News from Quilter's JEM for the week of 3/6/20
1525 Central Ave NW / East Grand Forks MN 56721 / (218) 399-0159 / www.quiltersjem.com
Hello Friends!
We're highlighting our bright and beautiful batiks at the shop this week - they've moved up to sparkle in the natural light through our front doors! A project with the feel of the tropics might be just what you need to get through the end of winter!
Have you seen our latest samples and kits on Facebook and Instagram? Chantilly Sunshine is a fresh, fun quilt to make that is certain to have you thinking spring!
Vineyard is a beautiful new table topper or wallhanging.
And, you can make a matching gift bag for a wine bottle! These gift bags are fun and easy to make, and you can adapt the directions to whatever size you need! Here's a link to the free tutorial we used for the one on display in the shop: wine gift bag tutorial.
If you enjoy Kim Christopherson's Kimberbell patterns, you're sure to like her new Vintage Boardwalk fabric line from Maywood Studio.
In February, Art Gallery Fabrics was named 2019's "Best Fabric Brand" by the British Sewing Awards. Anyone here at the shop will tell you we are not surprised. We're big fans of Art Gallery's look and feel - especially their basics Deco Stitch line! Come in, and we'll show you what we mean!
Do you like to plan ahead? Here's a Halloween sample quilt that is now up for sale!

The March Pincushion Party Class is Monday, March 9, from 6-9 pm.
There have been requests to make "teacup" pincushions, so this month we will be learning that technique and making a pincushion in a little ramekin. You'll be able to use what you learn to make pincushions to fit a teacup of any size, or any other fun vessel that you especially like. You won't need your sewing machine this month. Just bring your scissors and everything else will be provided. AND... we will also be making decorative beaded pins, so you will leave with some fun pins to stick into the cute pinnies you've been making!! Enjoy an evening of coffee, treats, and visiting with sewing friends!
