ForeverMore, by Pam Buda, will be a Summer Block of the Month.
Marti has now finished the quilt top, and we're taking one last look at all the start information (fabric key and Month 1 instructions). If you've signed up, we should be contacting you within the next week or so.
Join us if you want a challenge - this project is not for beginners! Since some of the smaller blocks finish at 3 inches, we recommend that you only take on this project if you're a confident intermediate quilter.
*Click on the image for a closer look at the quilt.
Please email us at staff@yankeepridequilts.com, or give us a call at 802/872-9300 if you're interested in signing up for this gorgeous project! For those customers living far away, we're happy to mail each month's package to you for a small additional fee.

UPDATE: Emma has begun! Thank you so much for your patience. The fabric arrived, and Marti got busy cutting kits right away. There may be a spot or two left, so if you'd like to join us, call the shop as soon as possible. Space is limited!
NEW: The shop sample is complete and hanging near the front door - stop in and see this fabulous quilt!
Judy believes that confident beginners will be able to tackle this quilt. If you've taken Ruth's Machine Piecing class, or if you're a veteran of our Mystery Quilts, you should be able to construct this quilt with little problem.

Monday - Saturday: 10-5
Sunday: closed
These are our new permanent hours at the shop. We know that several of you can't always make it before 5, but you do have an option:
If you can't get to the shop by closing, you can call us during that day and let us know you'd like to stop in just after 5. We will stay open until 5:30 so you have some time to shop.
If you have questions, please give us a call or email us at staff@yankeepridequilts.com.
Thank you!

Loving Camp Life
by Henry Glass
|
Fun fabrics for a summer project! The blue and green fish (bottom in photo) have a calming effect when you look at them. Either print makes a great pillowcase for the little camper in your life. The camping print (top in photo) has lots of cool, colorful motifs - beware of the bear!! |
|
|
|
|
This is a really lovely line! Mostly small prints, some have a vintage look, and others look new. Cindy's got her eye on the tiny flowers (right of green in photo) to make a dress for that new granddaughter! If you enjoy unique florals, check these out.

Paula's Companions II
from Paula Barnes
by Marcus Fabrics
|
Judy liked how these three prints would fit right into our Repro inventory. We're down on greens right now, so she's always looking for more. That rusty brown (top in photo) can provide a much-needed pop to an older project you're trying to finish. |

Century Solids
by Andover Fabrics
|
Look at this lovely rainbow of color! Yes, we love Kona, but Judy ordered a few of these last fall to try out, and discovered she really enjoys working with them. She thought you would, too, so here are 14 new colors for your solids collection. Are you thinking about making an Amish-style quilt? Give these a try! |
|
Midnight Magic
from Renee Nanneman
by Andover Fabrics
|
Sometimes, a stark black is just too much for your project. So you look for black with a little texture - a subtle print. That's what these are! Top left looks like a tiny maze - good luck getting out! And bottom right seems to be gentle dark brown waves against the black. |

Garden Gatherings
from Primitive Gatherings
by Moda
|
Some more Repro green! The small motifs and repetitive prints will tuck nicely into your stash, ready for your next project. The cheddar and purple prints (center in photo) are great accents - they will definitely catch your eye. Yup - Judy's added another bolt of her least favorite color (the cheddar)! |
|
Here are a few fun Halloween prints! The cats (bottom in photo) are very intriguing, with their orange eyes, and creepy gray coloring. We think the allover print (top in photo) makes a great Trick-or-Treat bag for the kids. |

Too Cute to Spook!
from Me and My Sister Designs
by Moda
|
The ladies at Me and My Sister have taken on Halloween, and look how great the prints are! Lots of useful coordinates, and that pumpkin print (center in photo) will make great home decoration, or fun Trick-or-Treat bags. Look closely and you'll see that a few of the coordinates actually have a 1930s feel to them. How did they do that? |

Thank you for being our customer, for supporting us, and thank you for continuing to believe in shopping local.
