What's New at CQ 7/11/23
|
Dear Friends, I have been thrilled with some of the class requests, and am busily trying to accommodate them! So far we've added a Scrappy Log Cabin Star (bonus content: flange binding and AccuQuilt cutting), a Laura Heine Halloween Collage class, and the Twister Holiday Wreath. I'm in negotiations with an improv teacher or two, but do not have any firm dates as of yet. We are repeating an Introduction to Art Quilting with Harry Fox, a Laura Heine Tomato Pincushion Class, Mini Mosaics, Jelly Roll Rug, and Metro Rings. Look ahead in the calendar or search by the class name to find them online.
Our own Elizabeth has submitted THREE entries into the #ColorMeKAFFE Fashion Challenge! Winners are chosen by popular vote, and there are still a few days left! Go to https://freespiritfabrics.com/be-inspired/colormekaffe-challenge/ to cast your vote. We voted for all of Elizabeth's entries, but we might be partial. Happy Sewing!

Having fallen in love with the Interlace pattern from Quiltin Tia, we promptly made a shop model featuring this amazing Mid Century Modern print from Michael Miller. Then, we loved the model so much that it is now kitted in three colorways! Choose from Red, Orange, or Aqua.

Revive your wool mat with this clever cleaning tool! Simply drag the cleaning blade across the surface of your wool mat to remove stray threads, lint, pet hair, and sewing debris that may have collected over time. The double-sided cleaner gives you 4-1/2 inches of cleaning surface, so your wool mats will look like new in no time.
