This is just one example of many wonderful designs by Linda Hohag that can find a place in your project bag. Linda's company, Brandywine Designs, publishes numerous patterns and books that can be chosen for this class, taught by the designer! Her technique of starch application to prepare pieces makes them suitable for either machine or hand stitching, and she will cover both in class. Linda has been featured in popular quilting magazines and her fabrics are exceptional. We usually have to turn away students for this class, but right now you can call and reserve your place. Class is Friday, October 24 from 10 AM - 2 PM. Cost is $30. Call 651-429-1039
Debbie and I had the opportunity to get away and get several things pieced together that will be showing up at the store sometime soon. We had some good quality time with our machines and time to mull over new ideas and projects. I worked on 3 "bonus projects" that will be included in our new BOM Back Home Again starting soon. One of them is this little quilt of scrappy squares of the fabrics leftover after piecing the quilt top. There is still time to sign up! Debbie completed the next tablerunner-of-the-month, celebrating St. Patrick's Day. She works hard to find something new and interesting every month, you can find them rotating through a display above the cash register, and purchase/order one or all! Debbie also stitched together this cute apron, currently on display in our front window featuring all sorts of great apron samples. At this time of year many of us really need a recharge on our personal battery, and setting aside some time for our sewing helps a lot. The pleasure of working with needle and thread on beautiful fabric is therapy!
