HELP ME HELP YOU
It would help me to have advance notification if you have a group of 4 or more.  (406-632-4861)  I do have someone coming in to help on Tuesdays and it is possible to have someone on other days as well.  We will have extra help the weekend of the two October quilts retreats.

SPECIALS - More fabrics have been added to the sale area.  Regularly priced fabric (minimum 1 yard cuts), kits not already on sale, and sewing notions over $10.00 will be 20% off with use of a credit card.  With cash or a check, you will receive an additional 5% off (25%).  All in-stock Adult Coloring Books 1/2 price.  Sale fabric - finish a bolt of sale fabric and receive a full 1/2 off the original price.

AccuQuilt specials - Ask about these.  New dies are issued every month.  We will match any special AccuQuilt is offering.  You can 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.  There is a new AccuQuilt "Trade Up" program - ask me for details.  The die catchers for the Go Big are here.  These attach to your machine and catch your dies as they come through.  It will be so nice not to have to "catch" the die as it comes through.  The Go Big will be available to try at our October quilt retreats.

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 2024:  Each retreat features fun days and three nights at the Barnsion, outside of Harlowton.  A retreat starts on Thursday, and ends on Sunday.  Towels and bedding are provided.  Enjoy my continental breakfasts and evening meals on Friday and Saturday, then a full breakfast on Sunday.  For more details, give me a call.
  The retreat price is $275.00, covering the cost of the facility and the cost of food for the meals that I provide - AND a little project.  This year's October 10-13* and October 17-20** retreats have a waiting list available, If you'd like to be notified in case someone cancels.  (That did happen in April.) Right now both are full.

2025 quilt retreat dates are tentatively set for April 10-13, October 16-19 and October 23-26.  The sign up for those dates has already started.

We have some new solid color fabrics from Hoffman that are very nice.  We also have a new supply of Leanin Tree all occasion cards in.  We now have 72 colors of embroidery thread, plus black in stock.  And have been getting new fabrics weekly.  We now have all the new Hoffman linen look fabrics.  Also have some of Maywoods shadow play solids.  Additional new fabrics just keep on coming.  Space is getting limited.

My Mystery Mailing started in January 2021 and continues.  Each mailing includes $60.00 to 70.00 worth of goodies.  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.  The cost is $55 for mailing, $47 for pickup.  Please advise if you wish to sign up.

CLASSES
No group classes are scheduled.

MASK POLICY
We welcome masked shoppers to browse Diana's, but are no longer requiring masks.  Click here for mask policy details and accommodations.

ORDER BY PHONE OPTION
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.

Stay safe and healthy out there.
- Diana

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.

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.

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.
