Santa Surprise

Just wanted to share a photo of our little 'Santa Surprises' that we gave to our Thimbleberries Club members. These santas were little ornaments made from vintage crazy quilt pieces and were quick to make.

New Arrival

Haven't stopped by the shop lately? You are really missing out! New fabric is arriving - both from the fall lines and from our market orders - just in time to create a special handmade gift for the special people on your Christmas list. The latest to arrive is "Wild Rose" by Blackbird Designs for Moda. The soft palette of this collection just oozes romance!

Cute, Cute, Cute

These kitties are just too cute for words. Two kitty friends frolic in the garden on a beautiful day without a care in the world in this charming collection - "A Tale of Two Kitties" - by Jacqueline Paton for Red Rooster Fabrics. The collection uses delicate, muted shades of slate blue, leaf green, terracotta brown and other natural hues. Perfect not only for clothing and bags, but also for quilts like the project pattern we are featuring at the shop.

BABs, BOMs & Mysteries

We're busy working on lots of fun programs for 2011 and now is the time to get signed up for the fun! At market, we signed up for Marti Michell's "The Romance Continues" Block of the Month program. We're offering it in two colorways - the yellow and blue of Marti's newest collection of fabric, Wild Roses II, and in pink and black of Marti's first Wild Roses collection. Belinda will be the instructor.

We're also starting a Mystery Quilt Club in 2011. The mystery quilt is called "A Quilter's Journey" and you can 'Travel by Day' which features a light background or 'Travel by Night' which features a dark background. Participants will get to select their own fabrics, so we'll kick off the program with a 'Pickin' Party' in January where we'll help everyone select their 4 fabrics for their quilt. Then at each monthly meeting, you'll receive the 'clues' (pattern instructions) to assemble your quilt and solve the mystery of what it will look like. At the end of the 8 months of 'clues', we'll end with a Mystery Reveal where everyone will show their completed quilt tops. Price for the program is dependent on the fabric selected and the size of quilt made, plus $25 for the monthly clues. Sharla will be the instructor for this club.

Last but not least, our Buck A Block program kicked off in November, but it's not too late to join. We've added more colorways because we've sold out of most of the original ones, so stop in and see our new colorways and sign up for one or two! Cost of the program is $1 per month ($3 per month for additional colorways) when you bring in your finished block from the previous month, plus the finishing kits. This program does not have a meeting, so you can stop in anytime during the month to pick up your block kit. Janet and Deb are managing this program.

Stop in and check out all of our 2011 programs!
