Well we are off and running into a new
year, I hope and pray for it to be a great one for us all. The winter season seems to be a long one in
Wisconsin, and I am already looking to warm weather returning, but we have the
quilting season to keep us warm. As the
new spring fabric starts to arrive and we are done with the projects for the
holidays, we can now think of some of the quilting projects we want to try for
ourselves, or finish some of our UFO’S.
The new class list will give you something to try, learn to work with
wool or to embroider, learn to make Hexies.
The new Block of the Month is from Primitive Gatherings called Words to
Live By made with fabric and wool will start in spring of 2014. Stop in and take a look.

HEXIES
Hex-a-long with me into 2014, we started
this last fall if anyone wanted to do English Paper Piecing, the second Fridays
of the month. This great pastime is
something to do on those long cold winter nights and watch a quilt or table
topper come together. This kind of
project is very portable and can be planned or done with a lot of scraps. Stop
in and join me, second Fridays of the month from 1 – 4 PM. There are lots of possibilities.
