Bigfork Quilts, Etc.

November 2015

Hello,

 I just want to let you know about a few things that are coming up in the next few weeks. We are participating in Make a Difference Day on Sat. 10/24. From now until the end of Oct., bring in a pillowcase which will be donated to Intermountain in Kalispell. This is a place that restores hope for children and a very good cause. We will give you a free fat quarter for each pillowcase brought in.

 We will also have a sale starting 10/24 and going through 10/29. Most product in the shop will be 20% off. The usual exclusions (items already on sale and classes, etc.) will apply.

 We will be closed for Thanksgiving. An update on Holiday hours will be out in the next couple of weeks.

Be Blessed,

Sandi & Staff

Looking for something a little extra special for that appliqué project?  Or perhaps you just have a pile of colorful fabric that you're not quite sure what to do with.  Using the techniques from the book Simply Stunning Woven Quilts by Anna Faustino, we'll explore how to create a beautiful background by weaving two (or more fabrics) into one gorgeous work of art!  Bring your inner child and let's play.

We will be working on the Fall, cornstalk, quilt. These are very cute, quick-to-make wall hangings measuring 12”x 24”. They use fusible applique, offer opportunity for embellishments and we have kits available for $12.50 each month. Join the club and come in to pick up your kit or stay and work. Melanie will be available for instruction as needed. The benefit for joining the club is a 15% discount on purchases made on class day whether it is related to class or not. The club fee is $20.00.

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.

 

 

 

Hello,

 Are you enjoying these cool mornings (and days)? Soon, our garden beds will be put to rest and it will be time for quilting again. Come join us for some classes and events.

 There are a couple of interesting ‘holidays’ for this month that I think we will celebrate. Tues., Oct. 13^th

is Face Your Fears day. Look in your project stack and take one out that you might have questions about and come in to the shop with it. We will answer questions and help you out as much as possible. Karri will be on hand to answer quilting questions also. Another day to celebrate is Sat., Oct 24^th, Make a Difference day.  Bring in a completed pillowcase any time from the 19th through the 24^th and receive a free fat quarter for each pillowcase donated. A free pattern can be found online. Pillowcases will be donated to Intermountain in Kalispell. This is a place that restores hope for children and a very good cause.

Be Blessed,

Sandi & Staff
