A Little Bit of 1930.

 

WHAT'S NEW

 

1930's Texas Star Starter Kit

 

 

 

 

This is our new 1930's Texas Star - Starter Kit, and it has happened because staffer Marj, who is the queen of machine piecing, made this beautiful hand pieced and quilted masterpiece.  Here it is hanging on the pink wall in the shop.  So many customers have admired it and wanted to know how to make it, we decided to make up the Starter Kit.  Full details of the Kit are in our web-site under "Kits".  Starter Packs costs $65.00 each. 

So please come and visit the shop to see Marj's lovely quilt.

NEW BARBARA BRACKMAN BLOCK OF THE WEEK

 

Last year, Barbara Brackman, quilt historian and author AND fabric designer for Moda gave us a her Civil War Block of the Week published for free on her blog see our Blog List.  Thank you so much Barbara.  A number of staff and friends took up this challenge.  Here is another completed top, this is Kate's.  Just love the sashing fabric, makes the top sing.  You can still get all these patterns on her Civil War blog.

 

 

 

Barbara has just launched her new Block of the Week, Grandmother's Choice.  The blog address is

http://grandmotherschoice.blogspot.ca/  I will attempt to add this one to our blog list. In this Block of the Week Barbara is showcasing blocks from about 100 years age, the period of the Women's Rights Movements.  The Suffragettes.  Also an interesting period for quilts. 

 

Janet, who has completly finished her Civil War, Block of the Week quilt, is now off and sewing on the new one.  Janet has chosen to make these blocks in "William Morris" fabrics, which is just perfect for this period.  

 

 

 

We will track her progress, but these are a intriguing start.

 

Why don't you start one too.
