| Holiday Greetings, Everyone! I hope that 2009 has been a wonderful year for each of you, as it was for me here at Chester County Quilting, and I’m really looking forward to 2010. The biggest change for me was the launching of my on-line store back in September. It’s still small, but growing with every opportunity I get. You will notice a change in the format for my newsletters. As of this issue, I’ll be mailing my newsletter three times a year instead of four. I noticed that overall interest in classes wanes once the weather turns warm and vacations and summer activities kick in. Going forward, my newsletters will better reflect the quilting ‘seasons.’ I’m also happy to announce that Chester County Quilting is now a drop-off point for the ConKerr Cancer program. I’ve teamed up with the Phoenixville Area Middle School to provide $5 pillow kits, and participation has been phenomenal. You’ll find more details further down in the newsletter. You'll see that, as always, we've got tons of great classes on the schedule. Along with the return of some old favorites, you'll see many new classes. Coming in January, Thimbleberries Quilt Club returns with the Village Green quilts. My Thangles Buck-A-Block program returns, too, featuring blacks and tans for 2010. We're adding the Girl Gang series from Jan Patek Designs featuring the Sunny Days quilt, and everyone interested in embroidery will love A Tisket, A Tasket, a year-long block of the month with a floral theme. A couple of new/old favorites are returning, too: Sew Crazy, where we make a quilted project that isn’t a quilt, and The Great Cover-Up, our table runner series. As a matter of fact, The Great Cover-Up has proven so popular that it will be offered twice a month to keep up with demand. Happy Quilting!

Pattern required for class: Daily Doodler, by This & That Patterns, $4.50 This year’s Thimbleberries quilt, Village Green, is being done as a block-of-the-month program, and will be available in three colorways – Dawn, Dusk, and Midnight. The completed quilt size is 72” x 82.” Patterns for other size options will be included as special bonus patterns during the year, as well. Again this year there will be no monthly meetings to attend, which means you can stop by any time during the month to pick up your kit. How convenient! Here’s how the Club works: It’s simple! Starting on the first of the month on a day that's convenient for you, stop in to pick up that month’s fabrics and pattern. The monthly cost is a very reasonable $17.50 per month, which includes the pattern plus all the fabrics you need to complete each months’ blocks. New this year: no fee at the end of the year for the finishing kit, because the cost is spread out throughout the entire year. There will also be 108” wide backing available for anyone who wants her quilt to be 100% Thimbleberries on both the front and back. As Quilt Club members from previous years know, everyone who stays with the program for the full year will have the opportunity to purchase the backing fabric for half price! There is a non-refundable $10 registration fee when you sign up. The cost of the club is $17.50 per month, payable when you pick up each of your kits throughout the year. Everyone who joins receives a Village Green charm pack! There will be other surprise bonuses throughout the year as well, so sign up today! Series 6 begins in January, and is made in gorgeous blacks and tans from Exclusively Quilters. If you're interested in joining the program, just stop in the shop any day of the month that's convenient for you, and pick up your block kit. The first month you participate, you must purchase a pack of the 2.5" Thangles, but after that, the monthly block is all you need. Details on the finishing kits will be released later this year for anyone interested in finishing their quilt to look like the shop sample. Series 4 will continue to be offered for at least another six months in the very patriotic American Primer line by Moda. Finishing kits are still available for $95. Attention all Thangles enthusiasts: Enrollment in Series 5, done in Hoffman Christmas fabrics, is being closed effective January 1st. If you haven’t finished your collection, please stop in or call at your earliest convenience and I’ll make sure you get all your blocks. Note – I am still working with Hoffman to get enough fabrics to make more finishing kits. This fabric comes and goes so fast I can’t get the fabric quickly enough. Jan Patek is an amazing designer, and her Girl Gang design for 2010 is a beauty! SUNNY DAYS measures 84" x 87" - a big change from our 2009 Appliqué Club project! The first Girl Gang meeting will be held January 21st at 6PM, and will continue to meet every third Thursday of the month. After paying a one-time $20 registration fee, the monthly cost is $20, and includes the fabrics and pattern with full-size templates to make that months’ block (or blocks), Kathy Savage's teaching expertise, and a pizza party each month, to boot! We’ll talk shop, too, with advice from Kathy, discussions of what went well for you (and what may have posed a challenge) and project show & tell. And don’t forget - fun door prizes every month! We’ll be creating Sunny Days with Moda’s Vine Creek and Windham’s Basics lines of fabric. Girl Gang also includes lots of fun extras throughout the year: yummy recipes and extra project patterns that you’ll surely want to create. Please note: most costs to host the Girl Gang are fixed. The fee for each monthly kit is $20, whether or not you attend the monthly meeting, so we urge you to come to every meeting! If you've already reserved your spot, simply come to the first meeting on January 21st. If you have not already let me know that you want to join, please do so before the first night of class so I can have a kit ready for you. Special note: due to the incredible response, please note that there's a very good possibility that the class will have to meet in another space nearby, but all Girl Gang members will be notified of the details. Stay tuned! Now, for something completely different! Many of you have seen the beautiful shop sample for A Tisket, A Tasket, and interest is running high. Led by Sally Rapp, the first class will meet on January 15th at 6:30 PM, and will continue meeting on the third Wednesday of every month through December. We’ll meet once a month for a pizza party, and you’ll receive your fabrics, floss and pattern for that month’s block. There is a one-time sign-up fee of $20. The monthly cost is $16, whether or not you come to the monthly meeting. Of course, extra copies of the pattern will be available for anyone who is unable to attend the class. CCQ has teamed up with ConKerr Cancer and the Million Pillowcase Challenge, sponsored by American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. Stop by the shop and pick up a pillowcase kit for just $5, or make one from your own favorite pattern. When you’re done, wash the pillowcase, place it in a resealable plastic bag, and drop it off here whenever it’s convenient. I will make sure that it gets to the ConKerr Cancer organization, who will then distribute the pillowcases to sick children in area hospitals. Visit my ConKerr Cancer page to learn how the program has been embraced by the kids and teachers at the Phoenixville Area Middle School, as well as free copies of four great pillowcase patterns from AP&Q. Many of you have taken advantage of the magazine and pattern freebies here in the shop. If you'd like to unload some of the unwanted periodicals, books and/or patterns that are clogging up your sewing space, please feel free to drop them off here at the shop. You'll be making space for the projects that you REALLY want to work on while giving someone else an opportunity to find something that's new to them. Jelly rolls, charm packs, and new fabric lines continue to arrive every week. The complete list of current fabric collections is posted on the Collections Page - take a look now. I've added more pictures to give you a better idea of what's already here, and what else is on the way. REGISTRATION - You may register for classes in person or by phone.

| The Great Cover-Up Chester County Quilting and Kathy Savage have begun a class series to discover whether or not it's actually possible to have too many table runners. We still don't think so. The Great Cover-Up will include table runners that are pieced, appliquéd, or both. Projects will be seasonal as well as color-themed, and you'll love having a project that can be completed in just a few hours. These classes are great for beginners! The Great Cover-Up is scheduled for second Wednesdays from 6 to 8 PM, and the second Saturday of the month from noon to 2PM. |
