Petal Pinwheels Fabric Challenge

Are you ready for another CHALLENGE?!  I just emailed out a sign up for our next Fabric Challenge with the MQG.  You must be a paying member to join in the challenge fun. 



Since we have to be signed up before our next meeting we have not yet setup our criteria.  But if you want to participate and receive your free fabric for the challenge please sign up by Feb. 26.  At our March 1st meeting we will "pin" down our details!

ALSO, if you haven't paid your dues there is still time!  We just added a payment button to our membership page if you'd like to pay with credit card.  Hope you will join us!

Low Volume Fabrics

In February, we will be playing our beloved LRC dice game (Left Right Center).  Each person that would like to participate brings 3 FQs of the decided themed fabric.  You will roll three dice labeled with LRC and move your FQs accordingly.  Whichever player doesn't throw all of their fabric into the center WINS all of the center fabrics---that everyone brought!  It is one of our favorite games. 

The theme for our Feb 1 meeting is low volume!

 

 

 

These are some examples of low volume prints to help guide you.  And here is another link to help with ideas!

 

Year End Fabric Sales

If you are like me, it was a hard couple of weeks getting through the stress of the holidays and not rewarding yourself with any FABRIC!  But if you made it to the last few days of 2013 there are a couple end of year clearance sales going on.

Our Local Quilt Shops:
Gina's Bernina is having a 40% off sale on 1 yard cuts, and 25% off everything else!

Mammaw's Thimble always has great prices so it makes it easy to shop there! 

Joann's is stepping up their game with some gorgeous modern fabrics!  I'm in love with Juliana Horner's lines they are carrying currently.  Make sure you get their coupons in the mail and on your smart phone.  It makes you feel so much better about buying yardage 40% off!

Pink Castle Fabrics is having a big CLEARANCE! 

Stash Fabrics on Etsy is having 10% off everything.

Fat Quarter Shop has some great things on sale too.  Pearl Bracelets or Mirror Ball Dots

And I'm sure there are many others going on so I hope you all treat yourself to some beautiful new fabrics.
