January mystery quilt and other

The mystery is over.  Here is a photo of the January mystery quilt.

We are really happy with the way it turned out.  Hope you like it.

Just a little reminder.  This Friday is the first Friday of the Month.  We have added fabrics to the shelf for the $5.55 sale.  Among them are fabrics we used for the current buck a block quilt.  If you need backing it's a great way to get it.

The photo below pictures the fabric collection we have planned for the February mystery quilt.  Give us a call to reserve yours.

 And lastly - we have the opportunity to participate in a quilting retreat next week (Feb. 6 -10).  As a result the shop will be closed Tues. through Saturday.  We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Since the 10th is the second Saturday that we would normally pass out the buck a block kits - we are planning on having them ready a week early.  Or you can pick them up the week following Feb. 10th.

Thanks so much!
Kelly & Becky

Second Saturday Sampler block 11

For the block you will need:

4) 4" white squares
4) 3 1/2" white squares
4) 4" green squares
4 4" yellow squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4" white squares and 2 of the 4" yellow squares.

Place two of the green squares (right sides together and outside edges aligned) with the two marked yellow squares.

Sew 1/4" on each side of the drawn line.  Cut on the line and square to 3 1/2".  Press toward the green.

Place the remaining two yellow squares and two green squares with the four white squares.  Create 4 yellow 3 1/2" half square triangles and 4 green 3 1/2" half square triangles.

Use the photo above to arrange and sew the pieces to create the block. 

We have one block left to finish up this quilt.  Please note - we will be closed for a retreat the second week in February.  We will have the blocks ready the first Saturday in February or you may pick them up after the second week.  

Thanks for your participation.  We plan to start a new buck a block in March.  Stay tuned for details.

Heart and Home block 5 correction

We have discovered an error in the cutting instructions for block 5 of the Heart and Home quilt.  The second line in cutting the house should read 2) 2" x 5"  instead of 2) 2" x 2 1/2".

We apologize for the error and hope we caught it before you got your fabric cut. 

If you have already cut the fabric please come and get a piece the correct size.

Thanks,
Kelly & Becky

December Mystery quilt

So sorry!  We rushed right in to the Christmas Holidays and forgot to post a photo of the December Mystery Quilt. 

So.... here it is.

The beautiful home spun fabrics from Moda lend themselves nicely to the simple patchwork pattern.  We backed the quilt with a soft green minky fabric.  What a cuddle quilt this turned out to be. 

Thank you all for participating in our mystery quilt program.

We are planning the January mystery quilt using the Callington Mill collection from Penny Rose fabrics.

Becky has planned a pretty traditional quilt for January. 

Don't miss out!  Give us a call at 801-465-9133 to reserve your kit.
