1ST SATURDAY BREAKFAST CLUB

Debuts:

*We will be revealing our new fabrics, patterns, and projects.

*Bring your 2019 Quilting/Sewing Bucket List to share with everyone else. Create your own, or copy this version found here

*We are going to play Block Lotto. Here’s how it works. We choose five fabrics from one of our new collections and cut a fat-eight of each one. At the 1st Saturday Breakfast Club, or anytime after, you purchase that packet of fabric for $7 and make two 12-inch (finished size) blocks of your choice. Bring your blocks to the shop where they’ll be on display with all the others. For each block you turn in you are entered into a drawing to win ALL the blocks. Drawings will be held on the last day of each month and winner will be eligible for 10% off fabric to finish the quilt if desired (sashing, borders, binding, backing).

*We will have a small gift for those who attend!
