June Mystery Quilt

Becky says we are keeping this one.  We really kind of like it.  I think it is one of the best photos we have posted on this blog - so a big thank you to our Daughter, Challis who took the photo for us. (Visit her on instagram @challisinwonderlandphotography.)

I think there is great beauty in the simplicity of the design.  If you hurry, you can have it pieced just in time for Independence day.

So - as we mentioned, there is a movie being filmed on our little main street.  The street has been turned into a winter wonderland.  Our shop is temporarily a music store so we have no access to the retail area to pass out the mystery kits.  We are hoping for good weather on Tuesday so we can set up in the back of the shop to pass out the kits on Tuesday.  You can access us through the Ace Hardware parking lot.  You should see the pop up awning in the back.

If you can't make it on Tuesday, please call ahead to make sure we are at the shop and we will be happy to run the kit out to you.  We should be back to normal at the shop sometime after July 8th.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Our first Friday sale will be postponed because of filming and the holiday.  Stay tuned - we will be posting details as we figure them out.

Second Sat. Sampler block 3

Block 3

For this block you will need:

8) 4" background squares
4) 4" blue squares
4) 4" green squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4" background squares.

Place a background square with each of the print squares making sure the right sides are together and the outside edges are aligned.  Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line.  Cut on the line.  Square the triangles to 3 1/2 inches. Clip the excess corners of the seams and press.


Arrange and sew the half square triangles as depicted in the photo at the top of the post to create the block.


Just a reminder - business as usual here at the shop will be interrupted for the filming of a Hallmark Christmas movie for the next four weeks.  We will be here on a limited basis.  It would be good to call ahead if you need something (801-465-9133).

Have a great day!

Heads Up - movie filming

Our building has been offered a supporting role in an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie.  Beginning next week (June 15th), the production company is scheduled to move us out and prepare the set for the movie.  We anticipate a three week interruption by the time they set up, film and then put everything back together.  Of course, this will affect the day to day business.  We apologize in advance for the temporary interruption.  We will be conducting very limited business out of the back door but please call ahead to make sure we are here.  Our number is 801-465-9133. 

We will be passing out kits for the mystery quilt on June 30.  Please plan on coming to the back of the shop.  Don't know yet if we will have a tent set up or if we can create space in the workshop but we'll make it work.  Stay tuned for details.

Since the first Friday in July falls on the holiday weekend we are planning on moving the first Friday sale to the following week (July 10th).  Hopefully we will have the shop back in order by then.

Watch the blog for more details and plan on viewing the movie this Christmas season.
