What a great weekend we had......it was fun and busy!!!! We went fabric shopping Sunday and boy did they have lots of new fabrics from which to choose. We found several new Christmas prints and panels for those who are looking to get an early start on their Christmas projects. We also found a beautiful blue toile and several lovely matching blue fabrics. We have new Judie Rothermel and Faye Burgos, a cute and funky set of chicken fabric......need we go on....
We are also super excited to tell everyone that we are going to have our first Block of the Month club pattern starting right after July 4th. We found the most adorable Halloween Quilt and we just couldn't resist. I am putting a picture below from the quilt packet.....we have gathered the fabric and are beginning to make the kits. If you can, either email us (thequiltingframe@gmail.com) or call us (931-682-3746) and let us know that you are interested in participating so we can be sure we have enough kits available for those who are interested. This is a set of six patterns with associated fabrics and accessories.
This Block of the Month is going to be over a span of three months (the first two packets available for pick up after July 4th) with two pattern packets per month. With the first two packets, you will also receive a pre-printed fabric packet for your quilt blocks, as well as a packet of buttons. We will also provide 4 yards of Steam A Seam for the entire quilt for you to use on the machine applique pieces. A couple of the blocks require minimal hand embroidery, and we will have some embroidery thread available for purchase if you so desire at an additional charge. The cost per month will be $49.95 (remember, this is for two block packets, not one).
Margaret wanted me to let everyone know that her birthday special discount (15% off) for piecing a T-shirt quilt will end come June 30th. Anyone who has been gathering T-shirts for that special someone a quilt (or maybe even yourself), please get them to her by the 30th so you will qualify for her special birthday discount.
We have a couple of new classes upcoming, one for machine applique (and won't that be just perfect for those of us who are working on that new Block of the Month club), as well as a class on our Hearts and Stars pattern. We have a Mother and Child class scheduled for August 11th for those who want to introduce their child (grandchild, niece/nephew, godchild, etc.) to a new past time. The age minimum is 8 years old. We are also considering scheduling a Jelly Roll Race quilt class. For those of you who have collected Jelly Rolls (and who of us haven't), here is a great way make a quilt in a day (literally). Melissa is working on calculating how to make one that will be big enough for a queen sized bed using more than just one Jelly Roll, and hopefully by the time of the class, she can show you that one as well). This is such a quick and easy way to make a gift for someone special, or just because. Make the quilt center, add a border (or two) and you will have a lovely gift that someone will always cherish. As always, there is a minimum of 3 participants required per class to have the class, so be sure and let us know if you are interested. I will post another blog in a few days with dates and times for these upcoming classes.
We are always interested in hearing your ideas about new classes and patterns you would like to see us carry. Please tell us if there is something you would like to have a class on, and we will do our best to accommodate those we can.
Take care everyone, and Happy Quilting!
Sandra (and her Elves)
