You can also make the fabric  of your choice into vinyl fabric to make the pad have an easy clean option. We'll show you how!

The clutch and the pad need to be quilted in order to have a better result. Since this takes time, we are offering a seperate time slot on Thursday, April 26th from 5:30-8 to come and do the quilting. If you don't have this pre-class homework completed and choose to spend your class time quilting your changing station, you won't get very far on finishing your project in class. We will be showing techniques on straight line quilting, free motion quilting, and also using the Westalee Quilting Rulers.

April Showers bring big savings

April brings in showers of rain (or snow) and lots of Husqvarna Viking Savings!
It is also the last month we are offering the UFO Challenge. I am still waiting for the final list from Lewiston peeps who finished, and then we will do and announce the March $50 gift certificate winner. Can't wait to see who it is!



We're doing a UFO (un-finished objects) Challenge in both locations!  If one of your goals for the New Year is to wrap up some unfinished projects, we're here to help! The UFO Challenge begins February 1st and runs through April 30th . Each of those three months bring in up to 3 UFO's no later than the 10th to register them for $1 each. Return with any or all of them completed by the last day of the month and for each one finished your name will be entered into a drawing. We'll draw a name each month and the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the shop! Just think.... if you play for all three months you could finish up to nine projects!

For quilters, UFOs may be quilts, table runners, or wall hangings or purses, etc... - no size restrictions. For knitters and crocheters, anything unfinished on the day of registration is eligible.
Quilters: Take 15% off batting and backing fabric if you purchase those items for your UFO on the day you register. Knitters/ Crocheters: Take 10% off anything you purchase on the day you register your projects.
We  look forward to seeing what everyone brings in for the challenge!
