Shop Update

We are so excited about having the classroom booked all week! The Pumpkin Hollow table runner Tuesday, All Wrapped Up 2.0 dachshund quilt series starts Wednesday, 12 months of gifts is on Thursday, and The Beach House series starts on Friday! 

The All New England Shop Hop continues to keep us hopping! We have now welcomed over 400 shop hoppers! There is still time to get a magazine and participate in the shop hop! It goes through 10/31/24. Even if you aren’t planning to hop during this timeframe, having the magazine is a great resource as you travel around the rest of the year. 

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!

Come make a Tippy Tote with us! On Friday October 18, or Friday, November 8, or Saturday, November 9! This is part of our Sassy Sunflower Half-Pack-Quilt program. We just love how quickly and easily these work up! Great teacher gift! Great gift for anyone really! (Even yourself ???? )

The Great stocking class will be on Saturday, October 19! We wanted to get the class done in time that when you find you want to make more stockings, you have time! The stocking is wonderfully oversized, and Lynne G has all the tips and tricks to make them wonderful! 

Monday, October 21 the shop will be closed to the general public, as it is our normally closed day, but anyone can sign up to join us in our Project Linus Blanketeer Event! We have 8 spots for folks with sewing machines, and infinite spots for folks with camp chairs to knit, crochet, tie fleece, or otherwise create without machines! Light refreshments will be served, and we will offer help coordinating an order for delivered lunch should folks choose that route. Let’s see how many blankets we can make in one day! Registration is free, but we ask that you do register so that we can plan for refreshments and space!

October 27 is our next Mobile sharpening day with Rick from Absolute Edge Mobile Sharpening! Bring your scissors, shears, and pinking shears to the shop! Rick will sharpen them while you shop! Can’t make it that day, drop off your pairs to be sharpened ahead of time, and pick them up any day after the 27th! Just $10/pair! Rick does an awesome job!

T-shirt and memory fabric quilting series will run Saturdays November 2, 16, and 30th! We will take you from t-shirt/memory fabric to a complete quilt top in this three day class series!

We decided on a date for the Holiday Ornament Exchange! Join us December 7th for the swap and some festive refreshments! Registration will close on November 16 so we can give everyone a final head count in time to make ornaments! 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 will cap the event at 24 participants, so that it doesn’t get too overwhelming! 

This week:

Tuesday: 

The Pumpkin Hollow Table runner starts this week, with an optional add on class next week to learn how to do edge-to-edge quilting on the classroom Luminaires.

Join us live for our weekly YouTube broadcast at 6:00pm! This week we will share shop news, upcoming classes, a quilt of the week, draw our weekly $10 gift card winner for folks who paid with cash or check, teach you how to make a quick and easy tree ornament, and draw a winner for the sample we sew on this week’s broadcast. Click HERE to join us live, or watch later if you happen to miss the live!

Wednesday: 

This is the start of our All Wrapped Up 2.0 Daschound themed quilt series! Ann Blackburn is teaching for us, and we’ve got some wonderful lunches planned during this three week series! There is still room in this class! Come play! 

Thursday: 

Our Twelve months of gifts classes are at 10:30am and 4:30pm this week. We will be making zipper pouches using samples from a local decorator, a fat quarter, and a zipper. All materials are included in this $25 class!

Friday: 

Friday evening we continue our journey with our latest group of All Inclusive Learn to Quilt students! This is the week we finish the 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! We have posted another series of these classes starting Wednesdays at 1:30pm on October 30, and the series will finish December 18, just in time for the holidays! Who do you know who wants to learn how to quilt? 

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!
