Central Park by Kate Spain for Moda has Arrived!

and it is marvelous!

Our favorite delivery guy played Santa today and brought us the long awaited new Moda line, Central Park by Kate Spain.  Great focal fabrics (animals, flowers), mid sized prints, blenders - all in the most delicious colors!  I'll put them up on the website.

For all of you Moda or modern fabric lovers, we also have Hoopla and Sugar Pop.  My mind is swirling with possibilities!  What are you going to create?

We Got the Point!

We held our first paper piecing class at Three Crafty Quilters with instructor Cheri Rosen and it was terrific!

The class was a beginner class - students that had never paper pieced before.  Everyone was traditional machine piecers or hand quilters so there was a lot of learning.  Fortunately, Cheri, who is a NYC transplant with nine years of teaching quilting under her belt, came prepared!  If Cheri can teach math to middle school students (her profession by day) then she can teach us to paper piece!

All of the students came prepared with a selection of fabric to make Cheri's leaf pattern, and a desire to get those points perfect!

Everyone seemed to enjoy the class, learning a new technique and relaxing (we were relaxed until the husbands and kids started texting messages asking when we were coming home).

Fabulous results (for those of you that weren't afraid to get in front of the camera at 9:00 pm!)  Next up, we are ready for the intermediate class - stars!  If you want to join in the fun check the website or the shop for details.  Sheri will also be teaching the Blooming 9 Patch soon.

Spring is Here (or at least in fabric!)

What our favorite man in brown brought today...

Easter is in 3 months so it's time to start sewing and quilting a nice table runner, quilted Easter basket, place mats - you are only limited by your imagination!

Classes updates

Don't forget to sign up for the classes that are on our calendar!

Our hand applique class is full for Tuesday morning - but we will be adding more of these classes soon!

Tuesday night you can get started on a Blooming 9 Patch.  If you have not seen this sample in person ...it is stunning!

Thursday evening is beginning paper piecing.  I'll be sitting in on that class, as I need to learn to paper piece properly.

February 8th and 22nd from Jamie will be teaching a french braid.  She just photographed a sample that she created in batiks (and another sample in florals is in the shop).  Amazing  quilt for all levels.

Visit our website for specific dates, times and costs.  Or call the shop to get more information and reserve your spot!

Blooming 9 Patch
