Block of the Month 2022: Bed size, pick up
This year's block of the month is made from Australian fabrics and batiks! It will give you a choice of making either a lap size (60" x 60") or a bed size (84" x 84"). IMPORTANT: Please read all the details in the newsletter. ALSO IMPORTANT: You can't sign up online anymore because of the way the system works, but if you call the shop, we can take care of adding you. The sign up here is for the 84" x 84" BED SIZE, with IN-STORE PICKUP (not mailed). You may either make an appointment to pick up, or do curbside pickup. Packets will be ready between 10:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. pickup on each Saturday listed. If a particular day doesn't work, just make an appointment to pick up at another time.

Walking-Foot Quilting

Walking-Foot Quilting
Let's go beyond the X-across squares! Learn to use your walking foot to its best advantage to quilt your pieces. Squiggles, circles, and lines are all fun ways to quilt; Cynthia will show you just what to do. Supplies: Sewing machine, recently cleaned and oiled, with a new needle (I recommend a Microtex #80/12); walking foot for your machine; three 12" x18" quilt sandwiches--cotton fabric on the top and bottom (muslin is a terrific choice), cotton batting in the middle, and basted together in the way you prefer (e.g., pins or spray-basted); a small project on which to practice quilting with your walking foot (e.g., a placemat, table runner, or wall hanging), basted and ready to quilt; 50 weight cotton thread in a color that contrasts with your fabric sandwiches; 1" blue painter?s tape; small ruler such as a hem gauge; basic sewing supplies; and Jacquie Gering's book Walk: Master Machine Quilting with Your Walking Foot, which you can get at the shop. Time: Thursday, Feb. 17, 6-8 p.m. on Zoom. Cost: $28 plus supplies.
