UPCOMING CLASSES
Quilt Block Challenge: In January we started a monthly quilt block challenge and due to its great success we will be continuing. Each month come in to the store and pick up your 5″ charm square and make a 12.5″ unfinished quilt block using this fabric somewhere in the block. The block needs to be handed in by the last day of the month. Over the next month all the customers in the store will have a chance to vote on the blocks. The viewer’s choice will win a $25 gift certificate, we will also have a random draw winner for a $10 gift certificate. Block must be pieced and can contain appliqué or embroidery. All quilt blocks will be donated to make charity quilts.
Block Deadline Dates: Surrey/ Chilliwack: Mon Jun 30, Thurs July 31, Sat Aug 30
