National Sew A Jelly Roll Day
Dates: Saturday,
September 21
Time: 10am-5pm
National Sew A Jelly Roll Day celebrates quilters of every generation and skill level with this annual event.
If you're a quilter, you collect fabric. You may also collect "pre-cuts", those tempting packages of many pieces of fabric already cut for you into charming sizes. They're so popular, there is even a special lingo associated with them - layer cakes and dessert rolls, honey buns and jelly rolls.
Come in any time between 10 AM and 5 PM. We will have door prizes and snacks! There will be jelly rolls and patterns for you to purchase (with your bag a bargain discount) or bring your own with you. Moda also has lots of free downloads in the
bake shop. Please register so we will have a space for you. Bring a friend or three! You will need to bring your own machines and sewing supplies.
We will have "SEW MUCH FUN!"

Stop by to see my new sample of Hearthstone using Jo Morton's new line Shelbyville. This was an easy one to make with 12.5" blocks and no half square triangles! Yet it has the very graphic traditional look that many of us love. Kits available.

Kim Diehl has announced the next series of
Simple Whatnots 9
