Look what we've been doing! Well, actually, Linda and Marilyn have been working on these wonderful quilts. Linda used English Paper Piecing for the cute mini Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt at left. It looks different from the usual because it uses Civil War reproduction fabrics.
The Double Hourglass quilt also uses reproductions, and is a little less scrappy looking because of the uniform setting blocks and borders. Linda pieced it as well, and Marilyn quilted both quilts--yes, even the mini!
Both quilts are from the new book by Kathy Tracy, Civil War Sewing Circle.
For First Saturday 2011, we are once again using a fabulous Lori Smith pattern. The directions are great, and include construction pictures and pressing arrows. You can make either the Batik or Reproduction colorway, and choose the appliqued or pieced center with your finishing kit for either colorway. We'll be constructing a little of the Batik quilt each month, but our Reproduction quilt is almost done. 
Toni and Darlene are ready to cut your fabric at the front cutting table, while Neppie and Kim are at the back table, near the clearance section. Customer service is what we do best!
Liz has pulled a lot of the First Saturday and Block of the Month holds, and is ready to run her register. 
We made it! We survived a week of snow and ice and got to the shop on First Saturday, amid more snowfall. Here are Marilyn and Charlotte, ready to help you at the register.
