Creative Quilting:  Calling all quilters!  Experienced , new  or want-to-be quilters  , join us for some quilting fun.  Travel down the path of knowledge with our Quilting Specialist, Margaret and experience just how much fun quilting can be.  From the basics to the extremely creative, from traditional to modern, we will explore the many ways quilting has evolved.   Using tools, notions, machines  and accessories available  today, you can design and create about anything you can dream up!

2.  Mid arm quilting:  Find out how the powerquilter 16.0 can speed up your quilting and free-motion thread painting projects.  What used to take days or even months to sew will now take just a few hours.  See wonderful inspiration projects and then test drive the powerquilter 16 for yourself.

This quilt I saw in Houston , Texas when Shirley and I went to the market.  This pattern is from SuzyBee and I was told that she is or will be painting some of the wards at the Toronto Childrens Hospital with the characters from her patterns.   This one is called Fishing Buddies with Paul and Sheldon (frog and turtle).  I 

also have Zoe's Family Tree which are giraffes I do want to make that quilt also-just have to find the time.

I have had this pattern for awhile but didn't have quite the right fabric-til now.  This is using a border print and uses the 12.5  60 degreee triangle ruler.  Again pretty easy.  Do you see a theme here.  These projects anyone can do, but if you need help come to the store and sew for the day.

This is a soooo cute wallhanging  and its free on line!  I used the textured magic on the red bird to make it 

3-D.  So cool!  I have never used Textured magic 

1. because I was afraid I would screw up (but I didn't it was so easy)

2. I didn't see a small project I wanted to do using it to try it out-- til now.

I also embroidered a snowflake on the background.  Its a keeper!

Now this is a new line of fabric from Piecemakers.  I love the blue tone and the pattern is all my favorite things-sewing, birds(wildlife)  and flowers.   Quick and easy to make with fusible web or it can be needle turned applique too.

So finally with some help (Thank you soooo  much Corinne)  the pictures are coming!

This one is using the Stonehenge pastals.  I made this one when it was  soooo cold, so it was a pleasure to do, thinking about what will hopefully come--warmer weather.

A GREAT EVENT TO ATTEND
