Sew What? Challenge…

The Sew What Challenge deadline is August 1st.  The whole idea here is that you all make some sort of project reflecting on how Sew What, or quilting in general, has touched your lives.  I have heard from lots of people saying they have great ideas and everyone is getting excited.  You can do ANYTHING YOU”D LIKE as long as it is no bigger than 50×50” and no smaller than 20X20”.   The two supplied fat quarters must show on the front of the project somewhere, as showy or subtle as you choose.  Come On, it will be FUN!!!  Besides, the prize is not too shabby; being $100.00 gift certificate and 20 fat quarters of your choice.  Four additional prizes of 20 fat quarters will also be awarded.    Please participate, the more finished wall hangings we can have on display the more fun it will be.  The fat quarters and rules are merely $3.00, available at the front counter.

Sew What’s Quilters Gallery

In June, Camille Klein’s quilts are showcased in the Quilter’s Gallery. Camille began over thirty years ago when she came home from a trip to Appalachia. Her very first quilt was a Farmer Boy appliqué with raw edge blanket stitch.  Camille took her first quilting class at the Town of Tonawanda Adult Education program with Linda Hunter making a sampler. She was hooked! Her passion is hand piecing and hand quilting. When she isn’t working full time or quilting, she enjoys gardening, biking, skiing and reading.
When you display your quilts in our gallery it gives everyone who comes into the store, and the entire quilting community an opportunity to view your talent and see the vast array of local quilting styles, colors and techniques. While quilts are on display, photos will be taken and a CD created so you can maintain a record of your exhibition.  During the month you display your quilts, you will receive a 20% discount in the store. We welcome all levels to participate in this exciting opportunity! Call the store to sign up for an upcoming month. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sew What? Survey –  Ten Reasons To Buy Fabric:

  1. It insulates the cupboard where fabric is kept.
  2. It keeps the economy moving. It is my duty to support cotton farmers, textile mills and quilt shops, particularly my local one!
  3. It is less expensive and more fun than psychiatric care.
  4. It keeps without refrigeration, you do not have to cook it to enjoy it, and you never have to feed it, change it, wipe its nose or walk it.
  5. I’m participating in a contest – the one who dies with the most fabric wins.
  6. Because I’m worth it!
  7. Like dust, it’s good for protecting empty spaces in the house, like the ironing board, the laundry basket, the dining room table…..
  8. It’s not immoral, illegal or fattening; it calms the nerves, gratifies the soul and makes me feel oh so good.
  9. Because it was on sale!!!!!
  10. Buy it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions.
