Happy December, shop news, classes update, YouTube LIVE Link!
Hello Beautiful Golden Anchor Quilting Community!
Welcome to December! We almost can’t believe it’s really here! Although, with snow on the ground and temps below freezing, it’s hard to deny it!
We will be back on our weekly live broadcast at 6:00pm on Tuesday, December 3, 2024! We will share our plans for the coming new year, and draw our weekly prize winners, share a quilt of the week, and teach a kitchen towel “scarf” for our tutorial. It will be lots of fun!
Click HERE to join us live (or watch later, but only our live viewers get a chance to win our weekly sample).
This week at the shop on Wednesday we expect our All Inclusive learn to quilt students to finish their first quilt tops, and check them in for long arming! Thursday is an open sew day, with open spots for folks to join in the social sewing time! Saturday is our First annual ornament swap, stop by and check out all of the creativity the 16 participants are bringing to the party! (If you compliment the ornaments, we might even share some of our holiday snacks!) Sunday is our next Mobile Sharpening day with Rick from Absolute Edge! We are so sure your scissors and pinking shears have been worked to the blade getting ready for the holidays, come give them a spa day with Rick while you shop, or drop them off this week and pick up later! Sunday we also have one of our pillow case classes! These are beginner friendly, and a great experience for all to enjoy! There’s still room to register and join the fun!
Next week we have our monthly binding party on Tuesday, December 10. We are hosting another local shop’s holiday gathering in our classroom, and teaching them some basic sewing skills with the 10 minute table runner on Wednesday. On Thursday, December 12 we have our last 12 Months of Gifts class for this year. We will be making fabric bags styled after the classic T-shirt grocery bag! There is a 10:30am or 4:30pm class for all to enjoy!
The last week before Christmas and New Year we have our last Open sew for the 2024 on Thursday, December 19 from 10:00am-5:00pm. We didn’t plan as many classes in the weeks approaching the holidays, so that we could focus on getting quilts done for our community, and planning a great start to the new year!
The shop will be closed on Tuesday, December 24 and Wednesday, December 25. We will also be closed on Tuesday, December 31 and Wednesday, January 1, 2025.
The January class calendar is already pretty full, and we are working on February and March too! We have some quilt series, another round of Tippy Tote making, our guest instructor from She Gnomes is offering two opportunities to make your very own gnome, we have a table runner, and are continuing our 12 months of gifts, pillow case classes, and our open sew times! (We are pretty sure that was a run-on sentence, but there are just so many cool classes to talk about!)
ClickHEREto check out the classes, and register for your favorites before they fill up!
When we get the February and March classes booked, we will send out another newsletter! We are planning to include a jelly roll race class, a Galentine’s Day mini retreat, some home decor, and some sewing studio accessories!
Soon we will share with everyone all 12 projects we have planned for next year's 12 months of gifts program, and have a special opportunity for folks to save when they register for 5 or more of the 12 classes!
We will continue to send out weekly reminders when our YouTube live links are ready, and we are so sure we will have some shop news to share in those reminder emails too! We hope you enjoy the new style we are trying out!
We continue to be charmed by the creativity, love, friendship, and support that flows so freely through this community! We hope this finds all of you, and all of yours, well, safe, healthy, happy, and warm!
