ps. If you are participating in Stacey Lee's Comfort Cases Quilt Drive, we are now collecting quilts! Refer to Stacey's FAQs for details.

Products

From Anthology, we have four patriotic batiks.

A few more patriotic bolts, this time from Northcott's Stars and Stripes 14 Collection.

I've brought in some Shimmer Charm packs from Northcott as well. All fabrics are accented with metallic ink. 

Make It Scrappy With 3-Yard Quilts Booklet includes eight delightful scrap-friendly quilt patterns that utilize three yards of fabric each. Instructions for adapting to a twin, queen, or king bed are included.

Classes

There are TWO seats available in the Wednesday Quilts for Kids workshop.

Join Linda and our Quilt of Valor group on May 11th to make a quilt for a veteran touched by war. These quilts are tremendously important to the men and women who serve our country in the military. All fabric is provided. Just register for the workshop, bring your sewing machine, basic sewing supplies, and lots of energy!

Do you know someone who is graduating, and you want to make them a T-Shirt quilt? We have the class for you! Debra Ball will show you how to make the most of your T-Shirts in class starting May 14th.

The bucket hat is back on May 27th! Linda will take you through making a reversible bucket hat. In class you will have the option to cut on your own or use the Accuquilt die. 

Debra has done another stunning quilt using the Quick Curve Ruler-- Chic Country.  Join her on July 8th & 22nd to make your own version and learn all the tips and tricks to make yours turn out as beautiful as hers.

Joan from Bucklebee Tools is coming back this fall to teach her "Happy Feet" sneaker class! Two classes are available: Friday, September 25 or Saturday, September 26. Spend the day making a pair of real sneakers, with quilted uppers and rubber soles. If you’ve been saving a bit of favorite fabric for a special project, Happy Feet sneakers are absolutely special. Your class fee covers your seat in class, instruction, soles, insoles, eyelets, instruction book, and cardstock pattern. Shoelaces will be available to purchase from the instructor.

Joan is once again offering a Sneakers Studio Session on Sunday, September 27. This session will not have any formal instruction, and is intended for those who have already made sneakers, and are looking for time and/or tools to make/finish more.

Don't forget that we offer Sandwiching Services (quilt basting) every month. Typically, four "appointments" are available each month.

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
