Quilter's Journey

Welcome to Quilter's Journey BlogSpot!
We are a quilt shop located in rural Missouri. 
Our hours are Wednesday-Friday, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.  Starting March 7, 2016, we will only be open on Saturdays until the end of May.  At that time, I am retiring from my teaching position.  After my retirement, Quilter's Journey will be open Wednesday-Friday, Noon-6:00 p.m. and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
We have a program that we call Third Saturday Sampler.  On the Third Saturday of each month, starting in January, come to the shop at 10:00 a.m.  There will be demos and we will show our new merchandise.  We start a new quilt each year.  Purchase the first block that Saturday for $5.00.  Make your block before the next Third Saturday, bring it with you on the next Third Saturday, stay for the demo, and receive the next block free!  If you come every month, you can receive all of your quilt blocks for a quilt for $5.00!  If you have to miss a Third Saturday, come in anytime after the Third Saturday to purchase your block for $5.00, make your block and get back on track. 
This year, the quilt we are making has optional border blocks that you can purchase.  You will receive fabric for 4-5 blocks for $7.00.  There will be 5 sets of border blocks that you can purchase and make.  They will be available every month or every other month (I haven't decided yet).

We are also doing the Moda Sampler Block Shuffle.  You can purchase 3 patterns for $1.00 at Quilter's Journey or download them from this BlogSpot.  They will be available on this BlogSpot for the month between each Third Saturday.  The first three are available at the top of the page.  You can print as many copies as you want.  To print them, open the page, right click on the image and select "copy".  Open a word document.  Right click on the word document and select "paste".  This will put the image in the word document so you can print the image or save it to your computer. 
If you purchase them from the shop, the money will go to a local charity.  This will only be available for one month starting the Third Saturday in January (January 16, 2016).
I am suggesting that you get a binder or some type of notebook to put all your patterns in, unless you are saving them to your computer.
These blocks do not take much fabric to make.  We will have "Cake Pops" available at Quilter's Journey to purchase.  They are a 10" square that is rolled up and held together with a rubber band.  We have lots of fabrics available with more to follow.  You can use the "Cake Pops" to make your blocks.

The third thing we are starting this year is a Quilter's Journey Ruler Club.  The first ruler is the 8" Rainbow Template by Elisa's Backporch Design.  She has some patterns that use that ruler.  We will have 2-3 of the patterns available to purchase.  The rulers are on order.  If they arrive tomorrow, we will start the Ruler Club this Saturday.  If they do not come in, we will start in February.  Come to Quilter's Journey to find out what it is all about!

That's all for now. 
Happy Quilting!
