Bee Modern Quilt Group Misses Out on Baked Apples. . .

 At our September Bee Modern Quilt Group meeting I was a no show.  That's a problem when you're the meeting's hostess and the group can't get in.  To show my remorse, I said I would bring dessert for this month's meeting.
I brought baked apples that were still warm and whipped cream.  And this time no one else showed.
Therefore, I took the apples home and ate one.  Boy, was it hmm, hmm, good.

Since I was the only one to show at our meeting, I've decided what our next month's project will be but I'm not telling.  Everyone who attends needs to bring (5) 1 1/2" strips from four different fat quarters.  Are you in for the mystery?  If so, mark your calendar for Tuesday, November 12 at 6:30pm.  I hope to see you there.

Blessings,
Karri

Bigfork Quilts, Etc. October & November Class Schedules Ready. . .

For the first time ever, we've pulled our class schedule together enough to post two months at once.  Now we'll just have to work (Karri that is) on getting it out a little more timely.  Oh, well, there's always something to strive for:)

We have two classes with guest teachers scheduled for October.  Virginia Compton and Shirley Parra are teaching Atlantic Flyaway on Friday, October 4.  
Cotton Theory's Button Back Runner will be taught by Mo Harrah Wednesday, October 30.  We are excited with the opportunity to offer classes with these special guests and hope you can join us.

For those of you interested in handwork, we have Mary teaching hand quilting and beginning hand applique, as well as our monthly Twisted Fibers get together.  Twisted Fibers has a new instructor as Sandi will be taking over for Karri.

We have two winter projects scheduled in November.  One is a Chick-a-dees raw edge applique wallhanging.  The other is a Photo Frame Quilt, a great Christmas gift.  This quilt is made to frame actual photos, not just the fabric ones.

Clara will be teaching one of her favorite techniques One Block Wonder.  It's always amazing to see how many different blocks can come out of one piece of fabric.

Karri has a longarm group class scheduled in November.  Our monthly classes are also scheduled:  Table Topper Club and Block-of-the-Month. 

Visit our class schedule page for classes, dates, and fees for the upcoming months and give us a call or email us and we'll put you on the class list.

Blessings,
Karri & Sandi
