October, 2021 at The Country Quilter

It is good to have people once again coming to the classroom. Class size is limited, participants must be double vaccinated, and wear a mask.

The shop will be closed on Saturday, October 9 for the Thanksgiving weekend. Hopefully, we will be able to enjoy getting together with family this year.

The shop continues with the same hours during October. Open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday from 10:00 to 1:00 pm. The shop will also be open on other days when there are classes.  (Knotty Girls and Landscape this month.)

Reminder: the shop is closed Sat Sept 4 for the holiday weekend! Enjoy!

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since we had any news to send out!

 We have seen many projects that you finished during your time at home with only your stash for company. It is great to know that some 20 year+ projects are seeing the light of day again. Maybe it is time to consider some new ones! Lots of new batiks have been ordered and more Christmas fabrics are expected this week. A festive new table runner, tree skirt or pillows will help to cheer us up!
