Calendar Block Sew Along

It's not too late to join us for our Calendar Block Sew Along!  We are using the newest Art to Heart book, Imagine, by Nancy Halvorsen.  We meet once a month on the third Wednesday from 2:00-4:00pm to sew the next month's block.  The cost is $5.00 to join us each month for the sew along and $5.00 for each month's kit.  Bring your own machine, or use one of ours.

Use your finished blocks to create this darling quilt, or pillows, or a table topper.

February classes

We introduced some new classes in January.  Those who have joined us have had a TON of fun, BUT it's not too late.  We are offering new things to make each and every month.  

On February 3 at 1-3 or 5:30-7:30, join us for our second Babylock Serger Feet class.  If you own an Imagine, Enlighten, Evolution or Ovation, come and learn how to use the different presser feet.  We are holding this class on the 1st Tuesday of each month.  We will make a different project each month while working with a variety of presser feet.  Don't worry if you don't have the foot already; we will have some for you to borrow.  On March 3rd, the class will be offered for the Evolution and Ovation machine only.  (We will invite the Imagine and Enlighten owners to join us again in May.)

Call the store to check it out.  The class is $10 which just covers the cost of the project.  This is the cute bag they made in January.

Our next Embroidery In-The-Hoop class will be on February 25th at 5:30 pm.  You don't even have to own an embroidery machine to participate in this class.  You can use one of ours.  A great way to try something new, learn a new technique or simply come and make a cute project.  Cost is $10 plus price of kit (will vary from $5-$15 depending on project).  Did you see the scissor holders they made in January?  Keep an eye peeled for a preview of February's project.

In our Knit and Crochet class, you can learn that pattern that has been sitting there waiting for a chance to be made.  The teacher can help you learn any stitch and give you the confidence to create something beautiful.  Classes are held monthly on the 4th Tuesday at 5:30 pm.  Fee is just $10.

UFO & Sew - Bring a project and come sew with us.  On the 4th Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, our classroom is available.  You can work on "secret projects" or just come and have fun with a roomful of fellow sewers.  Cost is just $5.  Room is limited so call a book a spot now.

Learned to sew in Junior High but haven't touched a machine since?  Know how to sew but have questions like how to put in a zipper?  Attend our Adult Sewing class for help.  We even have machines you can use.  Check the calendar for class dates and times.

Make sure to mark your calendar NOW for our Embroidery Club. We meet on the 3rd Saturday at 10.  We show different ideas, projects and techniques.  Fun prizes are given away at each meeting.  Bring a show & tell item.  Who else can really appreciate your hard work like us?  No sign up is necessary.  Just come and have fun!

Our first Embroidery Retreat for 2015 will be on March 21st.  Sign up quickly because the space is limited.  Cost is just $100 which includes lunch, snacks and project supplies.

March classes @ Murray

We have lots of fun classes to choose from this month.  Description and details are listed below.  If you have ANY questions, please call us at 801-266-6942.  (Call the store for machine class dates and times.)

BLOCK PARTY -- We have been having a BLAST with our new Block of the Month this year.  This is a photo of the block we made for February.  Participants - do you have yours done?  Next classes will be held March 1 - 10 am or 10:30 am; March 2 - 9:30 am, 10 am or 10:30 am.  Haven't joined yet?  It's not too late.  Come join us in the fun!



SNAP BAG class -- Want a quick and easy project?  Try making a snap bag.  In fact, make two or three.  Didn't we say they were quick and easy?  Join us on March 6th at 6 pm to give it a try.  Call now to sign up!



SERGER CLUB -- Do you own a serger but don’t know how to use it?  Would you like to do more than just finish seams?  If you answered YES to either question, then come join us at the first ever Serger Club, where you will learn all about your serger by making a variety of different projects that will teach you the many techniques a serger can do.  Join us March 9^th from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.

 At first, we will start with simple projects that can be completed the same day.  Each month you will work on a project in class, learning new techniques and ways to use your serger.  Taught by a Martha Pullen licensed teacher, projects will be taken from Martha Pullen curriculums and other sources so there will be a wide variety of projects for you to work on and learn from.

The first meeting will be “Getting to know your serger”.  You will learn about the features of your serger and stitches that it makes.  (ALL brands welcome.)  You will also make a sample reference workbook of stitches that you can refer back to for help.  You won’t want to miss this class!  It provides a sound foundation on which to build.  The next month, we will make 2 baby items that will be your go-to gifts any time you need a quick baby gift.  Later, we can tackle larger projects that will take 2 to 4 meetings to complete.

Kits will be available for many classes and some months you will use fabrics from your own stash.  Cost is $25 per month for the class.  The kit prices will vary depending on the project.  Kits for March will be $7. 

We are excited to open up a whole new world of sewing to you.  Sign up today and join us for the fun!


EMBROIDERY EXTRAVAGANZA -- Join us for a fun-filled day of embroidery sewing, even if you have never machine embroidered before.  Cost is just $99.99 which includes the projects, lunch, snacks and TONS of fun.  If you have an embroidery machine - sign up for the March 15 class (any brand).  If you aren't an owner, March 16 is the day for you.  Warning:  You just might become hooked!
