Let’s get together, yea! yea! yea! We can have a sewing time! We have a day set aside just for sewing using your Featherweight! The third Wednesday of every month you are invited to bring your machine and join us for a day of fun and fellowship at Quilt Haven on Main. Bring your own lunch.
Show and Tell – by people who come with their finished project(s). Every show and tell item will enter your name into a drawing for a prize, compliments of Quilt Haven on Main. Limit of 5 items per person please.
Share – Quilt Haven on Main will share new fabrics, tools, notions and patterns that have come into the store. Some Saturdays will have a demonstration of a new tool.
Special In-Store Sale – On this day only, coupons will be given to those who come to Show and Share. It could be a %-off of bolt fabric, a discount on notions or patterns or whatever – you never know until you Show up and Share!
Special Presenters – a mystery personality will give a special presentation on a topic of interest to quilters. This person might be a designer, an artist, or a person with a special talent to share.
Fee: $5 at the door (just show up, no need to register)
Level: Everyone!
“A Stitch in Time Saves…” You have inherited a quilt you never knew existed but it has a few stains. You’ve got a top and don’t know if you should finish it or not. Should I just make Teddy Bears with these quilts I’ve been saving? Sue will share ideas on what to do to save the integrity of your quilt. She will present a trunk show and you may bring one antique quilt to share.
A limited number of spots are open for you to get a quilt appraised. A 20-minute appraisal is $60 and you will receive a written appraisal, a document that includes the name of the quilt, quilt maker (if known), date or circa, size, fabrics, batting, description, workmanship, condition and value. You will also receive information on caring for your quilts.
Join us in celebrating 45 years of Moda fabrics! Make an original quilt entirely out of grunge fabric by September 1 for the chance to win over $5000 in prizes! The top 3 quilts will be displayed in the Moda booth at Fall Quilt Market 2020! Quilts should be submitted to your local quilt shop (aka us!) for display and voting. Then each shop will submit their most grunge-tastic quilt to Moda for judging and the opportunity for both the quilter and their quilt shop to win a prize.
