Signs of Spring & a new Class

First let's talk about Spring.  This is Baskets and Beeskeps made out of our new line Audra's Iris Garden.  The fabric should be in your local quilt shop as we speak.  The kit is  going to go out to our Mini Quilt Club members soon (they get a 15% discount so call Tori at 816-632-7632 if you want to join).  Anyway, it's just so yummy looking right now and so dreary outside that I thought I'd put it on the blog so I could look at it.  I may even take the Snow Guys down from the back hall and hang it up.  

Probably not until the middle of March though - which would give you plenty of time to get one made. It's very quick and easy.

Most of my quilts take a little time and effort but I like a simple one once in awhile.

And speaking of quilts that take a little time, this is Pine Tree Ridge.  

I really like this quilt - I like it so much that I'm going to teach a BOM class here at the farm each month up in my loft.

We'll meet on the 2nd Thursday each month from 6:00-8:00 starting February 14th.  The seating is limited and the class is mostly full already but we do have a few openings.  So if you want to join us call Tori at 816-632-7632 or email janpatekquilts@yahoo.com.  

The cost is $25.00 a month which includes the pattern and fabric for the blocks each month.  The border fabric will be a separate charge.

And ladies, I do live in the country.  If you do not like gravel roads (can be dusty and muddy), or animals or you can't climb stairs well, this isn't for you.  

But if you live close enough and you're a country girl at heart - love the peace and quiet and sense of space (although we're usually not too quiet when we meet) - well, then come join us.  We'll sew and talk and even munch a little :)

And if the class is full when you call, we'll put you on a list for next year.
