COME VISIT WAKARUSA'S "ANTIQUE TILE" QUILT GARDEN, PART OF THE QUILT GARDEN TOUR SPONSORED BY AMISH COUNTY NORTHERN INDIANA

• 60,000 blooms packed into 12 gardens (including ones in Middlebury, Shipshewana, Bristol, Goshen, Elkhart, and Nappanee)
• 11 super-sized murals
• 23 total designs, all bursting with color, each with its own special story
• A color patchwork, "sewn" across seven welcoming communities, inspired by quilt designs, powered by imagination
• Nothing else like it in the entire country

I was asked to plan, piece, and embroider the quilt that is the model for the mural that has been painted on the east side of the Key Bank building by Jeff Stillson from Nappanee. This "Dancing Leaves" quilt (pictured below) has now been quilted by Nancy Peterson and can be seen in our store. The quilt will be awarded to the winner of a drawing to be held late in September. Tickets for the drawing may be purchased for $5.00 each, and we have them available. Proceeds from the ticket sales will be used to support the Wakarusa Quilt Garden Project.

The gardens are scheduled to be viewable throughout the summer and until the first frost. More information can be found at the following web site:

We invite you to shop on line at the Sewing and Craft Club. There you can choose Jeanette's Fabric Boutique as your sponsoring dealer and purchase Koala cabinets, Klaase needles, Hemline notions and machine luggage, plus Anita Gooddesign embroidery designs.

This link will take you to the Sewing & Craft Club site.

The Voyager 17 long arm quilting machine gives you a big bed space of 5" by 17". Come in and try it out. It's set up on a Hinterberg Stretch quilt frame. (An optional stitch regulator is available.)

We have both the regular and the stretch frames on display. These frames feature sturdy, rigid construction; are easy to assemble; and allow the sewing machine to glide effortlessly in all directions, thus turning your machine into a machine quilting system and allowing you to create beautiful quilts.

The quilt Caddy features hardwood construction, full-extension, ball-bearing drawer glides, and locking casters. The drawers and storage bins make accessing your supplies quick and easy. Various models are available.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR Special CLUBS

• 50 Yard Club—Many of you  are working hard to fill up your cards while others are working on their second and third  cards and have already gotten $25.00 gift certificates.  Be sure to ask about the 50 Yard Club the next time you purchase fabric.

• Finish It Up Club—Our winner is Phyllis Reiner (pictured below), Phyllis's winning entry was one of her Table Toppers of the Month.   Each month we post pictures of all of the entries in our front window.  Check them out when you visit and bring your completed project (or projects) made with fabric purchased from us.  We’ll include your picture the next time—and maybe even let you know that you’re a winner.

 

• Birthday Club—Don’t forget to present your drivers’ license during your birthday month and you’ll receive a discount on one purchase equal to 1/2 your age.  For some of us, that’s getting to be a significant percentage!

• Join the Cut-Ups! —You can use our new AccuCut cutting system to cut strips, squares, rectangles, and appliqué shapes for your projects.  This takes the drudgery out of cutting and gives you accurate cuts in a fraction of the time.  For a fee of $5.00 per month (or pre-pay for a year and save $10.00), we’ll teach you to use the AccuCut.  Then all you have to do is call and make a reservation.  Use it as many times as you like during the month to cut fabric purchased in our shop (there will be an extra charge to cut fabric purchased elsewhere).
