News from Quilter's JEM for the week of 1/21/20
1525 Central Ave NW / East Grand Forks MN 56721 / (218) 399-0159 / www.quiltersjem.com
Hello Friends!
One way to deal with the cold winds, towers of snow, and realization that we're only about halfway through winter is to dream about summer. Hot sunny days, picnics, ice cream you eat fast before it melts, and warm nights watching fireworks. To help inspire your Fourth of July dreams, we have bolts and a panel from Truckin' in the USA. How cute is that doggy in the back of the pickup!?!
Also new this week are selections from Vineyard
And... Attention all Kim Diehl fans!! We just received her new line, LIBERTY STAR, so stop by and check it out! I must say, the beautiful reds, creams, and teals look fantastic all lined up on the shelf!!
You know those times when you find yourself hanging out somewhere, just waiting? Maybe for a kid's lesson or sports event to wrap up, or in a doctor's office. Or maybe you like to have something to keep your hands busy while you watch TV? English paper piecing is perfect for times like these, and may be just the thing for you!
It's portable, and is an easy method to learn.
Katja Marek's New Hexagon 2 book in stock now! Don't know how to EPP? Stop by the shop and ask one of us to show you how!
There's still time to book your year-long virtual Italian vacation!
The only vacation that actually builds your thread library!
First meeting: Meetings will be held the last Thursday of the month with a few exceptions.
There's only 1 spot left, so if you have been wanting to sign up, now is the time!! You can register online, or in the store.
Registration closes January 31.
For online registration from the homepage, choose shop>block of the month>aurifil color builders club to register.
The cost is $39.99 per month which includes three1300m spools of Aurifil 50wt thread, a mystery block of the month pattern, and a free gift provided by Quilter's JEM. Then join us each month for an Italian dessert at the thread pickup party. (If you are a snowbird, we will gladly ship the items to you and you can participate in dessert when you return).
We're beginning a 10-month Mystery Block of the Month designed by Pat Sloan and there's still time for you to join us!
The First Month's Block!
We still have five different fabric bundles for you to choose from, so stop by the shop or go online to check them out! There will be a pattern for one 12" block each month for a total of 9 blocks, plus setting instructions. The quilt finishes at 58" x 66". After making the first block, I can say that Pat's instructions are well-written and easy to follow!
