The last time I got in this first National Parks panel, it sold out in days. So, I've reordered it AND another with different "posters" on it.

Attention, Featherweight owners!

Transform your Singer Featherweight 221 & 222 into a versatile quilting companion with a thoughtfully designed Thread Stand & Guide! Finally, you can use any thread you love—from standard spools to large cones—while preserving the classic charm of your machine. This Thread Stand, proudly manufactured in the USA from premium stainless steel and aluminum, integrates seamlessly with your machine's original design. Simply slip the base into the oil hole on the top left side of your machine's harp, and you're ready to begin your next project!

And, have you ever wished that you could take advantage of pre-wound bobbins? Now you can! Available in Parchment White and Pearl Grey.

The A Parallel Universe Quilt by The Sweet Tea Girls Patterns creates depth and dimension using [2] matching panels plus coordinating fabrics. The quilt is made using simple piecing techniques, including strip piecing and easy to make parallelograms. It's perfect for either a wall hanging or a throw for your favorite friend.

From Timeless Treasures, we have this colorful musical print.

I've started getting in some Oasis solids; here are the first of them.

Classes

The Holiday Tree Skirt class I spoke about last week is scheduled for the 22nd of November. You can use either our pre-cut kits, or choose your own fabric and cut it on our Accuquilt machine in class!

November's Get it Done! is also on the 22nd.  Gather up all your unfinished sewing and bring it to Capital Quilts.  Enjoy time you can dedicate to getting those projects DONE!  Kat will be here to offer suggestions, guidance, and support.

Please note that we will be CLOSED on Thursday, November 27th in observance of Thanksgiving, and will close at 3PM on the 26th.

CQ Cares (Community Sewing)

We have free pillowcase kits available! We donate all pillowcases to Ryan's Case for Smiles, who in turn distributes them to children battling serious illness. Pick one up next time you're in the shop, then complete it and return on your schedule. Alternately, use your stash and any of the Million Pillowcase Project patterns.

We have placemat kits available at the shop; please stop by to pick up one (or two). For those who want to sew from their stash, click on the picture for the beginner-friendly Charm Square Placemats pattern, or you can use your own pattern.

Please return all completed placemats to Capital Quilts.
Thank you for your continued support of the Capital Quilts Cares program. 

We have free small kennel quilts kits available. These little quilts are sent to shelters who take in pets displaced by natural disasters. To quilters, they are a great beginner project, a use for leftover fabric, and a place to practice free motion skills. To use your stash, visit www.kennelquilts.com
