Store Sales:
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.

Our special from now through the end of January is 30% off regularly priced fabrics, minimum one yard cuts.  Kits, precuts, and panels not already on sale are 25% off.  Finish a bolt of sale fabric, and the price will be half off the original price.  Sewing notions over $10.00 are 20% off.  Sale prices do include the new fabrics that just came in - be tempted; they are beautiful!

AccuQuilt specials - select dies are discounted up to 40% off.  I will have a list available shortly.  GoMe's, regularly priced at $99.99, are $49.98 until my current limited stock is gone.  These are what used to be called the Baby Goes, and they are being discontinued by AccuQuilt.
  My GO! Cutter Club meets on January 4 and January 7.  There's a new project each month.  This club will continue to be held the first Tuesday and Saturday of each month.  The club meets at 10:00 a.m.  Please let me know your interest a few days ahead of time if you can, so I know how many are coming.  (I know that will be a tough one for January.)
  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:
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year.  We are closed January 1 and 2, for month end and year end.  Back to regular hours starting January 3.

Winners in our late November, early December drawing are Renee Carlson, Roundup; Melinda Vennard, White Sulphur Springs; Colleen Smith, Shawmut; Kay Martin, Two Dot; and Sharrie Galt, Martinsdale.  Winners, you can pick up your gifts next time you are in the store.

A new Tuesday-or-Saturday GO! Cutter Club started December 3rd & 7th.  This month's January dates are Saturday the 4th and Tuesday the 7th.  Call the store for details.  Class starts at 10:00 a.m.

New UFO group starting for 2020 - (UFO = UnFinished Objects)  I furnish either soup or salad.  Whoever doesn't have their project done brings a dessert.  Make a list of 6 projects you want to finish in 2020.  Call me or stop in, in early January, with your list, and I will let you know which number you need to finish.  Our first meeting will be February 15th.  Lunch is at 12:00, but you can come early to shop or visit.

2020 Quilt retreats - Cost is $250.00 for three nights, 5 meals, 1 kit.  Retreat spaces are filling fast.  Pay the deposit to hold your spot.  If you are thinking of attending, please call for availability and possibly be placed on a waiting list.   Quilt retreat openings - As of New Year's Day, there's still one opening in the April 16, 17, 18, and 19 retreat.  Seven openings in April 23, 24, 25, 26.  Five openings for October 1, 2, 3 and 4.  October 15, 16, 17, 18 and October 23, 24, 25, 26 are full, but you can be put on a waiting list for those two retreats.  Cost is $250.00, the retreat includes 3 nights at the Barnsion, 5 meals, prizes, and 1 kit.
  My quilt retreats are held at The Barnsion, five miles east of Harlowton.  It's a wonderful facility, with bedding and towels furnished.  2020's quilt retreats are three evenings; come in on Thursday, leave on Sunday.  I like to keep the retreats small with a maximum of 15.
  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.  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.

Farmer's Wife quilt

2017 Imagine That project
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.

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.

Sew Saturday quilts for charity. Sew Saturday:
Sew Saturday is sewing quilts to donate for charity fund raisers.  Some quilts will be going to the Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch, some to Special K Ranch in Columbus, some to A Safe Place in Helena, which is for Military women suffering from Post Traumatic Stress, and others where ever else we feel they can be used.
  All hands are welcome, no fee, potluck.  If you can, please let me know by the day before, if you would like to participate.  Fabric donations are welcome!
To keep up our stamina, each Sew Saturday will feature a pot luck lunch.

AccuQuilt logo

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.

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.
