically at the optimal setting and can be individually adjusted if needed. And, of course, your individual settings can be saved! You'll also discover easy threading, and absolutely even seams - thanks to the differential feed. There is also a generous work area, high presser foot lift, extensive accessories, and a tension release button for the needle threads, so the fabric can easily be removed from under the presser foot.
Come learn how to make this super cute Baby Burp Cloth.
