Did you know? What exactly is a Fat Quarter?

A Fat Quarter is made by cutting a ½ metre of fabric in half, lengthwise. So, instead of a strip of fabric that is ¼ m by the width of the fabric, you have a piece that is ½ m by half the width of the fabric (approx. 19 ½” x 22”). Here are some great pattern ideas for using up Fat Quarters: Yellow Brick Road, Turning Twenty, Turning Twenty Again, and Convergence. See any of us for more ideas!

The 2007 Thimbleberries Club information has now arrived!

"House and Garden" is the theme for this year, and we're quite excited about the whole program. The fabrics and the projects look great, and there has been positive feedback from our current club members. Please stop by to get the details for our Thimbleberries Club 2007.




Classes

We still have a number of classes with space available. Here is a listing of titles and dates. If there is something that catches your eye, please pick up a complete listing.

Register early to avoid disappointment!

If a class interests you, but the date or time is inconvenient, let us know. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. If you're from out of town, and would love to take a class, but don't have your equipment here, we have tools and machines available for you to use. If there is something you'd like to learn, please let us know. All ideas for future classes are welcome... we want to offer what you want to learn!

Stash Club Information

We have changed our Stash Club program! Stash Club rewards you, as a thank you for your business! Effective September 1, 2006, we changed to the "punch card" system. Whenever you reach $200 spent on ALL items, regular priced or on sale, (class fees, gift certificate purchases and all taxes excluded) you will receive a $20 credit. Please ensure that you fill out your new Stash Card the next time you're in the store. We will keep them here, so whether we see you once a week, or once a year, your card will be waiting for you on your next visit!
