Scrap Busting String Quilt Class

We are going to offer a class on Saturday, August 11 to teach string block assembly.  This class does not require a book or pattern but we are sure that when you complete your first string block and then your first string quilt, you will be hungry as can be for more patterns and inspiration to use up your stash.  It’s a fun and easy project that is as simple and economical as can be.  The quilt you make can be as big as you want, or as small as you would like it to be.  The fabric you use can be brights, civil war, batiks, patriotics, a combination of all, or whatever suits your mood and stash.   Below is a baby floor quilt using brights – this will make a wonderful baby shower gift and it used up a tremendous amount of scraps from Susan’s stash!  Call today to reserve a spot for this Scrap Busting String Quilt Class!  

Saturday, August 11^th

The supply list is available at the store or request it via email.  

In honor of our nation’s birthday we will be closed Wednesday, July 4^th to consume hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw!
