In this crazy quilt of life, I'm glad you're in my block of friends.


A Gathering of Quilters


First Thursday

Holidays at Home


There is nothing better than Holidays at Home by Faye Burgos for Marcus Brothers! This collection plays on traditional holiday themes with festive reds and greens. Classic motifs include lush florals, cardinals, a detailed diagonal stripe and holiday greetings.

Not only will you be pleasantly surprised with this new approach to a block-of-the-month quilt, you'll enjoy time-saving piecing tips and techniques. The blocks are made using "Strip-It", which is a unique design featuring 17 assorted prints across the width
for lots of creative potential.

We cut 11 of these kits and they are going fast,
and once they're gone, THEY'RE GONE!

In order to complete, and leave time for quilting, before the holidays we have decided to have
3 classes over the next 3 months.

Dates and Times:
August 5th, September 2nd and October 7th. 
Choose from 10:00 - 2:00 or 5:00 - 9:00.

Tuesday Clubs
Victory Club

1st Tuesday of every month



This club features Eleanor Burns' Victory Quilts book and fabric line titled Victory Garden.  This is a block of the month which feature WWII era themes and each month you will receive a precut kit along with a fun and interesting history lesson.   You may choose to complete 12 or 20 blocks.  When the last of the 20 blocks are complete we will be offering a special borders class featuring the swag border shown.




American Barns



2nd Tuesday of every month

Join us on another adventure with Eleanor Burns,
this time as she guides us on a journey paying tribute
to rural America's barns painted with quilt blocks.

Each month we will create a barn with a miniature quilt hanging on it, traditional quilt blocks and appliqued farm animals, all surrounded by a timeless checkerboard border with appliqued chicken and rooster corners!

What could be more true blue American than that?

We will be making the large sampler quilt which will finish at 70" x 70"

Magic Vine



3rd Tuesday
of every month




Starting in April, we will begin our newest club.  It is especially designed for those of you who desire to learn, or further your skills in embroidery. 
We are very excited about Helen heading this club. 

This is still one of the very best books for hand and machine applique on the market.  Eleanor has researched and gathered patterns that originated a 1930's newspaper quilting column written by Florence LaGanke Harris.  This club will cover hand and machine applique for each flower in the vine.  In addition to the patterns, Eleanor shares the actual newspaper article, which included a fictitious story about a quilt group and their leader, Nancy Page.

Twenty two flowers are appliqued in rows with twinning vines and
we will create 2 every month for a year.

You may join at anytime!!
