OH, My Quilty Friends!

There is SOOO much to talk about!!

FIRST and foremost... a NEW Sassy Pack Pattern has been added, called Square Affair. I KNOW, RIGHT??? We've been asking for a new pattern, and it's finally HERE! Check out the sample pictures shown below! It is just soooo pretty. Plus we've added a BUNCH more Sassy packs... and TWO of them are of the new Steampunk Stitchery Collection! I couldn't resist! (heehee)

Second... What a terrific response to THE Aurifil Thread Lab program! The program will run from July 2023, to December 2023. I spoke to Ed from Aurifil today, and as far as I know WE are the ONLY shop hosting a Monthly Project Party! So for those of you who have signed up, we can do ALL of the projects together. We will be shipping the labs out in the beginning of each month just in time for our In-Store Monthly Project Class on the 3rd Thursday of each month. A zoom call will be set up, and if you can't make the zoom call, it will be recorded and sent to you to view at your leisure. I'm SO looking forward to see what Aurifil has in store for us!! Let's take this journey together!! Deadline for registration is May 5, 2023. If you haven't signed up yet, there are still a few more spots left to get the FREE GIFT!! Seriously... Don't you just LOVE FREE STUFF!!

And Lastly, I was able to find some 3/8" Clothesline Rope at a decent price. If you already signed up for the Embroidered Rope Bowl Class, I will have clothesline in the store for purchase. I REALLY cannot WAIT to show you how I created this project!! The BEST part is, you don't even need to bring your embroidery machine... We have those in class!!

Also added, and back by popular demand... The Summertime Bucket Hat Class. This class fills up every time I post it. So, HURRY and sign up, there is only one spot left right now!

OH, sorry, one more thing.. There are a TON of FREE PDF patterns in this newsletter.. Be sure to grab them ALL!

Stay safe, my friends... Have a beautiful day!

HUGE Quilty hugs from,
