Good Morning Everyone:
For those of you who come to the shop regularly (or irregularly as well), my name is Margaret and I am Sandra's sister-in-law. I am the one responsible for piecing all those T-shirt quilts, baby quilts, rag quilts and any other quilt you can imagine for our wonderful customers. However, T-shirt quilts have become quite popular and I have had a lot of practice. Since June is my birthday month, I am offering a 15% discount on piecing a T-shirt quilt for you. It seems everyone has a stack of T-shirts that belong to either themselves or their family who love, baseball, football, Nascar, Harley Davidson, vacations, etc. Gather them up and bring them in and we will put together that T-shirt quilt for that special someone in your life, or even for yourself. The 15% discount is good on any size quilt from twin to queen.
I look forward to seeing you all real soon, and Happy June!
Margaret

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!
Good Day Everyone!
First and foremost, I want to take a moment to thank all the brave people all over the world in all branches of our military for the unstinting loyalty, bravery and heroism they portray each and every day on behalf of those of us still here at home. To their families and all who love them, we want you to know that we remember them and thank them for all the sacrifices they have made on behalf of all citizens of the United States of America. WE WILL NOT FORGET!!!!
Now, for a few more mundance matters in our quilting world. First off, the Mother-Child class that was scheduled for last Saturday, May 19th was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. For all those people interested in taking this class, we will be scheduling it for Saturday, August 11th from 9:30 - 11:00. The price will be the same, $15 per pair. We need to know you will be taking the class no later than Wednesday, August 8th.
We also have a Beginners Quilting Class beginning Saturday, June 23rd through Saturday, July 28th, except for the July 4th weekend. This five week class is for those who have always wanted to try quilting, but haven't yet. We will begin with the basics of piecing, piece several different types of blocks and piece the blocks together to make your first quilt top. We need a minimum of 3 participants for this class to go ahead as scheduled (maximum class size is four persons), so call and let us know you are interested no later than Wednesday, June 20th. If you have signed up and we don't have enough participants, we will call and let you know either Wednesday afternoon or Friday morning.
Don't forget the Tennessee fabric challenge from last Fall's Shop Hop. The projects are due to us for judging no later than June 1st. Since Carousel Krafts is closing their doors, anyone who was going to submit projects there are welcome to bring them to me. When you are in the shop, make sure and vote for your favorite.
For all our loyal Saturday clients, we wanted to let everyone know that we will be closing at 12:00 p.m. this Saturday, May 26th. We have a class scheduled on the new long-arm quilting machine program for us, and boy are we excited!!!
Also, in case anyone is still in need of Bradley tomato plants, stop by and see us. The cups are $1.00 each and these tomato plants are large ones, so stop by and see our selection.
Again, thanks so much to all our loyal customers, and have a HAPPY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY weekend.

Good Morning Everyone!
Well, I think spring has finally, definitely sprung! This hot/rain/cold cycle is playing havoc with all our spring planting (or at least mine, anyway).
We wanted to let you know about some upcoming classes, post a few pictures for ya'll to look and let you know what else you can look forward to in the next few months.
We wanted to show you a couple of pictures of some new T-shirt quilts Ms. Margaret has made in the last few weeks. This has proven to be ever popular in quilting circles, and a wonderful way to make a one of a kind gift for someone in your life. We have used T-shirts, baby clothes, dance outfits, etc. We can make it in any size, from lap to king (providing you have enough shirts, of course). Call and let us know if we can help you make a lovely, one of a kind gift for that special person in your life.
This is a T-shirt quilt Ms. Margaret made for a client of ours using his collection of shirts from racing events. We have done T-shirt quilts with football shirts, baseball shirts, Harley Davidson shirts, just about anything and everything you can think of.
We also have some upcoming classes for our clients. We have been collecting some ideas that ya'll have given us, and have set a series of classes accordingly. Remember, we have room enough only for four people sewing in our classroom, so if you are interested, make sure and call and let us know so we can reserve your spot. Supply lists will be ready once payment is received for the class scheduled.
The first class will be Saturday, May 19th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This is our Mother-Child quilting class (or it can be Aunt and Child, Grandmother and Child, etc.). We will be making a pillow in this class that your child can enjoy for years to come, most especially because it was made with someone they love. The cost of the class is $15 per adult/child combo.
Our next series of classes will begin June 23rd and run for five Saturdays (except for the July 4th weekend). It will end on July 28th, 2012. The cost of this series of classes is $15 per class or $75 for the five week series. It will be for those who have always wanted to try a quilting project, but haven't yet managed to do so. We will begin with the very basics of piecing, piece several blocks and then sew the blocks together. At the end of the class, you will have your first quilt top ready to be quilted.
We are also planning on having a class on machine applique and our new Hearts and Stars pattern (see below for a picture). More details about these classes will be forthcoming in a few weeks. Remember to keep look back here for additional information. Flyers will also be available at the shop in the future.
We are always looking for ideas about classes you want to take. Please let us know if there is something you are interested in specifically.
Also, as a side note, we have just come back from a fabric shopping trip, so stop by and see what we have new. We also have some kits pre-made for the Hearts and Stars pattern using our 30's reproduction line called Emma Lena's Treasures.
Thanks so much to all of our clients, and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
Sandra (and her Elves)
P.S. My husband, Larry, has gone on a planting spree; we are talking feverish garden gnome planting. We have lots of Bradley tomato plants he is selling for $1.50 a cup. These are good sized tomato plants. We also have other vegetables and herbs, so come by and take a look!
Thanks again!

Happy Spring
Hello everyone, It's been such beautiful weather. Today was gorgeous. We've been working on our new project with the Emma Lenna fabrics. I think we have all the bugs out of the pattern, and will be making kits for it soon. We went fabric shoping again today and have some new fabrics. We have also made up several new kits.
I would like to thank all my customers for all the business you have given me these last 16 years. Yes it's been 16 years since I first started quilting out of my basement. God has truly blessed me not only with the business but mostly getting to know so many wonderful people. Again thanks to all of you.
Larry has started a new adventure. He and Ginny Drews have been planting seeds like crazy in the green house. Ginny will have heirloom plants and Larry has tomatos, peppers, cucumbers, and lots of other things. We are planing on having a plant, yard, craft, fabric sale one Sat. soon. We may even have some music to top off the day. I will give you the date and more datails soon.

Morning Everyone!
Good Morning Everyone!
I certainly hope you have had a great month of January. The weather temperature wise sure has been a surprise. I don't know about ya'll, but if it doesn't get cold soon, we are going to call this the longest fall season on record!
Wanted to let everyone know that we have lots of new fabric in the shop. We went on a little shopping excursion, and boy did we find some great new treats. We now are carrying the 1930's reproduction line from Choices Fabrics, called Emma Lena's Treasures. For those of you who subscribe to Better Home and Garden's America's Patchwork and Quilting magazine, you can see them on page 87. Come in, and we'll be happy to show you what we have. We have made one quilt kit with this so far, so come see what we have. We also picked up a new line of blenders called Distinctions. Very rich colors from dark purple to red to orange, gold and green. These will make great additions to batik projects, autumnal color schemes or make a quilt featuring just these lovely jewel colors. Stained glass quilt from these would be gorgeous!
We also have several new quilt kits available. We have made a quilt kit for a twin sized Sunbonnet Sue quilt. The Sunbonnet Sue's are precut pieces with our AccuQuilt Go cutter with Steam A Seam already on the back of the pieces. All you have to do is arrange them on the square, iron them down and stitch! Quick, easy and fun. It's like playing with paper dolls again!!!! We can cut Sunbonnet Sue or Farmer Sam out of any fabric you choose, either buy it from us or bring it from home. It is just 50 cents a cut, plus the cost of the Steam a Seam for the back. One cut gives you one Sunbonnet Sue. We also have several different cutting dies for the AccuQuilt Go cutter, including one with different sized hearts, flower and petals, Christmas do-dads, Baby quilt applique cuts, etc. Come in and take a look and see if these will enhance any of your projects.
We will be having some more classes in late spring and summer. Make sure you contact us about a class you would be interested in taking. All ideas are very welcome. Last fall, an idea was put forth regarding machine applique quilting, so that may be an option. We will also do another beginning quilting class if people are interested. That will encompass several weeks. Please give us any ideas you may have regarding classes you would like to take.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week, and please come see all our new fabric on offer. We think you will be very pleased.
Have a Great Day!
