Two great things today - National Friendship and National Sewing Month Continue. Oh yeah, it is still National Literacy Month and if you have our coupon book you buy one book get one half off through the end of Saturday the 11th.
Such a busy month!
Our great idea today is to find a friend who doesn't sew or quilt and teach them! Not all of us are lucky enough to have this passion for quilting...yet...so plan an afternoon with a friend who wants to learn more about quilting and "wooo" them into our wonderful world! ...we think starting by showing them our website and our Facebook page is a great way to start. Why? Because they will be inspired by all of their options and realize how large the quilting community really is!
So, what book would be good for them as they learn to quilt?
We have several to choose from and here are four that we think will really get them started on the right track!
Why these four books? They all have easy to read directions, take you step by step, and incorporate modern techniques and tools into the process. Start Quilting Alex Anderson may be appealing because your friend may have already heard of Alex since she has a TV presence.
In any case, once you have the book you need the fabric! You can always share your stash with your friend...but we all know it is hard to part with our stash. It is there for that one project you are surely going to come across...right?!?
So, if you need to create a stash for your friend here are a few beautiful starters!
...and invite your friend to join to the fun on Facebook! They can always post a question and have not only all of us here at the shop but also nearly 800 quilters able to help and answer!
Have fun!
