Bigfork Quilts, Etc.
March 2015
Hello,
We have been ignoring winter and having a great time here in the shop! This has, for the most part, been a very mild winter but I am happy to know that spring is almost here. Remember to set your clocks ahead on the 8th.
We have some great classes scheduled for you this month. Come in and join us for a fun time to learn new skills and/or practice new techniques.
Sandi
Thursdays, Mar. 5, 12*, 19 & 26* Open Sewing, 10am to 4 pm
*Open ‘til 6 pm on the 2nd and 4th
Thursdays.
Bring
your own project and join us for a day of fun, productivity (if you choose) and
laughter. We can order lunch or bring your own. If you are so inclined, several
of us meet at 9am for breakfast at the Bigfork Café on the corner of 35 &
83.
Noranne has taken an idea and made it into a great table runner or a small table topper with a fun shape. Use the templates provided or your Tri Recs rulers.
Friday, Mar. 20, Twisted
Fibers
*Sandi* 10 am to 4 pm,
$10.00 We have patterns for our new project! I guess the weather in the mid-west affected the postal service! As always, the pattern is the starting point for your imagination to kick in. Also, know that if you have a project you are working on, you are welcome to bring it! Just remember, no machines allowed today.
Saturday, Mar. 28, Fat Quarter Table Runner *Clara* 10 am-4
pm, $35.00
We have a few kits available for this project. The fabric is red, black, white and roosters! This is a ‘quilt as you sew’ pattern and uses 4 fat quarters and 2/3 yard for the back plus the batting and ¼ yd. binding. The finished project has a woven look which appealed to me. We should be able to finish this during class time with Clara’s excellent teaching skills.
Tuesday, Mar. 31, Bobbin Work *Monique* 1- am-4 pm, $35.00
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, rulers, 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.
