Happy New Year

Can you believe it is almost 2010!!!!  We here at the Patch have been quite busy getting things ready for the new year.  We all seem to have had a wonderful holiday and valued our time with family and friends.  It is something I noted during the holidays that overall everyone was kinder and more helpful than I remember pass holidays.  I saw loads of random acts of kindness and generally a feeling we are in this together so let’s make the best of it.  We hope your holidays were special as well.  We have an exciting new class for January.  Nancy Smith who has a beautiful new Bargello pattern is coming to the store, or rather I should say our Classroom Annex.

Just as an aside, if you haven’t noticed.  We have rented the store next door as our classroom annex.  It is spacious and roomy for classes and so far it is a thumbs up from our students.  We are having her here on Saturday, January 9th from 11am to 4 pm and again on Saturday, February 13th from 11am to 4pm to finish the class.  They are “WOW” quilts.  Here are some pictures.100_4831-1

This one is called “Northern Lights” and requires 17 fabrics.  We are getting quite good at picking fabrics for this one.  You can chose to do this one or you can do this next beauty in your class.

This one is called “Diamond Jubilee” and needs 11 fabrics.  This is not a beginner quilt.  But, boy when you are done…..look at what you have.  Here are a few more pictures, we thought you might enjoy.  100_5399
