Black Friday

Since it is Friday (and not Thanksgiving evening when you need to be sitting around with family and friends digesting dinner - or maybe having another piece of pie), we're having a 

Black Friday Sale.

15% off of all my favorite notions.  

(Everything except the Dovo scissors.  It just costs too much to ship them here from Germany :). 

15% off of


my favorite Clover Thimble - 


the glue I use all of the time


the quilt labels I use on the back of my quilts, 


the linen thread I quilt and do a lot of my embroidery with,


and my favorite sandpaper board …….

and my marking pencils, and …….and……and.  

You can see them all by clicking here.



Plus you get a free pattern (excluding the BOMs) with every order over $25.00.  Just write the name of the pattern in the comments section when you pay with PayPal at the store.  If you can't find the comments section just email Tori at janpatekquilts@yahoo.com and tell her.

And there's FREE SHIPPING ALL DAY!.

So just type in Promo Codes BLACK FRIDAY and NOTIONS.

Let the sale begin - ends Friday night at midnight.

Happy Thanksgiving

From our House to Yours.


This is Pumpkins, Turkeys and Geese made by Janet Crenshaw
 from the KC Star book We Gather Together.
Thanks Janet, you did an awesome job - I always love seeing what other people do with my ideas.

 I hope all of you have a Thanksgiving full of 
Family, Food and Friends.

We are having a little Black Friday sale but we'll talk about it tomorrow.  Today is for Family & Friends - which to me always includes quilts.
Now, off the computer and onto making pies,  cake and cranberry sauce.  Pep does the turkey and dressing, thank God.
God Bless.

New Tutorial - Berries, Stems and Inside curves

Jake and Misty Doan - (talented filming and editing people)
 uploaded my latest tutorial at the end of the week.


This time we're focusing on the Snowman Basket block from my Snow Day BOM.
To see the tutorial click Here.


And I've decided that each month when the tutorial is uploaded I'll have a "special" on the pattern and kit for 2-3 days only.  Oh and in case you're on my email list and already know about this, the sale is through Sunday, not "to" Sunday.


So be watching my blog or Facebook (or I guess subscribe to my You Tube channel) because the sale will be really short since the patterns are new.
To get to the store, click here.

And I thought we were going to have a Snow Day yesterday - or really and "Ice Day" but luckily we didn't.  I'm not quite ready for them yet.
We need to have Thanksgiving first.
But it is great weather to stay inside and make a quilt  :)

That will also take you to the same place where you can buy our latest


Donder and Blitzen kit.  Tis the season, ladies.  It's coming on quickly but there's still time to make a few wallhangings and small quilts before it gets here.

We're still recovering from the trip (it takes a little longer each year)


but got to chuckle a little at Josh Dunn's video.  To see it click here.
Thanks Josh - what fun!
