Store procedure: Appointments are no longer required. We have updated our mask requirements. If you are fully vaccinated, you do not have to wear a mask. If not, masks are still required. They must cover nose and mouth at all times. If this is difficult for you, or if you have been exposed to Covid or are experiencing any signs of illness, please shop online. This will be on the honor system, and we respectfully ask that you comply for the safety of our other customers and our staff. Thanks for your cooperation! For more than 3 or 4 coming, a heads-up a few days before is helpful so that we can have two people working. * * * * * 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. Regularly priced fabric (minimum 1 yard cuts), kits not already on sale, sewing notions over $10.00, and precuts will be 25% off through the month of July. The discount may decrease in the future with additional increased costs of goods, as well as shipping costs. We are still continuing to receive notifications of increases from our fabric suppliers. Finish a bolt of SALE fabric and it is half off the original price. AccuQuilt Specials - please call to hear the current special. A new 4 inch Qube is now available. Setting triangle dies are now available for all sizes of the Qubes. Flamingo die is also available. If you see a special that AccuQuilt is offering, give me a call to see if we can offer it. News: New fabrics are continuing to arrive Today, June 28, we received a cute Halloween panel from Moda with two coordinating fabrics. Two more are on backorder. A limited number of flannels were added to the sale fabrics to make room for the Benartex flannels that have been coming it. They have a wool look and are available in a variety of colors. We will have the full line within a few months. 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. My Mystery Mailing started in January. Each mailing includes $60.00 to 65.00 worth of goodies. If mailed, the cost will be $45.00, or you may pick your bundle up at the store for $37.00. The mystery mailing will include fun stuff, and will change from month to month. It could be a fun project, could be a box of goodies, it could be anything; that's the fun part of mysteries. June's mailing was a set of 5 acrylic templates from Moda which help cut jelly rolls, 2 mini strip rolls from QT fabrics with matching fat quarters and a yard of coordinating fabric from Benartex. Hmmmm, now what can I come up with for July? Haven't even started to think about it. I may run out of ideas by the end of the year. Classes and Events: Our October Quilt retreats are full, but if you would like to be placed on a waiting list, please let me know, in case we have anyone cancel. Classes are still up in the air. I have thought about restarting the GO! Cutter Club; if you are interested, please let me know and we will set a date. When you let me know, tell me a day that works best for you. |

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.

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. |
