July 2022 Newsletter
Hello everyone! We hope you are enjoying this summer weather wherever you are. It has been beautiful here in Bellows Falls, VT.
We will have changed hours through the summer, beginning the week of July 25th. We will be having one evening with Open Hours for those who would like to shop after work.
New OPEN HOURS:
Monday 10am - 5pm
Tuesday 12 noon - 8pm
Weds and Thursday 3pm - 5pm
Just a reminder that we will be having an OPEN SEW on Sunday, July 24th, 9am- 2p. Arrival time is between 8:45 and 9:15 am, as our doors remain locked when everyone is upstairs. Please register online in advance to reserve your spot each session you'd like to attend due to limited seating. $10 per session, work on whatever project you like. These will continue on the 4th Sunday each month through the end of the year.
SUNDAY BEST CLUB: Pick a pattern from the Sunday Best Quilts book and join this ongoing club at any time! Due to the nonstructured nature, pre-registration is required each session to reserve your seat. One time book purchase and $10 per pre-registered session is needed. This will be the 2nd Sunday each month through the end of the year. Arrival time is between 8:30-9:00 am, as our doors remain locked when everyone is upstairs.
We have exciting news for the fall!

STARLINE: September 11th, 9am - 3pm. In class you will learn how to use the Shorthand Curved Template and create any of the various sized projects included in the pattern. You can use your newly learned skills on multiple other patterns we have available that use this same template, creating very different looks and designs. Price is $60, includes instruction, pattern and template. Please pre-register through our website prior to class. Set up time starts at 8:30 for prompt start at 9am when doors will be locked downstairs.
We have a BEGINNERS CLASS coming! It will be a series of Tuesday nights 6-8pm, starting September 27th. Participants will make a quilt, pictured below, from start to finish. They will learn two different blocks, borders, sewing a back, simple quilting, and binding. Attendance at all classes is important as each class builds on the last. Pre-register in the Classes section of our website. Arrival time is between 5:30-6:00pm, as our doors remain locked when everyone is upstairs.
