Seams Like Home

As promised in our weekly e-mail, here's the information about upcoming classes that are still available to take! Also there's a move update at the bottom of this post, so scroll down! :)

Penguin Family

Sundays October 13 & 20 at 12:30-3:30pm

You will be creating an adorable penguin family using a fun mixture of fabrics. Each penguin is made the same way, so you can pick the size you want to make and then make more later on. Karen will also show how to make Kansashi Flowers using a really neat Clover notion and coordinating fabrics. These penguins use basic sewing skills and are fairly easy to construct.

Table Charm Two

Wednesdays Octo1qber 16, 23 & 30 at 6-8:30pm

You will use strip quilting techniques to create 4 placemats and 1 coordinating table runner. You can also create a variation set of 2 extra placemats with a little finesse and a few extra scraps. These are perfect for holiday gifts!

Silk Workshops

Our Silk Workshops are just around the corner! These one of a kind classes are a "Don’t Miss"!

Remember, both of these classes come with kits that include almost everything you need!

Introduction to Silk Painting

Saturday October 19 10:30-5pm

The talented Kerry Cline, of Softly Silk, will introduce you to the basics of silk dying. You will be able to create a beautiful silk pillow case, dye fabric for a quilt and complete 2 silk hankies. The holidays are coming and what better gift than something silk AND handmade!

Continuation to Silk Painting

Sunday October 20 10:30-5pm

~To be taken after Intro to Silk Painting~ You will be ready to move beyond the basics! You will learn resist dying and painting techniques while creating a beautiful silk scarf and watercolor scene on a silk hankie. The silk hankies can matted and framed just like a picture or used in a fiber art piece. Kerry will have patterns for you to trace or you may create your own artistic scenes.

Our Move!

Maret, her mother Alrene, and granddaughter Alia have been busy at work moving our fabrics into our new store. This week we've brought over most our newest fabrics from our old store. So don't worry if your favorite brand new fabric is no longer at our University Center location! They've probably been moved to their new home.

Since Maret has been working so hard to get our store ready, we're finally ready to announce when we'll open our doors at our 2375 East 63rd Ave location: December 1st, 2013! Stop by our University Center location and make sure you leave with a postcard so you can get a special gift on our grand opening weekend.

Enjoy these fun pictures of Arlene and Alia!
