TNT Embroidablock of the Month: (Coming in September!)
 
Join us for Hoopsisters Embroidablock of the Month.  We have combined forces with Hoopsisters to offer their unique Embroidablock of the Month program.  The quilt for 2010 is entitled. "TNT, Textures and Techniques" and is absolutely exquisite!  Their technique of combining embroidery with piecing and quilting is extraordinary. 
Last year's quilt, Crazy Compass, was a huge hit.  People all over the country participated in the program and we are happy to announce our participation in this year's program. 
We will be meeting once a month for 10 months.  The first nine months you will be stitching four blocks each month.  The tenth month we will teach you Hoopsister's unique joining technique. 
Hoopsisters.com was founded in 2008 by Lynda Remmers and Annie Moody and their love for high-tech quilting. 
Come be a part of this cutting edge quilting technique.  Call or stop in today to sign up!
 
                          
Get organized. . . Have fun. . . Make quilts! Meeting the fourth Monday of the month Sept. 27th, Oct. 25th, and Nov. 22nd  from 9:30-2:00 or 6:00-9:00.   Cost $10.00 per Session plus pattern.

This is how it works:  You will bring your own scraps, 1/4 yd. or smaller to cut into squares and strips.  You’ll need your scraps, sharp rotary cutter, rulers, and mat!  You will take your rediscovered fabrics and start quilting using specially selected patterns, or patterns of your own.  You will be excited to see new quilts created from your buried treasures!  NOTE:  You will also need to bring your sewing machine for each session.
