Pictures from our Jelly Roll Race class

Hey Everyone!

Some of the ladies in my Saturday class sent me pictures of the quilts they started in class.  One lady got all the borders done and everything......





These all turned out so beautiful and will be even more so once the borders are added.  Thanks again to you ladies for all the laughs and fun.....

If you are interested in this class, let us know.  The date is November 10, 2012.

Everyone have a great day!!!

Good Morning and Class Update

Hello Everyone!!!

It is Monday, and I am afraid it is going to be all day long, but wasn't the temperature great out this morning.  Makes me think Fall really isn't too far away.

I wanted to give a big shout out to the ladies from my Jelly Roll Race quilt class on Saturday.  I had a great time with ya'll and hope you had a great time as well.  I can't wait to see the pictures of the quilts you started Saturday so I can see how they turned out.  Thanks again to Jenny for texting me a picture of hers.  If ya'll will send me pictures by email, I'll post them on the blog for everyone to see!!!  We have a second Jelly Roll Race class scheduled for Saturday, November 10th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m..  I also have some new Moda Christmas jelly rolls on order that will be available for the class.  We still have some Holiday Medley by Kansas Troubles, Share the Joy by Deb Strain (I think) and will be getting in Merry Medley by Sandy Gervais and Winter Elegance (not sure who the designer is on this one). 

I had the last space in my Saturday morning 9:00 a.m. to 11:30ish a.m. beginner's quilting class fill up on Friday.  We are still taking names of people who are interested to see if we have enough interest to do a second beginner's class, perhaps Saturday afternoon or one evening during the week.  Make sure you email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com or call the shop at (931) 682-3746 to add your name to the list.  We need at least three people interested to start another class, so be sure and call as soon as you are certain you want to take the class. 

On October 13, 2012, we will be having our Hearts and Stars Quilt class.  I have posted pictures of this quilt on prior blogs, so you can check back and look at this beautiful quilt.  Ms. Sandra made three new kits for this quilt and is giving a 10% discount off on anything bought for class.

Everyone have a fabulous week!

Beginner's Quilt Class

Hello Again.....

Just a quick note....received an email a few minutes ago that one of the ladies signed up for the beginner's class was signed up in error, so I have room for one additional in the 9:00 a.m. to 11:30ish class beginning September 8th. 

Thanks again!

Melissa

Upcoming Classes

Morning Everyone!

We have some news about upcoming classes.  I have scheduled one additional class for November.  It is going to be another machine applique class.  It will be on November 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  The cost is $20 per person.  After the class we had a couple of weeks ago, I have had a couple of client inquiries as to a machine applique class.  If we get enough participants (we need at least three), we will have the class.   That will likely be our last class of the year as Thanksgiving comes soon after this class and then everyone is getting ready for the Christmas Holidays.  If time permits, I am going to have a Dresden class sometime the 2nd or 3rd Saturday in January of 2013, before tax season swallows me up til mid-April.  I will have more details on that class as time goes on. 

So, a summary of upcoming classes:

Jelly Roll Race Class - August 18th (this class is full) and another on November 10th (need 3 participants).  Cost is $20 per person plus the cost of the jelly roll.  We have ordered some Moda jelly rolls, so if you are interested and want one, come see us.  The cost of the jelly rolls are $34.95 each (I went ahead and reduced the price of these by 10%).

Beginner's Quilting Class - Saturday September 8th through Saturday October 6th - 9:00 a.m. to 11:30ish - cost is $75 for the series (this class is full, however, if we have enough additional people who wish to take it, we will schedule a second beginners class beginning the same week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. or perhaps a weeknight from 6:00 til 8:30 p.m. depending on what works best for the interested parties).  The list of supplies needed for the Beginner's Quilting Class is now available at the shop, or if you can't make it by the shop between now and September 8th, we can either mail, fax or email the list to you.  You can email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com or call us at (931) 682-3746 and let us know.  Sandra is offering a 10% discount on any class supplies purchased at the shop (that includes fabric) and we should have everything you need in the next week or so. 

It is very important that if you are still interested in the beginner's quilting class, you call or email us as soon as possible so we can gauge if we have enough additional people interested. 

Hearts and Stars Class - Saturday, October 13th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. - cost is $25 per person.  Once you sign up, we can get you a copy of the pattern we are going to be using.  I know at least one lady already signed up has purchased a kit, and Sandra made three additional kits yesterday.  As always, she is offering 10% off on supplies purchased for the class, and that includes the quilt kits. 

Machine Applique Class - Saturday, November 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. - cost is $20 per person.  We need at least three participants to go ahead with the class.  We will be using Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam applique's for this class.  We have some precut with Steam A Seam on the back ready for use for $2.00 each.  We can also cut some out from fabric of your choice, and we have some precut pieces ready to cut.  Just stop by and let us know. 

Also, wanted everyone to know we went fabric shopping Sunday, and have a few new fabrics for everyone to look through.  We also have a couple of new fat quarter bundles. 

If you have any questions, please contact us at your earliest convenience and everyone have a fabulous rest of the week!

Jelly Roll Race Class August 18th

Morning Everyone!

Just wanted to post a quick note to the five ladies coming to the class this Saturday, August 18th. 

I did get the Christmas jelly rolls in for the class, so they will be available to choose from when you come.  All you are going to need for this class is:

Sewing machine
Marking implement (whatever you normally use to mark on fabric with......I use a regular pencil but bring whatever it is you are comfortable using)
Large scissors or rotary cutter (to cut off tails when joining jelly roll strips)
Small ruler
Pins

I look forward to another fun filled class, ladies!!! Have a great week!

Jelly Roll Race Quilt

Hey Again Everyone!!

Just a quick note......I had an email from one of our quilting friends requesting to see a picture of our jelly roll race quilts.  I am attaching two pictures of jelly roll race quilts.  Melissa made these for two friends of her's using the same jelly roll for the center (the "jelly roll race" part) and added different borders.  They both turned out very pretty and surprisingly different.  As we noted on an earlier blog, our class for August 18th is booked full, and we have scheduled a second class for Saturday, November 10th @ 9:00 a.m. til 11:30 a.m.  The cost is $20 per person.  Just give the shop a call at 931-682-3746 to let us know you would like to come.  We have purchased several Moda Jelly Rolls for those who wish to buy jelly roll(s) for the class, or of course you are welcome to bring one from home.  We have several Christmas jelly rolls (Holiday in Kashmir; Share the Joy; Holiday Medley), two for autumn (Phenomenal Fall) and others including Hello Luscious by Basic Grey; Panier De Fleuris by French General; Curio by Basic Grey (I think), California Girl by Fig Tree Quilts and Coming Home by Deb Strain.  I also have two Petite Odile by French General and two jelly rolls of Meadow by Blackbird designs.  We have tried to get a mixture so we would have something that would appeal to everyone!



Both of these measure approximately 66 x 84 ish (can't remember exactly).  You can certainly make them bigger by adding more borders to get the size you require.  Melissa (the teacher) is trying to figure out how to make one queen size.  The first one didn't turn out exactly as she had hoped, but she will bring it for "show and tell"! 

Have a great week!

Class Update and Good Morning!

Morning Everyone!

I wanted to let our clients know that we have had a cancellation in our beginner's quilting class.  The class is to start Saturday, September 8th and run through Saturday, October 6th.  The class is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.  The cost is $75 for the five week series.  A list of supplies needed will be available soon.  If you know someone who has mentioned wanting to know the basics, this is a great class.  The participants will leave the class with their first completed quilt top.  We will begin with the basics of machine set up, sewing accurate seams and go from there.  We have two people definitely and maybe a third, so we have room for 1-2 more participants.  Call the store ASAP at (931) 682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com and let us know you want to come. 

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!  If not, just think, only 8 more hours til we can sew some more!!
