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 are 1/2 price until gone. 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 your neck and shoulders. There is a new AccuQuilt "Trade Up" program. If you already own a Baby Go or the regular GO and want to trade for a bigger or electric one - 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 is so nice not to have to "catch" the die as it comes through. 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. *CORRECTION* If you have received one of my 2025 calendars, please note the zip code is wrong. Instead of 59036, it says 59063. If you use the calendar to send me notes, etc., please be sure you change the zip code. I didn't notice it until we got 400 new tote bags with the wrong zip code. Thanks. NEWS Sonja, whom I hired in October, is in the process of rearranging the store. She has done some changes already and is fantastic at what she does. Quilt Retreats for 2025 - 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. If you didn't notice it mentioned in November's newsletter, I had the October 2025 dates wrong in a prior newsletter. And, we have added a second retreat in April. One will be the week before Easter, and one the week after Easter; April 10 - 13 and April 24 - 27. The October 2025 retreats are October 9 - 12 and October 16 - 19. These dates are almost completely full at this time, but you can be placed on a waiting list. There have been a few cancellations for April, but right now we still have a waiting list. I will be sending out a notice to all who have signed up for April in the next week or so, and will know if there are more openings after that. New from QT Fabrics... the Mixology fabric collection is absolutely stunning! Now in stock. Glow ruler, 6 inch square, rechargeable. Left or right handed. My Mystery Mailing started in January 2021 and ended with December 2024. As we were down to two people receiving the mystery mailing, we will not continue it in 2025, unless there is additional demand. Please let me know, if you are interested. We may have to think of a new fun program. Any ideas? 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, but are no longer requiring masks. Click here for mask policy details and accommodations. 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.

Needle Turn Applique: Needle turn applique is a hand applique technique. Learn needle turn applique with a small project that can be turned into a pillow, table center, or quilt section. An example quilt on this website is #6-489. Needle Turn Applique is an all-day Saturday class, starting at 9:30 a.m. |

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. |
