For store news and subscriber coupons, please ask to be on my mailing list - here's the link to contact methods, so you can send me your email address. Store Sales: October Special - 20% off regular priced fabrics, precuts, kits, and panels. Sale fabrics continue to be half off the original price if you finish the bolt. Look for weekly in-store specials posted on the board as you come in the store. AccuQuilt specials - These will start on October 10 and change weekly. Because these are the same specials AccuQuilt is doing, I can't tell you early. Two new dies are in, spool and wonky heart. Fun new things are coming! News: A new Imagine That club has started. Everyone gets the same fat quarter for $5.00. You can make whatever your imagination tells you (except pot holders are not allowed.) We had some fun projects at our unveiling party in September. I will put pictures on the web site as soon as possible. For those of you attending quilt retreats, I will have the pictures with me, along with the new fat quarter. Next year's party will be September 8. 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 this month - October 13th, 14th, and 15th, and the following weekend, October 20th-21st-22nd. These two retreats will each feature a trunk show on Applique.

Cost will be increasing slightly to 175.00. I don't know what our themes will be yet, but your cost includes 4 meals and at least one kit. Bedding and towels are furnished. If you have never been to the Barnsion, it is a wonderful facility and I wish I could take one of their beds home with me.

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) |

|
Beginning Quilting: Learn the basics with an easy pattern. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Disappearing Nine Patch: Eyes are fooled by this clever Nine Patch technique. Example quilts on this website are this pink one, this one with fish, #6-1034, #6-1102, and #6-1204. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |

The second Saturday's date and activities will be determined by what works for the students in the class. The class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
One Block Wonder: A One Block Wonder quilt is based on 6 layers of fabric with a 24 inch repeat. Quilt pieces are cut with a similar technique to those of a Stack and Whack quilt, but the blocks are sewn together differently. Example quilts on this website are #6-1052, #6-1309, and #6-1335. This class may be covered on two Saturdays. If needed, the second Saturday's date and activities will be determined by what works for the students in the class. The class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Needle Turn Applique: Needle turn applique is a hand applique technique. Learn needle turn applique with a small project that can be turned into a pillow, table center, or quilt section. An example quilt on this website is #6-489. Needle Turn Applique is an all-day Saturday class, starting at 9:30 a.m. |
Raw Edge Applique: Students in my Raw Edge Applique class make a wall hanging, using a McKenna Ryan pattern. An example on this website is #6-878. This Saturday class runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m. |

Monday Club projects: |
Block Of The Month Club: In 2010, we tackled "The Farmer's Wife", a spectacular quilt made with six inch blocks. See a better picture here. Block of the Month was first offered on Monday nights in 2010, was back by popular demand in 2012 - again in 2013 - and again in 2014. |
GoGo Club: Come in and play with the GO! Cutter and dies. Quilts on this website made with the GO! Cutter are the Bugs quilt #6-1066, this geometric quilt #6-1067, and the rag quilt #6-1024. GoGo Club was a Monday night club in 2010. |
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. |
