SPECIALS Sales - Regularly priced fabric (minimum 1 yard cuts), kits not already on sale, precuts, and sewing notions over $10.00 - will be 25% off through the whole month of April. Finish a bolt of SALE fabric and it is half off (50%) the original price. AccuQuilt specials - Please give me a call or ask about these. 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 We have all 13 Hoffman Seasonal panels with attached yardage. That's one for each month and an extra "Home Sweet Home" one. Other great new fabrics arriving what seems to be weekly. Arrivals are finally coming in when expected with less shipping delays. Now I just need more space, which means fabrics are also being added to the sale section. * Quilt Retreats for 2022: Cost remains at $250 for three nights at the Barnsion, outside of Harlowton, 3 breakfasts, two evening meals, a special small project, and lots of fun. Towels and bedding are furnished. To guarantee your spot, a deposit of half that is required. I already have people signed up, but there are openings in both of October's. Vaccination is required. Dates: October 13 - 16; October 20 - 23, 2022 I do have the April 2023 date and I think October 2023. We will just be doing one in April next year. 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 There will be a Go Cutter Club meeting in May with some specials. More details in May's newsletter. How is it possible that we are in April already? Stay safe and healthy out there. - Diana STORE PROCEDURE: Appointments to shop at Diana's Quilts-n-Things in person are not required. We welcome masked shoppers to browse Diana's. Click here for mask policy details and accommodations. It would help me to have advance notification if you have a group of 4 or more. Right now, I am very short-handed, but if I know ahead of time, I can see what I can do about extra help. Otherwise, you will just have more time to look around, until I can help the next person. We are all wishing speedy recoveries for my helpers and their families. |

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. |
