It has been a fabulous week!
Weather-wise, here in Vermont, the sun has been shining, and the temperatures are comfortable - almost fall-like. School has started, fall sports have started, and life here is very busy. Somehow, in the busyness of these days, there's a mood shift, and even with all that's going on, we want to sew again. To pick up a project, and get to it. We see it in you, and we feel it ourselves. It's time to create again!
We are thinking of our friends in south Texas right now, though, and hoping everyone is staying safe. If you want to donate to Hurricane Harvey relief, please check a web site like
Charity Navigator to make sure your donations are going straight to the efforts - they need everything they can get.
The Fall 2017 Class Schedule is out! Click
here for the full schedule, or
here to go to our web page. Signing up is as easy as a phone call, a visit, or a click on your computer. Upcoming September classes are listed below.

Fall 2017 Mystery Quilt Class
It's almost that time - the Fall 2017 Mystery Quilt Class starts this month! The fabric and yardage requirements are right
here. Judy says, "This will be a classic block and lattice quilt. The blocks are stars, and the two background fabrics form a pattern behind the main design." Students will be using Studio 180's Tucker Trimmer, Wing Clipper, and Corner Pop rulers.
To sign up, call the shop, stop in, or click
here to go to our web site. We hope you're as excited to get started as we are! Don't forget - the deadline for signups is Wednesday, September 20.
Fall 2017 Mystery dates: September 23, October 7 & 21, November 4 & 18, December 2.
Spring 2017 Mystery Reunion: This will be held on Saturday, September 16 at 9:30 a.m. Bring your project to be photographed for the web site. This is always a great time!

 We're more than halfway there! Anyone interested in showing off your blocks, or coming in with Blockhead questions, we'll be at the shop on Saturday, September 23, at 11 a.m. We have a great time chatting about this sew-along.

Judy was looking for some small prints and faint textures for the shop - these prints from Jo's new collection fit the bill! Who couldn't use a pretty beige, or a dusky pink in their projects?
 Ann's Arbor
by Moda
We can always use light, pretty background prints. This group will cheer up your next project, and bring a smile to your face while you're working on it.
 Bird Watchers
by P&B Textiles
Pretty bird prints can be hard to come by sometimes. This new group will satisfy bird lovers and color enthusiasts alike! These fabrics can be used in quilts, home dec items, aprons, clothing, and more.
 Crystals by P&B Textiles We always need subtly textured fabrics to add interest to our quilts. This group is great for that - just a hint of print, and lovely colors.

Notions, News & Other Notes
Several new books arrived at the shop this week - just in time for our weekend sale!! Here are two of our favorites.
 A Change of Seasons, by Bonnie Sullivan, (at right) contains patterns for wool applique, hand embroidery, and patchwork. Pick your favorite, and make something new for the holidays!
 Quilt Matchup: Stash vs. Cash, by Linda Hahn, (at left) is a great book for someone wanting to use up their scraps. She gives you two options for making each quilt: Stash (using what you have on hand), and Cash (heading to the quilt shop to buy new fabric). There's something for everyone here!
