What is coming up?
Now that the holidays are behind us it is time to look forward to some sewing things! Tomorrow is Serger Club at Frank's Sewing Center. I am demonstrating how to put a lapped zipper in with a serger. I also have a "serger apron" pattern for you. This sits under your serger to catch thread scraps and has pockets and a pincushion. The Club meets at 1 or at 6 the cost is $5. Next week is Block of the Month and we are going to tackle the center block.
There is still room in most of the WCTC classes. Here is where you can see the classes and pictures of the class sample.

Chris Kirsch and I are teaching at the Quilters Land Cruise in Racine, the first weekend in March. It is a fun weekend. I hope to see some of my students there! Here is the link to their information page. http://quilterslandcruise.com/
My Open Lab in Brookfield will start again on Monday the 10th of January. Anyone is welcome to come and sew with us. Email me if you are interested
Hope to see you soon

New Block of the Month Ready to start!
This week on Tuesday at 1PM and Friday at 6PM we will be having the introductory meeting of BOM at Frank's Sewing Center in Waukesha. Anyone can attend. There is no cost for the meeting. You will have an opportunity to find out the details on the next BOM program. If you are not able to attend here is the information:
Block of the Month Program
Frank’s Sewing Center
2010-2011
The new Block of the Month Program will begin at Frank’s Sewing Center in October 2010. The group meets at the store on the second Tuesday at 1PM or the second Friday at 6PM. Each month you will get a block or section of the quilt to make. The program will run through Nov of 2011. There will be no meeting in July and August of 2011 and the last meeting is a celebration meeting. At the meeting you receive instructions on how to make the block, there is show and tell from the members and Wendy will talk about what is new in the store. There are often discounts that are available in the store just to Block of the Month members on the day of the meeting. Wendy occasionally has other surprises like a little pattern or she organizes an exchange of fabric within the group. This is a picture of the Quilt as done in the pattern and in the color way the Wendy has chosen (Pictured here in its unfinished state!).
The pattern is from Wing and a Prayer Design. This is a queen size quilt, 96” by 106”. There is additional information on the website, http://wingandaprayerdesign.com/images/king-size-BOM.pdf to make it a king size quilt. The cost of the pattern is $24 and includes an 8” by 10” color picture of the quilt. The pattern is available at Frank’s Sewing Center. You must purchase the pattern to be a part of the program. You may choose to buy the pattern and use your own fabric and the cost of that is $45. If you want to use the fabrics Wendy has chosen the cost will be $180. There will be an additional cost if you make it king size and if you want to purchase the outer border fabric for either size quilt. You may also pay by the month at $15 a month. Sign up and payment is done with Wendy directly. Wrieves@aol.com

I am 90% sure this is the quilt we are going to use for the next BOM pattern: http://store.quiltingbythebay.com/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=9278524184779278&Store_id=774&page_id=23&Item_ID=2767

I can't wait to get started so I can show off the finished top! Stay tuned for more details. Sign up will begin soon.
Wendy
You will have your choice of using the pattern and supplying your own fabrics or purchasing mine. Natually I plan to make the pattern my own to share with you. I will do the construction a little different, change a couple blocks and do different squares in the corners. The pattern will be for sale at Frank's. Cost of the program to follow!
