EQ6 BLOCK CHALLENGE

ROSE OF SHARON

SHARON PEDERSON

We saw Sharon Pederson’s Rose of Sharon Quilt made from the EQ6 Block Challenge and fell in love with the colors and block designs. Next came the sampler and it didn’t disappoint. The colors are beautiful, as you can see.

Bush Family Affair is using the actual fabric used in Sharon Pederson’s EQ6 Block Challenge Quilt. Come by, see the sampler and sign up today. This BOM starts in January.

THE STORE IS BUZZING

Excitement is in the air. We are busy getting ready for our Shop Hop scheduled for April 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. Coy has been busy doing raw-edge applique from Bigfork Bay Cotton Company. If you haven't been by the store and seen what he is working on, it is a must that you drop in. These are wonderful! Here are a few pictures.

Carol has frantically been working on piecing the quilt below featuring a new line of fabric called Roses by Maywood. Here is a peek at it before quilting. We hope to have it quilted by the Shop Hop dates.

Some other new lines of fabric in just in time for the Shop Hop are:

Frolic by Moda

Luna by Maywood

Made of Honor

Floral Vignettes Traditional by Paint Brush Studios

As most of you know, Gail has the largest selection of wide linings and has made sure she is stocked up for the Shop Hop. We also have many Batiks and Kona Bay fabrics available.

During the Shop Hop, while you are shopping, if you purchase five fat quarters you will receive one free. If you buy ten fat quarters, you will receive three free!

Be sure to mark your calendars and come join us for the fun during our "Hop the River Shop Hop"!

THANK YOU!

I would like to thank all of you for allowing me to be able to take time off Saturday to watch my grandchildren at their archery competition. There were 11 clubs represented. Brooks placed 1st and Conrad came in 3rd. The next competition is March 13th in Stoud. Wish us luck!

REPEAT SALE!

2010-02-04T11:28:00.003-06:00

Thanks to all who attended our "Groundhog Day Sale" on Tuesday. We had a good turn out and hope all found what they needed. We have heard from the ones who missed out because of no electricity or just couldn't get out in the weather and have decided to have another sale to accommodate them. If you didn't get enough of us the first time, you are welcome to come again. So here's the info.

Yes, We Survived!

Yea! We have electricity again! This is a luxury we all take for granted until you don't have it. The store is up and running (with a few family members still bunking out until their power is restored). We are still planning on having our "Groundhog Day Sale" tomorrow, Feb. 2nd from 1:00p.m. to 5:00p.m. We hope all of you can make it. Hope to see you tomorrow!

WE SURVIVED QUILT CAMP AT GAIL'S

2010-01-19T08:03:00.007-06:00

The Washita Valley Churndashers Quilt Guild came for a weekend of fun at Quilts by Gail. We had a great turn out, 14 total quilters.

The fun started on Thursday with a trip to the Oklahoma Winter Quilt Show and ended Saturday evening with projects a little closer to completion.

Everyone worked on projects of their choice. We saw bits and pieces of the Orion Star, Day and Night, the Disappearing 9-patch, the Wedding Ring, and even some long over due mending (thanks to Connie).

Our "Early Riser" award goes out to Louise and Sharon. (I think we all know better than that!)

Our "Most Organized" award was a toss-up. (We'll let you decide.)

All in all, it was a good time with good friends.

Thanks to all who attended and we look forward to doing it again!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

What a weekend! We would like to send a special thank you out to all of you who had a part in this weekends "Quilt Exhibit" from the organizers and vendors to the quilters who let us exhibit their wonderful quilts.

A PEEK AT OUR FUTURE

This is Lauren Switzer from Oklahoma City. She is nine years old and made this quilt with the help of her "Mimi". She gave it to her mother for her birthday.

Job well done, Lauren!

Kelsey Newlyn is also a beginner quilter from Tuttle, Oklahoma. She is five years old and enjoyed putting this quilt together with her "Mimi".
Great job, Kelsey!

Way to go "Mimi" for encouraging our future quilters.

Okay, many of you have been asking when Gail was going to get connected on the web. Well, here it is. Our first attempt! Let us know what you think.

The past couple of weeks have been busy getting ready for the craft/quilt show. The shop has been humming with people checking in their quilts for the show. The show is scheduled for Nov. 13th and 14th. We look forward to seeing each of you there!

Take a look at what's new at the shop.

Bye for now. See you at the show!
