Store Sales:
September Special is 20% off regular priced fabrics, precuts, kits and panels.  Sale fabrics continue to be half off the original price if you finish the bolt.  Lots of new fabrics have come in.  I will be doing a weekly in-store special.  When you come in, be sure and ask what this week's special is.
AccuQuilt specials - lowest price on the Go Cutter though the end of September, regular $249.99, sale price $199.99.  Ask me about the other Go Cutter specials, too.

News:
The Imagine That Club Unveiling Party has been moved up one week to this weekend, September 9 at 11:00 a.m.  (The Rocky Mountain Sewing Festival will be on our original date of September 16.)  Our party will feature lunch and prizes as well as shopping, sharing and other fun.

In the 2017 Row by Row Experience event, you have until September 5th to collect free patterns, and until October 31st to submit a quilt for a prize.

Moda layer cake recipes and cup cake recipes are available.  Layer cake recipes are used with the 10 inch square sets.  Cup cake recipes use 5 inch squares.  This is paper piecing made sooo easy.  It's a great way to use those layer cakes and charm packs that you have purchased.

Quilt Retreats - October 13th, 14th, and 15th, and the following weekend, October 20th-21st-22nd.  These two retreats will each feature a trunk show on Applique.  Two kits will be provided, one for Needle Turn Applique and one for Machine Applique.  Cost is $150.00 for two nights at The Barnsion, five miles east of Harlowton.  You can check it out at TheBarnsion.com.  All bedding and towels are furnished.
  Both retreats this month are full.  We will be doing two again next October, the same weekends.  We will also being doing retreats in April, those dates are not yet set.  If you are interested, let me know as soon as you can.  I will try to get the April dates set this week.

Farmer's Wife quilt

Imagine That Beach Ladies project entry
Join the sewing fun at Diana's Quilts-n-Things!

My quilting groups are friendly gatherings where you can concentrate, share, work, and learn.  My store has special equipment and work space for quilters to use, and lots of materials and patterns.  Come on in to work on your projects - where everything you need is at hand, including new techniques and experienced advice.

PREPARATIONS: If a club or class member is bringing a guest, or if you want to attend a single session, or if you are a class subscriber and want to switch Saturdays, please contact Diana beforehand.

1st Saturday of each month in 2017 is Sew Saturday sewing quilts for charity - all hands are welcome, no fee, potluck.  It does help if you let me know you are planning to attend.  Fabric donations are welcome!

My Imagine That Club is an annual challenge.  Each Imagine That Club participant receives a free fat quarter of a select fabric to inspire a project, and then works at home to create whatever they imagine from it.  An Imagine That project can be a quilt, a wall hanging, or whatever someone wants to make.  There is just one limitation:  "NO potholders, please."  Use your Imagination!  Your project can be any size and may include other fabrics as you like, but it must include at least part of the fat quarter.  (Small pieces count.)  In August or September all the participants will get together for an Unveiling Party with food and prizes.  $5 participation fee, open to anyone.

If you have questions on any of these, please give me a call. (406-632-4861)


Saturday classes are all day classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and running until 4:30 p.m.

Mother and child 12 Months of Holidays:
In 2014, we sewed the 12 Months of Christmas, completing easy Christmas projects including a Christmas stocking, themed wall hangings, coasters, table centers and table mats, and a mug rug.

In 2015, we sewed 12 Months of Holidays.  This included a different project each month and many different techniques.  Kits for the projects were priced at 25% off.  These quick and easy projects help you decorate for holidays, and make seasonal gifts.  To attend for a specific project, pay a class fee, plus the cost of the kit.

March featured a Spring project.
April featured a Paper Pieced table runner for Mother's Day.

To keep up our stamina, each Sew Saturday will feature a pot luck lunch.

GoGo Club was a Monday night club in 2010.

Detail from Progressive quilt Progressive Quilt:
There is no pattern for the progressive quilt - each person creates a quilt center from good quality 100% cotton fabric, and passes the started quilt on to another group member, who adds the next section, and so on.  When a quilt has been completed, with care from everyone in the group, it returns to the person who started it to keep.  There's a better picture of this quilt in the Gallery.

The Progressive Quilt was a Monday night club in 2011.

Scaregirl wall hanging (detail) Seasonal Club:
We enjoy making small projects related to the seasons.  Wall hangings, table runners, and other fun fabric art items make it easy to dress up our homes.

The Seasonal Club was a Monday night club in 2012.
