Welcome to our October Newsletter!

Fall is here and the leaves are falling from the trees. This is the time to start thinking about completing Holiday craft projects. We have been busy scheduling classes and sew-in days.  If you have ideas on classes that you would like to see us offer, let us know. You can always contact us on our website, online store, Facebook page, or by phone 888-787-3980  with any questions or comments you may have.
Victorian Christmas Quilt Class
Our first quilting class was held on October 26th. The Anita Goodesign Victorian Christmas Quilt with instructor Ollie Gray was a huge success. A second, follow-up class has been scheduled for November 23rd. Each student made at least 3 blocks for the quilt and the follow-up class will review the final two blocks for the quilt. Be sure to check out our website for information and registration details for the follow-up class.
Trim The Tree Quilt Class
The Trim The Tree Quilt Class with Terry Stafford will be held on November 15, 2019. Instruction will begin at 10:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM for a total of 6 hours. The Retreat Center will remain open until 8 PM for those who want to continue sewing after instruction ends.

Students will have a choice of two patterns to use, the “Tall Trim The Tree” or “A Little Bit Shorter Tall Tree”. Both are designed by Cindi Edgerton and are Tissue Paper Foundation Patterns. They are both great Paper Piecing projects!

The Tall Trim The Tree project will create a tree that could be just the right size for smaller homes with a finished size of 26.75″ X 76.75″. You can roll it up for easy storage. To decorate the tree, hang ornaments on 25 buttons that embellish the quilt.

The A Little Bit Shorter Tall Tree project will create a tree that is a smaller version of the Tall Trim The Tree and is perfect for smaller spaces. You could also display it in an office or child’s room. You can decorate the tree with buttons to hang a few of your favorite ornaments. The finished size is 17″ x 41″.
