We apologize for the Quiltzette going out on Thursday. Late yesterday, our website was down, so that we did not have access to it, nor could we post anything. No idea what the glitch was... but glad to be back up and running today!

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE FEET

Foot Fetish … Mastering BERNINA Presser Feet
Saturday, August 10, 2019 
9:00-5:00
$25.00
Skill Level: All

This class is a little play on words between an unusual fascination and an inanimate object thought to have magical powers. We find it fitting because we have an unusual fascination with the amazing capabilities presented by the selection of BERNINA presser feet. Too, we know that many of you have looked at projects that used simple presser foot techniques and thought that it was magic. Well, now we are offering our Foot Fetish class so that you can take your unusual fascination with amazing quilting ideas, and turn it into very practical daily techniques that will make others think that you can do magic with fabric! Attendees will get to sample a wide variety of feet and experience first hand all the amazing things that can be created. Here are some of the feet we will be using: Foot #10, Foot #12, Foot #20,
Foot #23, Feet #37, 57, 97, Foot #40, Foot #64, Buttonhole #3A and Foot #18, Walking Foot, BERNINA Stitch Regulator, Ruffler Attachment and Binding Attachment. Whew!
*Note: BERNINA presser feet are Buy 2, Get One Free in August!

THIRD THURSDAY DEMO

ART & LANDSCAPE GROUP

Art & Landscape Group – Blocks Without Borders
Thursday, August 15, 2019
1:00
Blocks Without Borders (an Art & Landscape Society) meets on the Third Thursday of each month at 1 p.m.  Prepare to exchange ideas, along with giving and receiving inspiration.  Don’t forget to bring your Show-N-Tell! We will have a door prize! No RSVP necessary.

August: In July we had a wonderful turn out for show and tell of our “Necessity” challenge. Individual creations from the serious, to the sentimental to just good fun interpretations were shown. We are an organic group of creators, all learning from each other as we explore art quilting possibilities. 

• Our next challenge is ” A Picture is worth 1000 words or is it”!!! Completion by September meeting. Some wonderful ideas are percolating.

• Lou Ann Jacobson Ball is spearheading a delightful project to support the new Montezuma County Historical Museum. She has provided historical photos of our area for us to replicate in quilt blocks 10 x 12 size. These should be finished by January so that the 20 block quilt can be raffled/auctioned in April.

• We didn’t finish our embellishment panel discussion last month so bring, samples, ideas or anything that says embellishment to you!

• Come join us on Thursday August 15th

NEW FABRIC

I am still enjoying summer, as they fly by so fast. Autumn will be here before you know it, and our new collections are arriving just in time to create and decorate for fall.

Your guests will be grateful when they sit down in your home decorated with this stunning collection of fall fabrics. Rich tones, combined with metallic highlights are featured.

Our sample is filled with a classy country style will look great in your home. We have kits available.

Nothing says Fall like pumpkins! Harvest Berry features a wonderful pumpkin panel - just hang it up on the front door to welcome the season, or cut it apart and use the squares. There’s also Harvest-colored prints in leaves, plaids, vines and more… in rich shades of rust, gold and green. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the season. We have the fabric collection, charm packs and kits available.

It’s October 31st, and there are ghosts and goblins everywhere! What better way to welcome them home than with fun glow-in-the-dark Halloween prints!  Not only do the prints glow in the dark, they’re fun in the light, in bright shades of oranges, purples and other neat Halloween colors. Use Faboolous Fun prints to start your own Halloween tradition.
For our sample, we used a log cabin pattern, but added a spooky twist!

Brighten up your sewing room with this fun panel that says it all! This would also make a great gift to give your quilting friends.

Fleurette  is a great new collection of small colorful floral patterns so popular for scrappy-looking quilts & lots of other craft & sewing projects.  These also work very well if you are taking one of the Wedding Ring classes we are offering.This collection has a variety of different flowers so you can mix and match to your hearts content.  The flowers include: rose garden, blooms, florals, blossoms, and vines over a collection of summer backgrounds
