Scrap Quilts Go Country

 

 

Night Out on Main with Monique Dillard

April 9th 4-6:30pm

Our good friend Monique from Open Gate Quilts is back with more enthusiasm and inspiration to make us all want to bottle time and make more projects.  She has a new book that is released called Fat Quarter Winners.

 

Fat Quarter Winners

If you don't like wasting fabric or have a fat quarter collection this is for you!

• Put every inch of your favorite fat quarters to work with clever shortcuts and streamlined techniques
• Put a pair of light fabrics with a pair of dark fabrics and you're ready to go!
• Multiple quilt sizes are included for each project, from a lap quilt to a king-sized bed quilt
• Eleven patterns for less than $1.50 each!

What makes this fat-quarter book different is the emphasis on using every last bit of each piece of fabric. From block to backing to binding, nothing is wasted. Each project includes Monique's "clever shortcuts," as well as streamlined techniques for easy piecing. Each pair of blocks creates interesting secondary patterns when they're combined to reveal a more complex look. You'll get terrific results stitching up these traditional designs into cherished everyday quilts.

Don't you feel excited already?  I am and can't wait for April 9th.  Join us from 4-6:30 for her book signing, demo's with a bit of wine tasting and horederves.  In Store Specials from 4-6:30.  If you would like to pre-order her book contact the store at 641-394-6900.

 

Have a great weekend from your friends at Quilter's Window

  • I enjoyed reading your blog about Monique. I met with Monique for breakfast Saturday and made plans for my guild's fall retreat. Monique will be our teacher. I'm so excited to make a quilt from her new book. We also share the love of dogs and shared stories about our precious canine companions. Keep on quilting!
