March Mystery quilt

In order to avoid large groups on one day, we are revealing the March mystery a little early.  The kits and instructions are available now.

Becky has created another beautiful (and fun to make) quilt.

As you pick up your kits please remember the guidelines of social distancing and other precautions we have been advised to adhere to.  Our intent in releasing the kits early is to give a little more time for everyone to pick them up rather than all at the same time.

We are so grateful for your continued support - especially at this uncertain time.  Please stay healthy!

Second Sat sampler block 12

This is the last block of the quilt!  You are almost done.

For this block you will need:
8) 4" background squares
8) different 4" print squares

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

Match a background square to each of the print squares 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 each 1/2 square triangle to 3 1/2 inches and trim the excess points of the seams.  Press toward the print.

Assemble the resulting 1/2 square triangles as pictured at the top to create the block.



We hope you have enjoyed the process as this quilt has come together for you.

We are starting a new Second Sat. Sampler in April.  You can see a couple of the blocks and the fabrics we will be using in the photo below.

We're not sure how we are going to set them all yet but you can get the 12 blocks for only $12.00.  The instructions will all be on line as we have done in the past.  A new block will be available on the second Saturday of each month.  Give us a call if you would like to be included - 801-465-9133.

We wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for the support our great quilting friends - so THANKS!

March mystery fabric

We will be using the Edie & Jane fabric collection for the March Mystery Quilt.

February mystery quilt

The February mystery quilt was revealed today.  It's beee-utiful!

We are planning on using the Edie & Jane fabric collection for the March mystery quilt.  We will post a photo as soon as we can.

Have a great day!

Double oven mitt tutorial

 Becky created a tutorial for making double oven mitts a while back.  We have been meaning to include the link for some time and are finally getting around to it.  Just click on the link below to view the tutorial.

Second Sat. Sampler block 11

For this block you will need:
6) 4" background squares
6) 4" red squares
4) 3 1/2" blue squares

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

Match a background square to each of the red squares 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 each section to 3 1/2 inches and trim the excess points of the seams.  Press toward the print.

Assemble the resulting 1/2 square triangles and 3 1/2 inch squares as pictured above to create the block.

We have finishing kits left if anyone wants to complete the quilt like ours. 

We need to let you know the shop will be closed Feb. 3 - 8 as we will be participating in the annual retreat at Ruby's Inn near Bryce Canyon.  The kits are ready now if you would like to pick them up early.  Of course, you are welcome to pick them up after Feb. 9th as well. 

Thanks!

January Mystery quilt and other stuff

The January mystery quilt is ready if any of you would like to come and get it a little early.

It's another fun and done jelly roll project with a little bit of optional applique.  Having the 2 1/2 inch strips already cut saves so much time and effort.

We need to make you aware of a few other things.

The shop will be closed February 3 through 8th as we will be participating in the annual Winter Quilt Retreat at Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon.  Since this falls on the second Saturday we will plan on having those blocks ready for you to pick up later this week if you would like.  Of course, you can always pick them up later as well.  We only have two blocks left to finish the quilt!  Watch for the next one that will be starting soon.

The retreat also falls on our regular First Friday sale.  We have decided to do the sale this Friday (the 31st) as well as the Friday after the retreat (Feb. 14th). You are welcome to come either day (or both if you like) and select some great fabric at the wonderful price of only $5.55 per yard.

One final but important item.  We know that all quilters are generous and giving.  We have been made aware that our local veteran's home is in need of more quilts.  They would prefer patriotic themed quilts that measure 63 x 87 inches.  If you are interested in donating we can provide you with specifics.  Thanks so much for your help!

Have a great day and happy quilting!
