Let's get them started young

Last week we held another beginner class. Here is one of our beginners with two of her Log Cabin blocks. She got all four of her blocks done in the morning class. The class included topics such as how to use a rotary cutter safely, then finding and keeping to the elusive quarter inch seam, reading and following a pattern and the importance of pressing carefully. She had a great time based on the smile on her face. We will continue to offer classes but not likely many in the winter as the roads in and around Port Elgin can be impassable with very little notice.

Another Store sample ready to hang

We had a number of half meter cuts in the store from various fabric lines. Joanne found this pattern and it uses 6 half yard cuts. So a sample was put together. The pattern is from Cozy Quilt Designs and is called Corporate Ladder. They have several patterns that use 1/2 yard cuts.
It is Thanksgiving weekend and in Saugeen Shores that usually signifies the end of summer. We have a few classes booked from now until mid-November. At that time the traveling can become challenging and we will not likely be booking significant class events over the winter months. That of course could be subject to review.
Before traveling does become an issue make sure you drop by. elaine has an amazing variety of fabrics in our small little store and we are always happy to see you.  Joanne
