Class: Stack, Slash and Sew

Yesterday we held our Stack, Slash and Sew Class. This has always been a very popular class and it is not only easy but most of the students have a nearly completed quilt top by the end of the class. We have not previously released a pattern for this quilt however we will be in the next couple of months.

Below is the sample quilt for this class and photos from the class and some of the nearly finished quilts

 

Happy Customer

I received an email from on of our customers Peggy from America today and thought I would share this with you and the photo she sent.
"Back in February, I ordered some fabric from you -- kangaroos and koalas -- to make a baby quilt for a friend here in the U.S. (she's from Australia, married to an American and this is her first baby) Well, the fabric arrived and the quilt got made and we had a baby shower for her today. I thought you'd like to see what I did with the fabric that you sent. Thank you so much for getting the fabric to me so quickly -- the mom-to-be loved the quilt and was totally shocked that I'd ordered it from Australia for her. I think she was pleased to have a little something from "home"!"
