Fall Quilt Retreat

Morning Everyone!

I have had several questions about our fall quilt retreat at Becky's Barn in Grimsley, Tennessee.  Fortunately, I believe we have all our spaces filled at the moment.  If you are interested in participating, please let us know.  If we have people who aren't going to be able to make it, we would very much like to have alternates available who would like to join us for this fun event.

This is the same place we went last year, and anyone who joined us then will tell you what a gorgeous place it is, and how much fun we all had.  If you want to look up the place, go to Google and look up Becky's Barn.  She has pictures of the place inside and out. 

As I said, please let us know if you are interested in being put on the list.  We would love to have all 14 spots full by the time we go.  The quilt retreat is scheduled from August 30th through September 3rd, 2016.

Everyone have a great week!


Quilts from El's Kitchen Block of the Month

Morning Everyone!

I am so sorry it has been such a long time since we have been able to post.  My husband (who built this great website) was having technical issues which have only now been solved.  I will try to do better to keep everyone up to date on the happenings from our shop!

Last Saturday, we started our new Block of the Month, Quilts from El's Kitchen.  This has been our biggest hit to date and we are so excited about having so many wonderful quilters join our Block of the Month, some for the first time!  We started with a quick meeting and then those who chose to stay for our Sit and Sew got busy.  Of the sixteen ladies who came, ten of them decided to stay with us to sew.  We had an absolutely marvelous time.  Of the ten who sewed, I believe five of them got both blocks completed.  There is nothing quite so much fun for a quilter, than to come together as a group and sew, talk, laugh, learn tips and tricks.  It is great!

We took a few pictures of some of our participants with their completed blocks and/or sewing...









As tax time is upon us, I am so bummed that I won't get to see everyone for a couple of months, but I am very excited to see your blocks when I get back the end of April!

Thank you again, Ladies, for making this Block of the Month start the funnest ever!!!

A quick note, the Block of the Month Sit and Sew on March 26th will start at 1p.m.  Since I am not going to be able to be there, Sandra doesn't want her walk in customers taking time away from her being available to help ya'll with any questions you may or may not have.  Also, we will be providing drinks and snacks, but if there is something you want to bring and share with everyone, please do. 

Hope everyone has a great week, and thanks for stopping by!
