March Mystery Quil

 The Cowboys kits are ready.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This layer cake quilt is a pretty quick sew that is sure to delight your favorite cowboy or cowgirl.   

The border on this one is optional but we think the bandana print finishes the quilt quite nicely.

February mystery quilt

The February mystery kits are ready.  

 Note: we will be closed the week of March 3 to participate in a quilt retreat.

 

You may recognize the pattern as we have used it to create a beautiful Christmas quilt previously.  I think it is striking with the gold background fabric and the use of primary colors.  

The final border didn't fit into the $39.00 mystery quilt budget this time but we have plenty available if you choose to add it.  It only takes a yard, which we are selling at the discounted price of $9.99. 

FYI - the parking lot in back of the library is being redone so it means more vehicles looking for parking spaces on main street.  You are welcome to use our back door if it is more convenient for you.  (Not pretty but accessible.)

The March mystery quilt will be using a layer cake from the "Cowboys" collection by Riley Blake designs.  This one will also have an optional border.

 

Happy Sewing!

December mystery quilt

Note:

We made an error in the yardage calculation for this quilt.  You will need another 1/2 yard of the pink background fabric.  We have the additional yardage set aside for you if you haven't already picked it up.

Sorry for the error.

 

 The December mystery quilt is being quilted as I post but the kits are ready if you need them a little early.

We figured you could all use a little sunshine and happiness in January so we will be using a layer cake from the "Here Comes the Sun" collection by Sandy Gervais for the January mystery quilt. Call us at 801-465-9133 to reserve yours.

We will be closed December 24th-29th for a little Christmas break.

Merry Christmas! We appreciate your support and friendship.
