Happy April!!
|
Well quilters...we survived March! How crazy is life right now? Thank God we can all sew and take part in a little bit of our own therapy, whether it is sewing masks,
participating in a sew along online, or completing UFOs...
sewing will get us through, I promise!
Speaking of masks...Our very own Michelle Rorher
has been working with the Newport Hospital to come up with
a clear concise pattern for making masks for the community.
Thanks, Michelle for such clear easy to follow directions. I still have one bolt remaining of the polypropelene material that the fire stations purchased. Stop by the shop to pick up a kit to make about 20 masks...keep a couple for yourself and your family, then turn the rest back into the shop. We have donated 290 so far to to the Newport Hospital, the Spokane fire stations, and the West Pend Oreille fire department. The hospital prefers the pattern that will cover the N95 masks with ties. That free pattern can be found at https://eunoiapatterns.com/product-category/freebies/. Look for the Free download for the ‘better together’ mask. These will be re-used and washed to prolong the life of the medical masks.
If you know of a need in our community, please let me know
and we will do our best to get them some masks.
Pretty soon it will become a law that every citizen
must wear a mask in public!
The April AURIFIL COLOR BUILDERS CLUB will be arriving on April 13. This month is a gorgeous trio of browns and tans. Everyone needs those colors in their arsenal!
<<>><< NEW BLOCK OF THE MONTH >><<
"A Gathering"...by Barbara Persing
This is the most adorable quail quilt you have ever seen!
You have two ways to participate in this program, purchase the pattern for $30, or purchase the kit. The kit is $280 for the laser-cut pre-fused applique pieces. Just iron on the batik pieces to your background! The good thing is that you don't have to pay all at once for the kit...
it's a $50 sign up fee now through April 30. Then it's just $33 per month
that will start in MAY and run through November.
Each month you will receive the pre-fused, laser cut applique shapes in gorgeous Island batik fabrics that are original designs from Barbara herself! Check out the shop sample in the tea room!

Kids Fish Kits are now available!!
Running out of things to do with the kids while they are at home...How about a fusible fish applique project?
The kit includes the pattern, all the fusible batik fabric, and
fat quarter for the background.
Your choice of newsprint, dark blue or medium blue.
This fish was made by Kenny, my 12 year old! It will make a cute bench pillow for my window seat or maybe a father's day gift!
Just $20...first 15 kits are ready to go!

April is month four of the murder mystery quilt!
Become a member of the Murder and Mayhem Murder Mystery Quilts community!
Every chapter of the original murder mystery and each block of the quilt holds clues to the identity of the murderer. At the end of the BOM, you’ll make new friends, read an original murder mystery and make a gorgeous quilt!
Check out the block samples in the classroom for the first three blocks.
<<>>Due to the pandemic...
