Because the COVID-19 cases in the state don't seem to be decreasing, we will continue to be open by appointment only for everyone's safety. Masks are mandatory, as well as hand sanitizing when you come in the door. Masks must cover nose and mouth at all times. If this is difficult for you, please shop on line. Also, if you have been exposed, not feeling well or quarantining, please shop on line. AccuQuilt specials for the month of December: $150 off the Go Big Electric cutter, $100.00 off the Ready Set Go!; $50.00 off the Go Cutter and the Baby Go!; Go Qubes and Companion Qubes, $30.00 off; All other dies 25% off. New dies include the Arkansas Traveler, a pin cushion, and the cutest little Gnome. The Gnome is on back order, as we have sold all of our first shipment. We should have more in within the next two weeks. We can now order AccuQuilt Mask dies for you, and we also have several new dies from AccuQuilt in stock. Some AccuQuilt specials are offered on a weekly basis. 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. Store Sales: As we are encouraging shopping on line, we will continue the 30% off on... regularly priced fabrics, sewing notions over $10.00, kits not already on sale, precuts. Minimum 1 yard cuts, 4 or more fat quarters qualify for 30% off. Because of this large of a discount, free shipping will not apply, unless you purchase $100.00 in full priced items. (gift items, placemats, vendor items, etc.) Of course, picking up your order at our curbside is always free. News: 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. Click the Catalog link at the top of any page on this website to see fabrics, kits, quilts, and other goodies. And check out our Facebook page, as well as the website, for new fabrics and other items. To order fabrics from the web site, you do need to call the store (406-632-4861) . The great thing about calling, is that I can send you close up pictures of the fabrics you are interested in. It takes a bit longer that just being able to place an order on line, but you do get knowledgable personal service as you would with a store visit. An email requesting close up photos with a follow-up phone call will also work. We do now have some 1/8 inch black elastic, 1/4 inch white elastic, and non woven interfacing for masks. Classes and Events: Someone asked me if we are going to be doing our Imagine That Club this year. What do those of you who participated before think? If there is enough interest we will do it again. Maybe this will be over and we can meet in person for the unveiling in 2021. I am thinking of starting something new in 2021, a monthly mailing of goodies for a set price each month. What do you think? Reasonable price, fun stuff. Haven't worked out details yet. No in-store classes are scheduled at this time. We are hoping our April quilt retreats can happen as scheduled in Spring. Any questions, please call or email me. Wishing you all a very safe, healthy and happy holiday season. We do have 2021 calendars available. |
Saturday classes are all day classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and running until 4:30 p.m. |
|
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. |
Stack n' Whack: With the fun Stack and Whack technique, every block is different. Example quilts on this website are #6-955, #6-912, #6-989, this red, black, and white one, this pink, blue, and yellow one, and , #6-1331. This class will be covered on two Saturdays. 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. |
Rag Quilt: Rag quilts are comforting classics. Example quilts on this website are #6-1024, #6-927, and #6-917. 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. |
