I have the coupons in the store. Any questions on these specials, please give me a call. 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. News: Our AccuQuilt educator event was a huge success. If you are interested in a future event, probably in August 2020, please let me know. My thanks to all who participated! We do have a lovely jean jacket that someone left, please give me a call to claim it. (We had another jacket left, but the owner has notified me.) We will be emailing patterns to those who requested them as soon as Linda is well and back in the store to help with that. We will start a monthly Go Cutter club soon, most likely on a Tuesday. I need to get through the three quilt retreats before I start planning anything else. Look for Go Cutter club information in the November newsletter. A new Imagine That club is starting. Sue Wheeler was this year's winner. I hope to post some photos on the web site soon. (after Quilt retreats) Every Imagine That club participant pays a $5.00 fee and gets the same fat quarter. You can add any fabrics to it, just as long as you use it someplace in the project that your imagination tells you to make. Sue said this year's fabric reminded her of the sea, so she made a mobile using lots of sea related items. Fall Quilt Retreats: Fall Quilt retreats start on the 10th. If you aren't registered already, think about April and October 2020. The 2019 Fall retreats are 3 weekends in a row, starting on Thursday, October 10. Please call for availability, and probably be placed on a waiting list. 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 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. 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. Classes and Events: October 5 - UFO October 10-11-12-13 - quilting retreat #1, Thursday-Sunday October 17-18-19-20 - quilting retreat #2 October 24-25-26-27 - quilting retreat #3 October 28 - I'll be at Gally's for a much needed beer with hubby, just kidding, I love doing the quilt retreats.

Any questions, please give me a call. - Diana |

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. |
