We've Got Class

Today I want to show you a table runner class being taught by Mary Cowan called THREE SHINING STARS.

Mary made her original runner out of traditional Americana fabrics, but now the cover photo on the pattern shows a very striking red, black, gray and white version.  This is such a versatile pattern.  One year I made each of my sisters and my mom this table runner out of the fabric line Wuthering Heights by 3 Sisters for Moda.  Do you remember that fabulous line?  And Mary has also made it using Christmas fabrics, and that version is to die for as well!  We have kits available in this our modern take on Americana, or you can choose you own fabrics from any fabric line and it will look great!

The class will be taught on  

Tuesday, June 11th 

from 6pm - 8pm.  

The class fee is $15, plus pattern and supplies.

If you would like to sign up for this class, please come into the store or call us at (801)233-0551 and we will sign you up over the phone.

One of my favorite Quilt Market finds

One of my favorite market finds this year was from the fabulous Heather Mulder Peterson of Anka's Treasures.

I love her books because they are so packed full of quilts and her instructions are clear and easy to follow with lots of illustrations (illustrations are crucial for me because I'm such a visual learner).

All the quilts in the book Angles With Ease  are made using her genius variation of a standard triangle ruler....

It might look like one you've seen before, but look again.....see the angled lines marked A & B?  With strip piecing and this handy tool you get an amazing array of blocks. 

There are so many more that you will definitely get your moneys worth with this one.

Green Tea & Sweet Beans quilt by Jen Kingwell

Cecilia has been busy working on our next block of the month, which is a needle-turn applique quilt.  This quilt comes from the book GREEN TEA AND SWEET BEANS by the extremely talented Jen Kingwell from Australia.  Sandy and I saw the quilt in Jen Kingwell's booth last year at Fall Quilt Market in Houston.  It was love at first sight!  We took lots of photos and purchased multiple copies of the book, as well as her other designs, to bring home with us.  The ladies at Pine Needles fell in love with this fabulous new designer too!  Green Tea and Sweet Beans is a GORGEOUS quilt with an eclectic flair due to the variety of fabrics.  Our fabrics have been hand selected by Cecilia and are DELIGHTFUL!!!!!  You must sign up to guarantee there will be a kit for you.  WE ARE TAKING SIGN UPS NOW.  The first kit will be ready for pick up on Saturday, May 18th. Then each of the subsequent blocks will be ready to pick up the 3rd Saturday of each month.  Here is a look at the first two blocks...
