Bigfork Quilts, Etc.
Sept., 2014 Classes
Hello,
We have had a lovely summer here in Bigfork
and were happy to see many of our friends come in to see what we had happening.
I hope you all had a great summer.
Last month I mentioned that we would start the
12 Weeks of Christmas this month. I hope you will enjoy our classes. This month
we will start with a sale.
Come join us for a day with
your quilting friends.
Blessings,
Sandi

Thursdays, Sept. 4, 11*, 18 and 25*

Bring
your own project and join in the laughter and camaraderie! We can order lunch
or bring your own.
Demo
Wed. Sept. 10, *Sandi*

Come in and see
how easy it is to make a small folder for gift cards, business cards or credit
cards. We can also show you how to measure and make a cover for a reader or sketchbook.
Benefit for the Chaffins
Fri. Sept. 12, 5 pm – 7:30 pm
There will be
a benefit to help Toni (she is President of the Piecemakers’ Quilt Guild) and
Rick. He is recovering from an ATV accident and the bills are steep. There will
be a spaghetti dinner, music, dancing and raffle items. For more information,
please call the shop 406/837-7111.
Twisted Fibers
Fri. Sept. 12, *Sandi* $10.00
10 am – 4 pm
Come join us
for the day and bring your handwork. Ok, some of us are working on a Spring
design, but maybe it will be done for Christmas! We can help with some creative
stitches for your project.
Victorian Table Runner
Sat. Sept. 20 *Carol Cole* $35.00
10am - 4pm
This is a
great table runner with an unusual shape and a cathedral window effect. Carol’s
instructions make it simple to put to together. It’s a great decoration for the
home and a great gift to give.
Pinwheel Parade
Wed. Sept 24, *Karri* $35.00
10am – 4pm
We have pulled some colorful Christmas fabrics to make this fun, quick
quilt. Most of us do not want to spend weeks on a seasonal quilt and this is
fits the bill for some color to cuddle in.
What‘cha Got?
Tues. Sept. 30, *Cinda Raymond* $35.00 10am-4pm
Cinda has made a few of these bags at Open Sewing. She is having fun with
them and we thought she should come teach us how to get them done quickly and
easily. They are great little carry-alls.
I want everyone to know that we are doing our best to
have all of the supplies needed for our classes. We intend to have patterns,
fusibles, threads, needles, etc. If you do not have something at home already,
please give us a call to see if we have it available.
Thank you, Sandi.
