Here at the store we get to quilt with each other all the time...it is so great to spend our days with beautiful fabrics and wonderful friends.We get to eat lunch together, we put together new quilt kits, play with new tools, test new patterns, and anything else wonderful you can think of.
So, to celebrate National Friendship Month and National Sewing Month we want to make a day dedicated to sewing with friends!
Right now, call your girlfriends and sit-n-stitch group and set Saturday the 25th or Sunday the 26th and make it an all out mini-quilt retreat. Pick one of your homes and designate that the location. Each of you bring a tasty treat - a casserole, dessert, or snack food - and get to sewing!
You can all make the same project, too. We are getting ready for Halloween so we will share some of the cute stuff. (If you need to order any supplies or fabrics for your girlfriend quilt retreat it should come in before the 25th - so any ideas we share this week can be an option for you!)
Spooks on Parade Quilt Kit
How quick and adorable is this quilt kit?! We think this will be so good for a girlfriends get together because 1. It is a quick quilt kit to cut and sew together and 2. You don't have to think too hard...when we get to talking to much here at the store we sometimes end up with a "humility block" and 3. It will be so cute at your house when you are passing out candy to the Trick or Treaters. ...or you can give it to your favorite little one for Halloween!
The quilt finishes 56"x68"
What else is fun at Halloween? When we were kids we used pillowcases as our trick or treat bags...so don't forget about our pillow case pattern. Here is the cutest Halloween Fabric that any little one would love:
Kids just love Eerie little things like Spiders and Spider Webs...
So like we said, call your friends and schedule your day! Everyday leading up to the big day we will have fun ideas - and we will throw in some yummy food recipes, too! Let us know here on the blog or on Facebook what you and your friends are planning on making - we will share pictures from the store that day, too!
Happy Friendship Month,
QBTB
