For new AccuQuilt specials, you can check the AccuQuilt web site; I honor the specials they list: accuquilt.com/special-offers.html AccuQuilt specials change frequently. You are welcome to give the store a call to see what they are. Often, I can only tell you what that week's special is, one week at a time. I do the same specials AccuQuilt offers, but you get our personal service. Sun Dog Coffee, our little coffee shop with great food, has hours from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. News: FUN NEW EVENT - GUESS WHO'S COMING TO OUR STORE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH. A National Educator from AccuQuilt's home office in Omaha, Nebraska will be in our store on Thursday, September 19th. Two classes will be offered: "GO! Beyond the Basics", and "There's a Die For That". Cost will be $10.00 per class, refundable as store credit the day of the class. An exclusive die will be offered that is only available at the class. I have seen it and it is awesome. These are two hour presentations. More information on the events will be on our web site, and hopefully on our Facebook page. September 19th will be a fun and exciting event that you won't want to miss. Early signups (with payment) will go into a drawing for a special prize the day of the event. No limit on the number attending, in fact, the more the merrier. Bring friends - and for each friend signing up with payment, you will have an additional chance to win. There is also an AccuQuilt trunk show featuring some of the dies. For those of you not as familiar with your cutter as you could be, or especially if you haven't purchased one yet, I will be offering a free class on the Basics (choose July 11th or 13th) that you should attend prior to the event. Our new Imagine That Club started in September with a new fat quarter. It's not too late to join the fun. Your $5.00 payment for the fat quarter joins the prize pool for the year. Our project unveiling date will be September 6, 2019. Everyone gets the same fat quarter, to make whatever their imagination tells them to (except pot holders.) The fat quarter material can be combined with any other fabrics, as long as it is used in the project. Fall Quilt Retreats: My quilt retreats are held at The Barnsion, five miles east of Harlowton. It's a wonderful facility, with bedding and towels furnished. 2019's quilt retreats have been expanded to three evenings instead of just two. Come in on Thursday, leave on Sunday. The cost has increased to $235 because of the extra night and an extra breakfast. Each retreat will include three nights at the Barnsion, three breakfasts, two evening meals, games, prizes, and at least one kit for a small project. This year's project will be a set of coasters, paper pieced, using freezer paper. You will also have access to the AccuQuilt electric cutter and dies. These are "sew on your own" projects; you should bring whatever you want to sew, although I try to have a fun new project that you can make and take home. The 2019 Fall retreats will be 3 weekends in a row, starting on Thursday, October 10. If you are already signed up, you need to think about paying your deposit to hold your spot, prior to August 15. No refunds issued after October 1. If you are still thinking about attending, please call for availability and to be placed on a waiting list. The October 2019 dates will be 10th-11th-12th-13th, October 17th-18th-19th-20th (12 participants only), and October 24th-25th-26th-27th. I like to keep the retreats small with a maximum of 15. Any questions or to sign up, please call the store at 406-632-4861. Don't forget Northcott's Stonehenge Block Party, which started March 15th. Block kits are available at participating shops until September 30th, and the quilt must be submitted by December 31st 2019. Check their web site, Northcott.com, or ask me for details. You could win a trip to England.

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. |

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. |
