May mystery photo

Sorry we are a little behind getting a photo posted of the May mystery quilt but here it is.

The quilt finishes about 54 x 63 inches.  We chose to make ours a little larger to fit a bed.

I love the traditional colors and flannel feel of the brushed homespun fabric.


We have wanted to create a two color mystery quilt for some time now.  The time has come.  The June mystery quilt will be a very traditional two color quilt.  We will be creating ours in the white and mustard color shown.  We will also be offering a red/white and blue/white color option.

The quilt will be beautiful!  Give us a call to reserve yours today.

April Mystery Quilt

This is the April mystery quilt.

We love the fabrics and the quilt.  The larger blocks sew up pretty quickly.

We will be using the manly plaids pictured below in the May mystery quilt.   Don't they look warm and inviting?

A quick reminder - this coming Friday is $5.55 first Friday.  We will be adding more fabric to the shelves.  Plan to come and save!

Thanks so much or your continued support.

Second Saturday Sampler 2019

We are starting the 2019 sampler series tomorrow (April 13th).  If you have signed up - the first block is ready.  If you haven't signed up and would like to participate give us a call at 801-465-9133.  It's not too late to join in the fun.

Here are the instructions for the first block. 

You will need:
8) 4" background squares
8 different 4" print squares

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

Match each of the background squares with a 4" print square with the right sides together and the outside edges aligned.

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn line.

Cut on the line.

Square up to 3 1/2 inches.  (Quilt in a Day triangle square up ruler works really well for this step.)

Press toward the print.

Arrange to your liking using the photo above as a placement guide.

Sew the squares together and press the block.

The block should measure 12 1/2 inches.

Thanks for joining us!  If you are following along on line using your own fabric, we would love to see pictures.

We plan to have the quilt finished before the second block next month.  We will have some setting kits available for those who would like to finish it the way we do ours.  Stay tuned.

Happy Sewing!

March Mystery

First of all - we have discovered that there wasn't quite enough fabric to finish the arrows in last month's quilt kits.  So if you did last month's quilt please stop by the shop and pick up the fabric you will need to finish the quilt.  So sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is a photo of the March mystery quilt which you can pick up today (March 26).  We were really happy with the way this one turned out.  Hope you love it too.

April fabrics are shown below.  It's sure to be another cute one.

Call us at 801-465-9133 to reserve your kit.

Happy Quilting!
