Books and Patterns are not included in the sale. Hoffman Challenge Fabrics. These are currently in the store. Details of the contest are available at the store or at http://www.hoffmancaliforniafabrics.net/challenge . AccuQuilt specials - Ask about these. We have lots of new dies. We will match any special AccuQuilt is offering. Schedule a demo for the GO! Cutters and see if these are a good fit for you. They provide very accurate cutting, and less strain on neck and shoulders. The June "die to try" is the cutest little fox die, which is in stock at our store now. There is a new "Trade Up" program. Call me for details. 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 this year for three nights at the Barnsion, outside of Harlowton. Each retreat features 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. Vaccination is required. I believe these two retreats are full, but that may change. Please call to be put on a waiting list. Quilt Retreats for 2024: Cost will increase to $275.00 due to the increased cost of the facility. Am hoping this will cover the cost of the facility and the cost of food for the meals that I provide. April 18-21, 2024 is full - again, a waiting list is available. October 10-13 has available spots. October 17-20, is full. 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 are scheduled. 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 |

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. |
