Retreat Plans Finalized and NEW PATTERNS!

Hello Quilters!
 
Check out the pattern section of the site, I have added several new patterns that are jelly roll, charm pack and fat quarter friendly!  Take a close look at the Tossed Nine Patch by Eleanor Burns.  The pattern has the fabric requirements for a lap, twin, queen and king size quilts.  You can put it together as shown on the pattern cover or add sashing and corner stones for a bit larger quilt and it also includes instructions for adding an additional border from a charm pack.  I made the blocks for a demonstration at our guild meeting and was just going to make enough to demo the technique, but it was so fast and fun that I did them all in about an hour and a half!  This would make a nice quick and easy gift!
 
The plans for the retreat have been finalized.  Due to a conflict in scheduling, I had to change the dates to July 18, 19, and 20.  It will be held at the Quilt Inn in Granbury and the cost will be $180.00 per person.  The quilt we will be making is the Stacked 4-Patch Posey with a Twist!  The fee includes room, meals and your kit for the quilt.  You have the option for your quilt to be spring colors or fall colors, fabrics and prints may vary.  Space is limited, email me if you are interested and I will get you signed up!
 
The next big event for me is the Stars Over Texas Quilt Show in Abilene, Texas.  I have been attending this show as a "viewer" for several years and it is always a very nice show.  Lots of quilts and good vendors!  If you happen to be in the area, drop in and say hello!!
 
Still planning a big in-store sale for the month of July.  Lots of things will be on sale and whatever else I decide to do at the time!
 
As usual, quilts are calling, until next time - Happy Quilting! - Angela
