New Block of the Month: The Circle Game!

Another Block of the Month club is here! Join the party as we scrap our way through the beautiful pattern for The Circle Game. This new pattern is originally from Australia! If you love circles and if you love using your own beautiful scraps, this is the quilt for you. The original pattern suggests hand sewing the entire quilt top but Gwen has completed this quilt with a majority of the seams sewn by machine and the concentric circles sewn down by either hand or machine appliqué. Learn new, easy techniques in using freezer paper for speed and precision. Hand sewing techniques and tips will also be provided. Quilters of all skill levels can make this quilt! You will love working from your stash and making this masterpiece truly your own.  
Sign up for whichever month you want here!

Cartonagem Art Box Class

We had a box making class today and it was very different from our usual quilt classes that we have held! It was a wonderful craft project that Diana O'Connor held in which you created all sorts of boxes with fabrics that you love or have left lying around your house! It was a full house and everyone was able to finish their project before they left! The instructor will be creating Kits that will soon be available at our shop as well as holding a class! (You can look at our Pinterest for more photos!)

New Event at Sewing Party!


Block Party!

BYOB is our new monthly event at Sewing Party scheduled on the LAST Saturday of each month hosted by Jean Impey. It is free and starts when the store opens (10:00 a.m.) and will only last for one hour! Our first date is March 30. 

You'll hear all the rules and see the fabric selection for Game #1 at that time. You will be able to make your own unique block(s), as many as you like provided they are the exact size and from the fabrics in that month's collection, bring them back the following month and get a ticket for each one submitted for your chance to win a total of 12 blocks! If you win, you should have enough to make your own quilt, your style! This game will continue until every person that has attended the game without absence or participation has won a set of 12 blocks At that time a new Game will begin again. 

So come join us and sign up today!
