GROOVY GIRLS

Terry Atkinson, ATKINSON DESIGNS, who has been running this wonderful program for a couple of years, is mov-ing on. Instead of a six month program, she will be creating new ones for different times of the year. We are sorry to see this go, but are sure whatever Terry comes up with will be a big success. As soon as we hear what she is

doing, you will be the first to know. But, we still have three more classes to share with you - February, April and June.

GROOVY BABIES - Pat S. - Do you have a co-worker that’s expecting? Or a niece, nephew, or grandbaby on the way? Delight the new mom and baby with some colorful bibs and they’ll be off to a “groovy” start. #74 - Wed., Feb. 22 - 6 to 8 OR #75 - Mon., Feb. 27 - 10 to 12 Class Fee: $10

FIESTA - Pat S. - It’s party time! Whether it’s an outdoor picnic or an indoor birthday party, you’ll need extra seating. Set the mood with these festive chair covers - adjustable to fit folding chairs or dining room chairs. Matching placemats will finish the look.

COMING IN APRIL!

GROOVY CURVES - Pat S. - This runner is a perfect fit for a table or chest of drawers that is positioned against the wall. It’s great for a buffet meal - with plenty of room to arrange serving dishes or beverages without covering up the pretty edge. A splash of color highlights the wavy or scalloped edge of this simple runner. Why not add buttons

or yo-yo’s? COMING IN JUNE!

BLOCKS OF THE MONTH

If you’re interested in applique, this is for you! Michele Hill has designed Morris Meadows, her second fabric collection for IN THE BEGINNING FABRICS, inspired by the work of William Morris. Being a quilter herself, Michele ap-proaches her design process with finished quilts in mind. Along with the absolutely gorgeous floral and border prints that bring such richness to her quilts, Michele also makes sure that her collections include the tonals which play a vital role in her floral applique blocks. So, what do you think of Arts & Crafts?

Size: 60 1/2 x 72 1/2

Quilts and the quilt store in the novel, Solomon’s Puzzle, inspired many of the book’s images and ideas. The title and the chapter titles were chosen from tra-ditional quilt patterns to represent important ideas in the chapter. The quilt takes these traditional blocks and changes them to reflect the story. Spend time with the author each month and pick up some of her piecing tricks!

Remainder of the dates are on our website under Classes, then Blocks of the Month, then Arts & Crafts.

APPLE CORE TABLE RUNNER USING ACCUQUILT - Marty - Our January class will begin a series of quilts which focus on perfecting curved piecing. In this class we will learn to make a simple apple core Table Runner using the Accuquilt cutter to cut our shapes. You may use the cutter in class if you do not have one available at home. The finished size of this project is 55" x 23", and of each apple core shape is roughly 6.25" x 5". This project consists of 40 apple cores plus a curved binding. Marty will demonstrate some additional projects in class for those who wish to pursue more complex apple core projects independ-ently. #79 - Fri., Jan. 20 - 10 to 1 Class Fee: $20

FEBRUARY PROJECT coming soon and will be posted under classes on our website #30 - Fri., Feb. 17 - 10 to 1

Thank you for your great interest in AccuQuilt. We now carry over 90 dies and are adding to them every month, and of course the cutters themselves. If we do not have what you are looking for in stock, just let us know and we will order it in.

Some of you might say, what is an AccuQuilt? Thank you for asking. It is a hand operated fabric die cutter that uses steel dies to precisely and quickly cut applique or piecing shapes. It comes in two consumer sizes:

GO! BABY - 12" W x 4.5" L x 8.25" H

GO! - 17" W x 5" L x 15" H

We are competitively priced, plus we will be holding classes throughout the year using this machine, yours or ours! JoAnn’s and other mass retailers are only able to carry about ten dies, Bear’s Paw has access to all dies. We have them listed on our website and will update it frequently.
