New Year, New Classes and fabrics

I am kicking off the New Year with a special sale event on Feb 6th, Super Bowl Sunday.
It's a Fat Quarter Frenzy!  All pre-cut fat quarters will be on sale for $1.00 each.  There will also be scrap bags of fabric for $3.00 each or 2 / $5.00.  (Some of these scrap bags contain as much as 2 yards of fabric.)  Special shop hours for the sale are 10:00am to 3:00pm.  Come early for best selection.  Super Bowl sale discounts can not be combined with any additional discounts.   Gift certificates are accepted as always. 

The new year has also brought a new schedule of classes:
Fat Quarter Friendly

The start of a new series here at Sew Together..a monthly themed pattern for a seasonal wallhanging. This wall quilt can be finished (or very close to it) by the end of class.  As an added  feature, we’ll be trading fabrics  with each other for maximum scrappy fun.

Square Pegs

A table topper that’s as fresh as Spring!  A clever technique using the “Tucker Trimmer” ruler allows you to make consistent, accurate half-square triangles,  so piecing is a breeze!

Twister

This twin sized quilt is made up of twinkling stars.  A clever  technique for making the stars  creates the blocks for the pieced border at the same time.  You really need to see this one in person.  There is some pre-cutting involved before the class.

Block of the Month

I'm happy to announce that Sew-Together will be offering a Block of the Month mini-quilt series.  Each month is a different, seasonal mini-quilt that can be displayed on it's own little stand.  The patterns will all come from the book "Count on It" by Nancy Halvorsen.  Participants pay $18.00 for the book, and then $10.00/month for a kit which includes all the fabrics for the top, back and batting. There are a few additional options to choose from.  Participation is limited to 25 quilters.








For Batik fans, the shop has lots of batiks to choose from...

Brights:

Blues:

and Rain Forest colors:

as well as packs of fat quarters, and 2 1/2" strips.

I've also recently added a  new line from Moda called Dilly Dally.

Hope to see you soon!
