This being Montana, hours are as above unless it is blizzarding, in which case I will be home with a good book or jigsaw puzzle. Hopefully, we are done with super cold and blizzard conditions. Rain would be nice, although the recent snow isn't bad. SPECIALS - Even though we do not appear to have any smoke damage from the Graves Hotel fire (so very sad to lose that landmark) we are doing a 30% discount for the month of March. Minimum 1 yard cuts. This discount will not apply to any kits or precuts that are enclosed in plastic. Those will have a 20% discount as this is my birthday/anniversary month. Any sewing notion over $10.00 that is enclosed will also be 20% off. Finish a bolt of SALE fabric and it is half off (50%) the original price. We are waiting for a company out of Billings to come and make a judgment on possible smoke damage. No one who has been in can smell smoke on anything in the store, we do not have a film on anything. While we not so patiently wait for an evaluation, you get to take advantage of a 30% discount. AccuQuilt specials - Ask about these. Lots of new dies. We will match any special AccuQuilt is offering. AccuQuilt news - Have you been thinking about a GO! Cutter or wondering how they work? Schedule a test drive session at Diana's Quilts-n-Things. Kits will be available to make a table runner for $15.00. At the store, you will use the GO! Cutter to cut your pieces, then sew them right away, or take them home to sew. The cost is just the price of the fabric, and you will leave with a basic knowledge of how the cutters work. Find out if it is right for you. This is a "test drive" for me also, so plan on an hour to an hour and a half of personal help. Want to try the GO! Cutter on your own project? Come in, bring your project's ironed fabric, and cut your project. Rental is $10.00 per hour. You will purchase your own mat for the dies you use. You can use any of the dies I have open. If you then decide that you want your own GO! Cutter, I will deduct the cost of the rental fee +and+ the cost of any mat you may have purchased. Consider it a mini class for $10.00+. 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 Quilt Retreats for 2023: 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 the fee is required. I may be reevaluating the cost after the first of the year, depending on food prices. Vaccination is required. Dates: In 2023, April 13 - 16, one spot is available. October 12 - 15, waiting list; October 19 - 22 has spots available. I do have 2024 dates too. My Mystery Mailing started in January 2021 and continues. 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. Even though postage increased in January, I haven't raised the cost. CLASSES No group classes scheduled. I was hoping that would change, but right now there is a lot of respiratory stuff out there. Personal instruction in GO! Cutter use - see above. Appointment is recommended. STORE PROCEDURE: 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 online, 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. MASK POLICY 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 still short-handed, which gives you more time to look around, until I can help the next person. Stay safe and healthy out there. - Diana |

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. |
If you have a question about my clubs, activities, or schedule, please call Diana's Quilts-n-Things at 406-632-4861. |
