Hello Everyone,
Join us this weekend for the Hickory Quilt Show
. These ladies always put on a nice show. Not only are there great quilts to see, but they have a nice boutique, so you can get some Christmas shopping done. They do lots of charity quilts and there will be information about Quilts of Valor. The Metro Center is easily accessible from I-40.
We will be closed Oct. 19 – 24, 2022 in order to pack, attend and unpack from the Hickory show. Don’t panic – you can get stickers at the show. Bring your passports with you. Or you can get stickers at the shop. We will leave stickers and blocks outside our door for you to pick up.
After the Hickory show, there will be one more week of Shop Hop. Don’t forget – we will be cleaning out a lot of clearance stuff, so shop early for the best deals. We are pulling out all our buttons and some really nice garment fabrics. We have set up “yard sale area”.
Trims are $1.00 per yard. Fabrics – several linens, silks and woolens are $5.00 per yard.
Shop Hop Facts – We are located at 186 Page Farm Rd., Cleveland, NC. Yes, it really is on a farm.
We will be open from 10am – 4 pm, Tuesday – Saturday.
WE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAYS.
We need one day to get our errands taken care of.
Please note special hours during the Hickory quilt show.
November Class
Our November class is going to be “Boot Camp”.
Dates are November 4 or 5, 2022.
As we travel around and teach various workshops, we see a lot of you struggling with “the basics”.
This class will cover fabric prep, fabric grain line, getting an accurate 1/4″ seam, 1/2 square triangles, flying geese, mitered corners and a few other things. The class will be $55.00. This will include your handouts and all the precut fabrics for your sample construction. You will need your machine, a 1/4″ presser foot, rotary cutter, mat and basic sewing supplies.
Let’s talk a bit about your 1/4″ foot. So many of you struggle with an accurate seam allowance. A lot of you have a 1/4″ foot with a side blade. Please understand that that foot is for sewing “jelly rolls” or long strips of fabric. It is not designed for precision piecing. That side blade gets in the way when you need to pin things or sew over “dog ears”. Sometimes you need to draw a line and sew on either side of the line. A foot with a guide will not let you do that. For precision work, you need a 1/4″ foot without a guide. Most of you have small travel machines. Most of these machines are “low shank”. Ask your dealer or look on the internet for a general purpose 1/4″ foot. They should be less than $20.
If you have a Bernina, your #37 foot or your #97 foot is perfect.
Don’t let your dealer tell you, “Oh, you just need to move your needle position.” You need a foot with an accurate measurement. It will make your sewing SOOOO much easier.
To register for the class, call or text Cindy at 704-376-2531.
Classes are held at Cool Spring UMC, 1902 Mocksville Hwy., Cleveland, NC 27013.

Cindy will send a supply list when you register.
The church is easily accessible from I-40 or I-77.
Class will be from 10 am-4 pm but we have the church open by 9 am so you can get set up
and have a cup of coffee before we begin at 10 am.
As you know, eating lunch is an important part of the day.
Bring a sandwich or a casserole and we’ll provide sides, chips, desert and tea.
Be sure to bring your “show and tell” quilts. We love to see what you are working on.
