can be open other times by chance or appointment.

What's New in September

National Shop Hop begins September 1!
We have 40 passports ready and waiting for you. Email if you want to reserve one. Collect points by visiting participating shops and add more by purchasing fabrics by Thimbleberries, or the supplier Trend-tex (Moda, Hoffman, Michael Miller). The fabrics have arrived and the ’Greetings From Canada’ kits are ready. Let the fun begin!

Oxford Guild Show: September 25 to 27 We’ll be vending so see you there.

September Classes with Brenda:
‘On a Roll’- Thursday mornings 9 am to noon $50+ GST Sept. 4, 11, 18 and Oct 2
Use half a jelly roll to create one of 2 lap quilts from this pattern. Or cut strips from your stash to create a stash buster! Great for beginners.
‘Crossroads Table Set’ Saturday mornings 9 am to noon $40+ GST Sept. 6, 13, 20
Learn bias binding techniques while making quick placemats and a tablerunner. Another great stash buster for the fabric collector! Suitable for beginners too.
‘Out & About’ Bag - Saturday afternoons 1 to 4 pm $40+ GST September 6, 13, 20
A great new bag! Use a package of charm squares or a collection from your grab bag. Try a different thread and machine stitches you’ve always wanted to use but needed the right place to play.

September Class with Karen:
Pineapple Foundation Piecing - Tuesday Sept 16 9:30 am to 12:30pm $25 plus GST
Learn techniques for foundation piecing on fabric. The techniques are similar to paper piecing if you have always wanted to that technique.

September Classes with Shirley:
Bistro Bag Friday September 12 9 am to 4 pm $30+ GST
Make this great shoulder bag in a day. The zippered inner section keeps your valuables secure.
‘Postcards From the Past’ by The Rabbit Factory Tuesdays from 9 am to noon $50+ GST Sept 23, 30, Oct 7 and 21 Learn applique by making this wallhanging. We will try several methods of applique including hand and machine.

What’s New:
There are lots of new things- fabrics, books, patterns and thread! Mettler Thread! We have the whole range of 50wt sewing thread in silk wrapped cotton in the 150m and 500m spools.

Hoffman Bali Pops in 6 delicious colour combos. The pop contains 40 strips by 2½” wide. Now you can try one of the strippy patterns in batiks. How about using one in Brenda’s ’On a Roll’ class?

‘American Primer’ jelly rolls by Moda: The bolts of the same collection are coming later this fall. The blues are my favourites and the designs have school related names so how could I resist?

‘Come Sit in My Garden’ by Robin Betterley: Go to www.southseaimports.com and click on New Projects. Browse the New Projects and choose ‘Come Sit In My Garden’. We have kits for the pattern but substituted the piano key fabrics. Instead of brown, beige and green we used the viney print with pink, beige and green background. It makes a much prettier quilt, I think.

There is so much more that has come in last month that you really need to treat yourself to a day in the country to see it all. We look forward to your visit!
