We have a great line up of classes planned for quilters and sewers who would like to expand their creative knowledge, whether it’s pieced, appliqued, embroidered, paper-pieced, or created with a Kit or rolled through the Accuquitl GO! We have something for everyone.

Why not start by learning a new tool? We have many great tools in the shop to make your quilting projects faster and easier. The hottest tool currently is the Half Hexie Ruler. Use it to make fun folded designs into potholders during our Morning Star class. Try out the Mini Quick Curve Ruler in Mini Rings, the sister quilt to Metro Rings. Or use the Triangler Ruler, which makes kaleidoscope designs easy to construct, in Stars in a Row.

Great new patterns and kits are available in the store. You must see the NEW Dance of the Dragonflies, which is a raw edge applique quilt, and the Crystal Sapphire, which is all precut for you and ready to assemble. These quilts are truly bursting with color.

We have many Retreats coming up! Join us for the Ruler Play Workshop with Paula Reid, where you will utilize the New Sew Steady Rulers. Be sure to get signed up for the "You Know You're a Quilter When" Retreat. Enjoy 2 whole fun-filled days of Quilting, Friendships and lots of learning. Take your embroidery to the next level with the Kimberbell Embroidery Retreat. It's two days of fun and crafting in the hoop.

We have many “Block of the Months” coming. Join us for not one, but two NEW Saturday Samplers, “The Good Life” and “Starry Sky.” We also have the Charmed Adventure Embroidablock of the month by Hoop Sisters and Quilt's Patch Stitch Play. All are sure to be a blast.

We are excited for the New Year and can’t wait to see you in the classroom. May your year be bright and full of new adventures!
