Block of the Month:
NEW!! Growing up on the Ranch BOM
For the first time ever, we are offering a Western Block of the Month. Growing up on the Ranch is an 8 month program designed by Rosie of Vintage Redwork. I wish you could have seen Carol when we walked into Rosie's booth last fall and saw this quilt! Without hesitation, she said, "We're doing it."
Growing up on the Ranch is a multi-technique project. Each month for the first 6 months make an embroidered block, an applique block (we used fusible applique), and a strip of patchwork. The final two months of the program features setting pieces, and borders. Our version is made with a plethora of western prints in a palette of red, blue and cream.
Finished size is 72" x 76"
Sign up fee: $30
Plus $18.99/month for 8 months.
Limited to 12 participants.

NEW! Time For All Seasons BOM

Finished size: 58" x 72"

Marti Michell templates and tools
Our friend and brilliant template designer, Marti Michell is retiring (at the age of 85!! Way to go Marti!). The company ceased shipping products as of June 30th. We've been buying up whatever we could get of all our favorites, but when they are gone they are gone for good!

Marti's "More Bang for the Buck Book"
Barb uses this book as a reference for not only using templates but also for converting patterns for cutting with Accuquilt. Quickly look up how many of specific shapes you can cut from a width of fabric or a fat quarter. Such a great value for the price.
Click here for the reference book. (We have more on the way. If we show sold out call or email the shop.)
