Spring Break and Summer Solstice. Get all of our Quilt Retreat details here.
We will have the Muchas Pooches quilt on loan from the designer and here in the shop very soon. It's due to arrive any day now. If you love dogs and puppies you will love this quilt. We have it available as a Block of the Month program or you can buy the Muchas Pooches full kit! |

Demo Days at QBTB |
Join us this Saturday, January 23rd at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm for our first Demo Day. Miss Kathy will be demonstrating tips and techniques for working with Cuddle fabric, including how she made the super cute quilt as you go cuddle quilts. Kathy will also show us applique techniques using YLI Wash-A-Way thread, which is easy to do and the results will give you a smooth edge to either machine stitch or hand applique. I just asked Kathy and she said she will do both demos at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. So, really its going to be a double demo day! |
