Autumn is upon us and we have kicked off the new season of workshops. We’re starting another Beginner’s Sampler Class this Saturday and there are one or two places left. This class will teach the beginner from start to end how to make a sampler quilt. These workshops are very popular as we teach all the skills to put you on the right road to success.
On October 8th we are holding a hand quilting workshop. If you have never done any hand quilting this is the time to start. Lucie will be showing you how to get started.
And the following week, October 15th, Lucie will be doing the long awaited Part II Free Motion Quilting. If you’ve taken Part I Free Motion Quilting and you have enjoyed it, you will enjoy this next part just as much. Lucie has a few tricks up her sleeve so this class is not to be missed! Get yourself booked in soon to avoid disappointment.
On October 22nd there will be a Chisel Star quilt workshop. This is an excellent workshop as the Chisel shapes are pre-cut on the Go! Fabric cutter. The Chisel shape makes a lovely block and as all the pieces are die cut they will be precise hence making piecing a breeze.
We’ve taken delivery of some very nice fabrics this past week. The first is Blossoming by Kathy Davis for Free Spirit in two colour ways.
This one is Tudor Lane by Denise Sheehan of A Graceful Stitch “Catherine” by Lecien.
And then we have Tea Cakes by Verna Mosquera for Free Spirit.
And last but not least, Cielle by Galgarollo by Lecien.
All these new fabrics are brilliant. And there’s more expected soon!
