Store procedure:
Appointments to shop at Diana's Quilts-n-Things in person are not required.

SPECIALS
Sales - 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 January.  Finish a bolt of SALE fabric and it is half off (50%) the original price.  All wine and beer motif fabrics are 30% off, minimum 1 yard cuts.

I have added a number of kits at 50% off, and more fabrics to the sale area.  Now is a good time to stock up, as I have had notices from at least two of our suppliers of more price increases.  The Shannon Cuddle fake furs are 30% off.  If you like these, now is the time to buy them; Shannon will not be making more, due to the increased cost to manufacture them.  Limited supply on hand.  (The 30% sale does not apply to those in the foyer that are already on sale.)

30% off on all panels not already on sale.  BUT, the panels on sale at 30% off DO NOT include the new seasonal panels from Hoffman that include the panel *and* 42 inches of a matching fabric - they will remain at 25% off.  (Still a pretty good sale)  We currently have January, February and March's panels.  There will be one for every month of the year, with additional ones arriving in January.  These are really fun.  I have already taken January's and February's, and made a quilt of each.

AccuQuilt specials - We have received notice that AccuQuilt was purchased by a company that specializes in e-commerce.  I do not know what that means for us Signature dealers.  We will continue to do in-store specials.  Any questions, give me a call.

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.

NEWS
New fabrics are continuing to arrive.  Right now I have several boxes in the foyer that have not been unpacked, and a bunch more that need to be photo'd for the web site.  We are still seeing delays in shipping.

Quilt Retreats for 2022:  Cost remains at $250 for three nights at the Barnsion, outside of Harlowton.  (unless food takes a drastic increase)  To guarantee your spot, a deposit of half that is required.  I already have people signed up, but there are openings in both April and October.
Dates:  April 7 - 10; April 21 - 24; October 13 - 16; October 20 - 23, 2022

My Mystery Mailing started in January 2021 and will continue this year, as I have people who wanted to participate again this year.  Each mailing includes $60.00 to 70.00 worth of goodies.  If mailed, the cost will be $50.00, or you may pick your bundle up at the store for $42.00.  Each mystery mailing includes fun stuff, and changes 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.  We did have to increase the cost this year due to several increases in postage, as I pay the shipping costs on the mystery mailings.

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.

CLASSES
No GO! Cutter club meeting in January.  I have a fabric representative coming that day, and I also want to see what is in store with AccuQuilt.  No classes are scheduled at this time, due to another variant of Covid.  I am sure all of us just wish it would go away.

Stay safe and healthy out there.
- Diana

MASK POLICY
We welcome masked shoppers to browse Diana's.  Click here for mask policy details and accommodations.
- As before, if more than 3 or 4 shoppers are coming, a heads-up a few days before is helpful, so that we can have two people working.

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.

January featured a Valentine's Day wall hanging, using reverse applique.
February featured a Easter project.
March featured a Spring project.
April featured a Paper Pieced table runner for Mother's Day.
May featured a Tumbler block flag for July.
August featured a "stained glass" table runner.
September featured a turkey placemat.
October featured An American In Paris table runner.

This Saturday activity runs all day, starting at 9:30 a.m.

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

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.
