The All New England Shop Hop continues to keep us hopping! We have now welcomed over 250 shop hoppers! As we approach our 300th shop hopper we are still enjoying meeting new folks, hiding turtles around the shop to be found, and keeping the candy bowl well stocked! We welcomed our farthest shop hoppers last week, from New Zealand!!!! 

Geneva has been busy making beautiful displays! If you haven’t been in for a while, it’s like a whole new shop! 

We have lots of kits that would make great holiday gifts, and some on sale as much as 40% off! We restocked jelly rolls, layer cakes, and charm packs recently too! 

We have so many beautiful quilts coming in for long arm services! It's getting closer to the time when we will have to make the cut off for quilts that Darren can have done in time to be bound and given as holiday gifts! We aren't there yet, but more quilts come in every day! If there is something you know you want quilted in time for holiday giving, please get it checked in soon! If you need some dedicated sewing time to get the tops done, join us for a Thursday open sew!

Before we share what is going on this week, we want to help you look a little further out in your calendars and see what you will enjoy!

Pumpkin Hollow Table Runner from VIlla Rosa Designs! This class will guide you through making a wonderful pumpkin table runner, and has an optional add on class to learn how to edge-to-edge quilt on the Luminaire machines in our classroom! Sherry Greene is teaching this class, and has some great tips and tricks for folks in these classes! First class is October 8, 2024, second is October 15, 2024. Both are Tuesdays!

All Wrapped Up Quilt class will help you make an adorable, jelly roll friendly, dog quilt for the dog lover in your life! Anne Blackburn is teaching this series for us on Wednesdays October 9, 16, and 23! Class includes the pattern, instructions, and a discount on long arm service when you check it in with us for quilting!

The Beach House Quilt by Judy Niemyer taught by our Gene Corliss! This paper pieced quilt has been done at the shop before, but this time we are offering kits in teal, coral, and bright colors! Class includes the pattern, instruction, and a discount on long arm services when you check in your completed top for us to quilt. Kits will be available for $115, or you can pick/bring your own fabrics! There is just ONE SPOT LEFT in this class! 

We are planning a holiday ornament exchange party in late November early December! In case you don’t know what this is, each participant makes several of one kind of holiday ornament, and brings them to the party. Then each participant gets ornament from each other participant. If there are 24 people participating, you come in with 24 of your ornament, and leave with 24 different ornaments made by other folks in the party! We figured we should let folks know ahead of time that we are planning this, even though we don’t have all the details worked out yet, so that you can start searching for an ornament that inspires you, that you wouldn’t mind making many of! We will cap the event at 24 participants, so that it doesn’t get too overwhelming! We will let you know when we have posted the party for registration!

We plan to have a T-shirt/memory fabric quilt series in Novebmer. We are trying to figure out which day/time combination will work best for the folks who are most interested. If you have interest in this series, please email or text Louisa to share what day of the week/time of day works best for you. We will plan the class to serve the majority of responses to this inquiry. 

Now for this week!

You can bring your machine, or rent one of ours to sew for $15 or for embroidery for $25! Bring a friend, or two, or make some new ones while you are here!

Friday: This is National Love note day! We are celebrating with a small twist! Leave Golden Anchor Quilting a Google review (AKA Love note) take a screen shot of the review, text it to the shop phone at 603-543-3311 or bring it in and show us, and we will give you 10% off your purchase or text you a coupon code to use online! These google reviews help us climb the Google search ladder when folks search for “quilt shop near me!” 

Friday evening we will continue our journey with our latest group of All Inclusive Learn to Quilt students! This is the week when we will sew together our blocks, and rows, and assemble them into tops! Borders go on, and then we will check them in for long arm quilting! Students will come back on October 11 to learn how to trim and bind their quilts! This series is called All Inclusive because it includes all materials and skills to make a completed quilt in 6 weeks! We will share pictures when their quilts are done!

This weekend at the shop: We are anticipating a particularly busy shop hop weekend, as Sunday is the “regional Sunday” for the Northwest region. More shops in our region stay open for this Sunday, and so more shop hoppers will come to our region. 

We continue to be enchanted with this amazing community and all the beauty that is created in and around us! 

Thank you for your continued support! We look forward to your next visit, and hope you can join us LIVE on Tuesday’s at 6:00pm!

In Stitches, 

Louisa, Darren, and the Crew at Golden Anchor Quilting
