News from Quilter's JEM for the week of 6/5/19
1525 Central Ave NW / East Grand Forks MN 56721 / (218) 399-0159 / www.quiltersjem.com
Hello Friends!
Summer is here, and with it comes our summer hours! We will be open 10-5:30 Monday-Friday, just as we usually are, but on Saturday we will be changing our hours to 10am-3pm. We will still be closed on Sundays.
Doesn't summer make you nostalgic for when you were a kid? Remember that delicious release from the school year schedules, spending the day playing with your best friend, and being outside for as long as possible? Stacy Iset Hsu's Best Friends Forever line reminds me of those days! Charm packs of Best Friends Forever are the JEM of the Week this week - usually $9.99, but this week $8.99! And we have terrific coordinates for this charm pack, too!
We just cut these beautiful bundles of soft red, white, and blue plaids - the bundles contain 5/8 yds of each fabric which makes it perfect for a 63"x77" Rag Time quilt. Can you imagine a better 4th of July picnic quilt??
We have Crystal Manning's Penny Lane pattern, shown here done in the bright happy colors of her Growing Beautiful line.
We also have kits for the X and + pattern, and the sample is in progress!
Quilter's JEM has been open long enough to generate some scrap bundles! Come and see which one you fall in love with!
New this week is Adventure Awaits from Clothworks, including a panel full of such truths as "Coffee tastes better at the cabin" - which is also true of campsites! We also have coordinating bolts from this fun, outdoorsy line.
Last week I gave you a sneak peek of one of the Christmas fabrics we'll be unveiling at our A Minnesota Christmas Comes to Quilter's JEM event, August 1-15. Here is another one, this time from a finished project that would be so beautiful beneath your tree!
Our Sew in Love Quilt-Along starts later this month! More details below in the class listings!
Be sure to check the class listings below, especially if you are interested in learning to quilt using your home machine (6/19)!
Our Summer Moon Quilt-Along will be starting up in August - sign ups are open and we have the book and FQ bundles in lots of different styles - modern, traditional, vintage, neutral, you name it! Join the club for weekly emails with tips and examples!
Shop hopping this summer? If you and your friends or small group are shop hopping this summer, be sure to let us know you plan to stop by the shop - we would love the chance to plan something fun for you!
Upcoming classes:
Reverse Applique Pillow with Jan! Make this beautiful pillow from Tilda Fabric's Sewing by Heart book - learn a fun new technique! Class is 7/11, 1-5pm. Come in and see the sample!
We'll also have an embroidery class starting soon! Details are in the works!
