The Halloween Haunt has returned! |
Why not end the month of October with a little fun?
Visit A Quilter's Garden, Quilting With Color, and Yankee Pride from October 27 - 30 and have a great time with your friends!
Tour tickets will be available during the Haunt for $4. Visit each shop and get your ticket stamped. When your Tour is complete, turn in your stamped ticket to be entered into a Grand Prize drawing.
We'll have free Trick or Treat bags for the first 175 customers to buy their Tour Tickets, and goodies for everyone.
Each shop will have a free pattern to hand out. Put the patterns together, and make this fun Halloween wall hanging. Kits will also be available.

This collection of classes will take you through fall and winter, and into the spring. We hope there's something for everyone to enjoy. Clicking on the links below will take you directly to each class page.
Series 2: Beginning Sewing Series
These classes will be taught by Marti and Ruth, and begin October 17.
Brand-new courses at Yankee Pride, these classes are aimed toward people who are new to sewing. We found lots of new sewers during the pandemic, and they want to keep on learning. Beginning Sewing is broken down into three classes, covering accessories and home decor. Take one class, or all three!
Series 3: Technique Workshops
These one-time workshops will be taught by Yankee Pride staff.
We're offering several workshops, covering many quilting techniques. Most are basic, but they're things that can be improved in your sewing by learning tips and tricks, and with some practice. Click on the technique for more information or to sign up online:
You may sign up for one or more of these workshops, or for the whole series.
If you have questions, please give us a call at 802/872-9300.

Pearl Light
by Robert Kaufman
|
These three fabrics have been pearlized - given a shimmer on top of the abstract print. They're quite lovely! The shimmer is more subtle than the sparkly prints we see sometimes. Each one of these works so nicely in landscape quilts (think sky, cliffs, sand, rock, and trees), and if your creative juices are flowing, you'll find other places to add them.

Petal Power
from Me and My Sister Designs
by Moda
|
These ladies design such fun fabrics! This line is a touch different, though. The motifs are familiar, but each of the colors are a shade darker than their usual. Check out the focus print we got (upper right in photo) - the color combination reminds us of the 70s! They're still fabulous, and we can certainly make lots of fun things. |
|
In addition, Judy ordered Charm Packs of this line (photo at left), so we have these in stock, too!

Alphabetosaurus
by Robert Kaufman
|
Check out this great panel (photo at left)! Dinosaurs from each letter of the alphabet! Dinos never go out of style - customers are always asking for them. This one makes an easy baby or throw quilt, just by adding borders. The coordinates (photo below) are a stylized version of dinosaur skin, in fun colors. Put them all together, add a few tone-on-tones, and the little archaeologist in your life will be thrilled! |

Notes, News & Other Interesting Stuff |
|
We've been carrying Red Button Co. holiday patterns for several years now. Since they're so popular, Marti decided to expand our inventory, and ordered some everyday patterns. What customers love about these (and us, too!) is that they're small projects, and the pattern includes the cute buttons that make them irresistible. At right is "Black-Eyed Susan", and below is "Follow Your Heart". |

Thank you for being our customer, for supporting us, and thank you for continuing to believe in shopping local.
Judy, Rae, Marti, Suzanne, Cindy, Wendy, Kathy, Marjan, Deanna, and Kay
