New Classes:
The 2019 Block of the Month will be in two color-ways. Pictured is 'Grey'.
These sample blocks are from the other colorway, 'Salt & Pepper' which features Marcia Derse's 'Art History' collection and an Essex fabric for the background. It is brighter and has a more contemporary feel.
The new Big Stitch 2019 class begins in February. This is our sample in process. The background and appliqué are complete. More hand stitching will be added as we progress.
A new class this winter is the Tunic Bible taught by Pam Ehlers. She will help you use the book by the same title to make your tunic all your own. In the picture Jamie is wearing on of our 100% linen fabrics and I'm in a double gauze. They are both so yummy!

New Arrivals & Pattern Correction
Hi Everyone,
Sometimes I have mental blocks. We all do. But this one of mine was really bad. I made another mistake on the Animal Pillow pattern. Even though I corrected one mistake in a previous email I still had a customer find another in the cutting instructions (read the next paragraph if you wish to know more about how I made the mistake). The correction is that you need to cut twice as many rectangles out of the grunge dot fabrics: Four at 4½" x 7½" and four at 4½" x 11½". This is possible with the fat quarter you were given. Cut four 4½" strips- cut them at 4¼" if they are a little too tight for 18" across the fat quarter. 4¼ will be fine for what you need to make. No matter what, they need to be perpendicular to the selvage. Next cut one rectangle of each size out of each strip. Read the next paragraph if you a curious about how this happened. Otherwise, skip to the new arrivals.
I think I have had more problems with the pillow patterns because I am making the pillows as well as writing the pattern. Usually someone else is making the quilts rather than myself. For this pattern I had help with figuring out the rectangle sizes and how to piece the block, although there were no cutting instructions. I figured out how to put the pillow together and then about a week later went to write the pattern and misread the instructions I had been given. Totally my bad. Since the process for these pillows was different and I was rushing it to have it out for my regular customers prior to the MN Shop Hop things got overlooked. It is so hard to proof your own work!
New Arrivals:
'Birds of Paradise' by Shirley Copperwhite is a new collection from Camelot Fabrics. Purchase it here on the website.
I only purchased this one fabric from the 'Elliot Ave' collection from Cloud 9 Fabrics. Click here to see it on the website.
We have a couple of collections from Art Gallery. This is 'Little Clementine'.
This is 'Virtuosa' by Bari J, also from Art Gallery. Purchase both collections here on the website.
We haven't seen a lot from Moda lately, but these blenders are nice. This is 'Metropolis'.
And this is 'Mixologie'. Click here to purchase both collections on the website.
See you soon,
