Of course don’t forget Civil War Stitchers offers the smaller projects – perhaps a month or two.
Barb is having fun getting her breakfast classes ready…be sure to come join her on the 4th Saturday...
she serves you breakfast (YUM!) and then you get to do what you love, QUILT and spend time with your quilting friends.

Something NEW!

Our little Pat has been at it again…
she’s brainstormed more fun for all of us at Ivy Thimble and it includes YOU!
Each month we are going to be showcasing a type or theme of fabric –
we’ll have samples from a wide assortment of patterns or books…
some with kits available and some you get to make up your own!
Monday, January 17 thru Saturday, January 22 will be our first ‘showcase’ week.
We will be showcasing “BATIKS”!
Many of you already have a great love for batiks…some of you have never tried working with them.
Now is your chance to quilt out of the box!
The staff at Ivy has been very busy making all sorts of samples ~
bags, jackets, wallhangings to quilts to showcase how beautiful batiks can be!
If we don’t have the sample in a kit we’ve got the patterns and/or books to get you started on your first 2011 Batik project!
To top it off…BATIKS ON SALE 25% off ALL WEEK!
