March

Our first series of workshops with Susan Balch ended last Saturday. The Intuitive Quilting group surpassed all expectations in their creativity and style. Most of the projects are now ready for quilting and embellishing. This is Linda O.'s work of art...


Wonderful color combination!

Here is Debra's improv...

Deb has been saving this Geisha fabric for just the right project...I think this is it. She plans on beading and lots of hand embellishment.


































Sara still has a ways to go, but so far the results are fascinating...


The group interaction was amazing and they formed some lasting bonds as they shared ideas and opinions throughout the classes. Of course, Susan was present to lend her expert guidance and knowledge of design and color.

Our next series of workshops with Susan will start on Saturday, April, 13th and will run for 4 Saturdays ending on May 4th. This will be the Naturescape series. Here is a project from our winter session...

This is Truddi G's work of art! Wow. Hope you can make the next series in April. Check your schedule and call ASAP as we can only take 6 students.

New fabric is arriving daily and we are gearing up for the Vermont Shop Hop which starts on Friday, March 15th and runs thru Sunday March 25th. We will be open from 9-6 every day including that Monday! On the last day, Sunday, we will close at 3 PM. Have you bought your passport yet?

Here is one of our latest quilt samples, made up to feature a pattern by Sweet Jane called Bella Notte. We used the Juggling Summer line from Zen Chic and Brigitte Heitland for Moda and Kona cotton in Lavendar for the background. Pieced by Judith and quilted by Andrew...

We love "wonky stars"!

Cool colors, huh?




















I made this sample using the Off The Rail pattern by Julie Herman for JayBird Quilts. This is a charm square quilt in a log cabin style. The Kaffe Fassett Charm Square Bundle in Classic Blue was my inspiration for the other fabrics in this project.


Using a pre cut bundle takes the mystery out of figuring out what colors work with what! I love the Spot in "Duck Egg"!

Just in...Kaffe Fassett's latest book "Shots And Stripes"...

This might be my favorite Kaffe book yet! Inside you will find gorgeous quilts and patterns using only his shot cottons and striped fabrics. It just so happens we have just about all of the stripes and will have, when they are available, most of the shot cottons used in the book! If you are doing the Shop Hop, and are a passport holder, you will get 30% off any book in the store by using the Waterwheel House coupon in the passport!

Our 2nd "Swoon" block for our BOM is in the mail. Here is a pic...








































This is "Spot" in periwinkle and "Millefiore" in green.

And a parting shot...Jude's quilt for her son after a photo shoot in the snow...

This quilt pattern came from the book "Modern Minimal" by Alissa Haight Carlton. It is a really chic quilt!

Ooooh...and just this second we received this line from Dear Stella called "Kyani"
































"Surround yourself with beautiful blues!"

We will be kitting this quilt designed by Missy Shepler for "Dear Stella" fabrics...































A single fabric for the center panel, then a series of borders will make this 76.5"x 87" bed size quilt a snap to make. Need a quilt in a hurry?

Oh and before I forget. Did you know we now have a live shopping cart on our website? Yes, you can order and pay on line now. We are working on expanding our offerings. Check it out here.

And we are now affiliated with "Craftsy" a place on line where you can take classes in a variety of crafts including quilting! Check out their offerings by clicking on the "Learn More" arrow at the top of this post on the right sidebar!

Until next time...

Happy Sewing,

Shelley
