A note from Cindy:
Thank you to every single person who took part in our most recent collections for Laurie's House! Some of you donated fabric, quilt tops, or finished quilts. Others stitched bindings or did machine quilting for us. It is all very appreciated. This week, Cindy will deliver 42 quilts to Laurie's House!! They range from baby to queen, and will be loved by all who receive them. The photo at right may look rather ho-hum, but it's the SEVEN bags filled with the quilts to be delivered.
I have run across a few issues with the donated quilts, so I just ask that you take the time to look over your finished quilts before you drop them off:
*Please trim threads when you see them. We don't want babies or small children getting their fingers caught in them.
*Please stitch your binding down firmly - stitches should be approximately 1/4" apart. If they're any farther apart than that, the binding won't hold up to frequent washing. We have some bindings like this that need to be redone before they can be donated.
*Please check for holes or open seams. I have a few quilts that need to be extensively repaired due to both, and they cannot be donated in this condition.
*Please make sure your fabric hasn't run. I received a donation where the red fabrics have bled all over the quilt, both front and back, and it cannot be donated in this condition.
Click here to see some of the quilts being delivered to Laurie's House. I've been taking photos of random donations, so you can see the variety of quilts - of different fabrics and patterns, from quilters of all skill levels. We thank you again. We are so thrilled to provide some comfort for those who need it the most.
If you're interested in donating tops or finished quilts, please email me at cindy@yankeepridequilts.com, or drop them off at the shop with my name on them.

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.
Our Beginner class, which is Introduction to Quilting has been scheduled for Winter 2022. This class is for those who want to get started learning the basics of quilting.

This small group has some really pretty prints! The florals (top and bottom in photo) are stylized a bit, giving them a whimsical look - always fun! The coordinates actually look very calico, which some of our customers really love. These prints will definitely make a cool bag, or interesting table decor. |

Never Enough Dots
from Whistler Studios
by Windham Fabrics
|
A few of our customers do not like dot prints - you can skip over this part! Most, however, really love them. These two prints are wonderful for bright, cheerful quilts, whether you're using them on the front of a quilt or the back. They're fun to use in bags, too! |

A is for Animals
from Whistler Studios
by Windham Fabrics
|
What we really love about this line is that they include animals who are a little less represented in kids fabrics - like jellyfish and seagulls, quetzals and vultures. It's always fun to learn about 'new' animals when you're a kid! Plan a fun, easy project, and start sewing! We also have the overall animal print (top in photo) in flannel! |
|
No matter the year, this line is always popular! What's not to like? Beautiful blues and yellows, classic floral prints, both large and small, and pretty coordinates. In addition, the ones you buy now go with the ones already in your stash - it's a win-win! |
|
Knowing how we love the fabric line - both customers and staff - Judy ordered 20 different prints! This year, there are paisleys playing among the flowers, small clusters of daisies, and a few tone-on-tone prints to accent your project. |

Notions, News & Other Interesting Stuff |
|
Along with all that gorgeous fabric, Judy ordered jelly rolls and layer cakes of Summer Breeze. They won't last long, so stop in and pick one up soon! Aren't you hanging onto a precut pattern, waiting for just the right fabric?
