Sew Inspired "Snips & Pieces"

Mezzanine is Patty Young's new collection for Michael Miller Fabrics

... and was inspired by the fabulous stonework, ironwork, terraces, gardens and tapestries she photographed during her travels throughout Northern Europe. You can see the French, Belgian and Dutch influence of cathedrals, theaters, museums and castles in Patty's designs.

Check out the little dress we made from Patty's line of patterns, Modkids Boutique. Too cute!

Our new club for mid- and long-arm quilters is a hit! But don't just take our word for it. Here's what a few of our attendees had to say:

"The club offered many tips, inspirations and positive encouragement.  It was an enjoyable experience." - Gayle S

"I truly enjoyed meeting with the other quilters and learning of the things they do. As always, you are most helpful and informative and give us so many hints and ideas.  Next month's program sounds just great." - Dot G

"Enthusiastic problem-solving and information-sharing filled our class. I learned a lot that I'll put into practice immediately!" - Barbara S

"I really enjoyed the club - especially looking at how you and others have quilted their quilts and the tools you use to create some of the custom quilting.  It just gets me "itchy" to have one at my house to play on whenever the urge hits, meanwhile, planning my quilts and drawing in my "quilting" book will have to suffice until I have more time to spend on this "sport." - Vickie C

Join the fun. Next meeting on Sept. 19th. No membership or machine required!
