HELP!

I am so thankful for all of you. I admire the way you love and support one another and for your generosity. As most of you know I am the National Honor Society Advisor for Stevens High School. As a service project the Honor Society students are collecting personal items for Families in Transition. They are contacting businesses in the community. I told them I would contact all of you. We are asking for donations of items that are the basics we use everyday. Hand soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, hand towels, bath towels and laundry soap. New socks would also be appreciated. These items will be used by families in need here in our community. Any donation will be welcomed. Please bring the items into the store this week. I will keep you all updated. See you all soon. Thanks again. Becky~

Hope this finds everyone well and happy! Make plans to come and sew the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. It will be our 4th annual "Get Ready for Christmas!"I am really looking forward to sewing some Christmas stockings. We have a new tree skirt pattern too. Come in and see the sample. Kits will be available. If you don't want to sew Christmas things how about some gifts? The little zip bags can be made for any occasion. They are great to fill with little necessities. A cuddle quilt makes a great gift too. See you soon! Becky~

I love summer--don't you? The sun and the heat and sewing in air conditioned bliss. :) Tonight TW finished her Jinny Beyer tote bag. It came out perfect (and her husband didn't think she would finish her bag). BL worked on her strip scrap quilt. It is one of my favorite patterns. KG and I made kits and got the counter all cleaned off. I am going to do a calendar tomorrow so that all you thimbleberries club members will be the first to get one. See you on Saturday!

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

What a fun day at the store! SB came in the afternoon and made pillowcases. They are so beautiful. I love the color combinations. She has inspired AB to join her in the pillow case frenzy.

Don't forget to use your coupon for July-- 20% off machine quilting New notions and fabric. The D-rings and swivel hooks are in for those of you who need them for making bags.

Thimbleberries on Saturday--See you then if not tomorrow!

Sunday, July 11, 2010

So good to be back! Had a wonderful time. Everyone is doing fine. Took lots of pictures. We thouroughly enjoyed our trip. Of course as soon as I drove into Claremont--I wanted to see how Four Pines was doing! Good news it is still there with lots of new things to see. Some beautiful buttons to use on bags. I love Hillcreek Design buttons. The AccuCut Go display is up. I am excited about using it to make something, but first I need to make a new calendar. I picked up an awesome pattern in South Dakota that uses a large print, the ones you just don't want to cut. Look through your stash and see if you can find a piece. I will be in the store Wednesday night for class. See you then. We can get started on our Bargello Quilts!

Thursday, June 24, 2010

Hope all is well at Four Pines Quilting. I am on my way to see my daughters and their families. So that being said, tomorrow I am going to look for a quilt shop that I can share with all of you! Thanks to BL and Brent for taking care of the classes. I heard a rumor that someone used their rotary cutter the wrong way last night. Lots of sewing on Wednesday. Hope all your projects are closer to being done. I love the new patterns with the rainbow rack of zippers. Can't wait to make some little bags. Would love to hear your comments. Just click on "The Blog" A new window will come up and you will be able to let me know how things are going. More tomorrow! Word of the day--Smile! You all have beautiful smiles that really lift me up when you share them with me.

Saturday, June 19, 2010

What a beautiful day! Just like summer. :) Thimbleberries Club was lots of fun. What's new..demos and sharing. Always good to see everyone. BF won the door prize--20% off her kit. Pillow cases were dropped off or made for the a Million Pillowcase Challenge (and a stamp on a game card). Hope to see everyone at the Guild Meeting on Tuesday. We are going to sew up a storm--Quilts of Valor are on the agenda. PS and JL worked on their table runner and placemat sets--they are looking really good. WS worked on her bindings and a quilt--the quilt for her grand daughter came out beautiful. JL made a pillowcase to put the quilt she made for her granddaughter in. What a great way to give the gift of a quilt. We have several baby quilts for sale if you need a gift in a hurry. Tons of fabric came in Friday. The cutest panel came in for a baby quilt. We made up some kits for girls and boys. BL and I whipped up an awesome autumn theme quilt in a hurry. We plan to have the pattern and kit made for that one too. Hope you have a safe and peaceful Sunday. See you next week.

Thursday, June 17, 2010

Quiet evening at Four Pines. WS made a beautiful pillowcase for the challenge and to get a stamp in her Hop into the Shop. She is going to get it done! TW started her Jinny Beyer tote bag. BL worked on bindings and helping TW. She is the best teacher ever. If you want to make a bag--she is the one to go to. Be sure to come to Thimbleberries Club on Saturday. There is a plan for lots of stamps in your card. Great demo planned. Don't forget to come in on Saturday--a stamp in your book for purchasing $4.99 fabric for $3.99.See you Saturday.

Wednesday, June 16, 2010

What did I do Wednesday night--cut-cut-cut! AB and CB made their Cat quilts. They needed a break from their other projects. I love panel quilts. BL is even working on one. A king size! They provide instant gratification. CB came in and finished her beach scene. It is so pretty. JL and VS cut their strips into triangles for their table runner and placemats. They are going to be beautiful. How are you doing on your Hop into the Shop? Don't forget...Thimbleberries club on Saturday. We are starting a new block of the month in July. It will be fun...no kits, pick it up at anytime...a free monthly block pattern. You just need to pick out you background fabric (3 1/2 yards) Then it is just 2 fat quarters a month. You will want to keep everything together because the parts of the fat quarters you don't use each month will be part of the finishing kit! Do you need a word of the day? How about "home". I love being at home. It is a fun and safe place to relax and be with friends and family. See you at Four Pines Quilting... my second home. :)

Thursday, June 10, 2010

Another week is almost over. CB came in tonight and started her beach scene with the batik confetti. It is looking great. TW came in just to show us her beautiful quilt and check out some classes. Next week she is going to work on a Jinny Beyer Bag. We still have a few kits left. LK worked on her paper piecing sampler. She made an awesome tree, then she trimed and sewed on the line, turned it over and wondered why the stitching showed. Oops--forgot to put the fabric on. :) She also brought in a treat to celebrate BL's birthday! Love that Chocolate cake.. Let that be the word of the day! Yummy chocolate! Hope to see all of you out there on Saturday. Don't forget-20% off your school colors in celebration of Alumni weekend. So hop into the shop and get your cards stamped. Before you know it you will have earned your prizes of a 6-session sewing card, 15% off purchases for the summer or 15% off machine quilting for the summer (you can also earn all three prizes). See you soon!

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Come in and check out the store. We have some new displays to show off our new notions and fabrics. A special table has been set up for classes.
Busy class night. The table runner with six placemats is a hit. I can't wait to see how the different color combinations look. JL got started on hers first--PS came in and got hers cut out to. Both of them sewing those strips like pros. BL made sure they were putting them together correctly. VS made a pillow sham for a birthday gift. Then she decided to join the fun with JL and PS.
SB started putting her blocks together. It always feels so good to start putting the top together after sewing all the blocks. AB finished her tote bag. It is gorgeous. She is thinking about joining the table runner crew next week. Hope she does. It would be fun to see another combination. I would like to make it in thimbleberries colors. KG made a quick table runner from a kit (frame-up). She wasn't ging to stay but we talked her into it. It is like a party! Hope you can join us tomorrow for Batik confection.
WS is headed on vacation. She stopped in to get the borders on a baby quilt and sew the back for her granddaughter's quilt. Both of them are on the quilting que now. They should be finished when she gets back.
We need a word of the day..remarkable. That is what each of you are-remarkable. You each have your own unique gifts that are so incredible. It is a pleasure to call you friends. Life is so much sweeter knowing remarkable people like you!

Saturday, June 5, 2010

I love Saturday! Busy day..lots of Shop Hop cards passed out. You get a free fat quarter when you decide to play. The prizes are good for the whole summer so don't miss out. Did you notice the little rabbit wall hanging? It is a little kit you can earn as you complete your shop hop card. JL finished her quilt for her granddaughter. WS almost has hers done. BL worked on baby quilts. If you need one in a hurry we have a few for sale in the store. I made some kits with the new patterns from Swirly Girls. Be sure to take advantage of the Go Cutter at 20% off a $70.00 savings. A new block of the month will be starting in July. Nothing to sign up for. You will just need to pick up your pattern each month. More details later. Have a restful and peaceful Sunday.

Thursday, June 3, 2010

They are back! WS and LK came in tonight to sew! WS is working on a quilt for her granddaughter. It is really cute. I love the pattern Walk About. It does a nice job showcasing a fun or large print. Cute frogs! LK worked on her paper piecing project. The little sampler is so fun to make with little bits and pieces -- but LK is using those scrap therapy blocks. Hope you are planning to come in for scrap therapy Saturday. Just bring the scraps--pick out a pattern and we will help you cut the pieces. There is a cute little scrappy Scottie Dog we can work on. BL and WS are very interested in the secret word that they need from the blog so they can get their game card stamped. So today the secret word is friends. It is always good to see a friend.
See you Saturday!

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

Wow! Is it Wednesday already? Hope you are taking advantage of our summer Shop Hop. Hop in this week and pick up your game card. Lots of prizes. You can even earn a little wall hanging that is just so cute. :) Don't forget about the July coupon for 20% off machine quilting. You have plenty of time to finish a project by July. Guess what came in today--66 one yard pieces of different batiks. It is the new collection for spring 2010. We are calling them batik bars--come in and get your favorite colors for $10.00 each. Be sure to check out the web deal. If you want to pick it up at the store just mention that you read it on the web site. Have a great day..did I tell you that I can cut 36- 3-1/2" squares in less than a minute? Come to scrap therapy this weekend and find out how. Pick a project and I will help you cut it!

Happy Memorial Day!

I was able to get my quilt done on Saturday after organizing the clearance corner a bit. Did you know you can get 6 yds of fabric for $10.00. That is what I call A GREAT DEAL! Perfect for quilt backs. Brent got the table runner done with the six matching placemats...Lucky 7. They are on the calendar for June 9th, 16th and 23rd. Just in time for summer. Don't forget that batik confection is this Thursday. The kits are in and we have all the supplies you need to make a beautiful beach landscape. The June Hop into the Shop Passport is ready for pick-up. The sooner you get yours the sooner you get a free fat quarter and the opportunity to earn some great prizes. Have a great Memorial day picnic.

Friday, May 28, 2010

I was checking out my home page (which happens to be this page). I looked over to the right and saw a column which says "What's New". Wow--April 27. Well I just want you all to know there is lots of new -- fabric, books, patterns, kits ands notions. Some beautiful civil war prints came in from Windham--the best part only $4.99 a yard. Some 30's prints came in too. Very spring time looking. Big plans for tomorrow--I really want to finish my word quilt. Stop in and see us. Get ready to earn a summer sewing pass! The game begins June 1st. The sewing pass can be used in August and September. Watch the blog for details. PS brought her twins in. They are so cute I can't believe they are a year old! The past year has just flown by.

Thursday, May 27, 2010

I just can't believe it is Thursday! Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner. I am enjoying the irises. My daisies are getting ready to bloom. Tonight PS was making her snap sack kits. They are so cute. Her flowers came out beautiful. AB was excited to see BL. She wants to get her Jenny Beyer bag done. She is working on the blue colorway with the star. KG made two quilt tops. She sure enjoys making"convenience" quilts. They are pretty! BL finished her citizen Sam quilt and started cutting out a kit. I got to work on my words to live by quilt. I must say it looks pretty good. Hope you can make it in this weekend. Lots of new patterns and some notions that are going fast! Have a great Friday.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Busy night at the quilt shop. Did I tell you about the air conditioning? CB is busy with her blocks--the colors are beautiful. I love the friendship star in the center. BL worked on a table runner with matching placemats. Come in a check it out. The class will start June 9th. You can use fat quarters or yardage. VS finished her mini bow-tie bag. It is so cute. Just needs a button. Did I tell you we will be getting a rack of buttons from Hillcreek Designs, perfect for handbags and embellishing. KG contemplated working on her latest creation. All in all a fun night. Hope you will join us tomorrow!

Monday, May 24, 2010

You would not believe what can fit into a couple of suitcases! Come in tomorrow and check it out. Guild Meeting Tuesday night--Hope to see JS --found a couple of patterns I know she will like. I found an awesome book with a doll and her wardrobe. She is so cute! I saw her hanging in a booth with lots of outfits--I just couldn't resist. I can't wait to make her. The latest scissor pals are in too. There are a couple of new ones for those of you that collect. See you tomorrow night!

Back from Market!

Home at last! What a busy time we had in Minneapolis. Classes all day Thursday, more on Friday and Saturday and Sunday too! We picked up some great notions. I am really excited about the magnetic pin cushion--it has a magnet that has some power and a little drawer. Brenda found some really nice snips--three colors to choose from. We brought back some patterns, fat quarters and kits. Something for everyone. We ordered fabric, notions, books and patterns. What a great summer we are going to have. Hope to see you all this week. Pillow cases on Wednesday and Open Sewing on Thursday. Have a great week!

Another Beautiful Day

A busy day at the store. So fun to see everyone at Thimbleberries Club. Thanks to GJ for inviting DD and AF to come. The extra project this month is a quilt as you go table runner. Lots of creative ideas to personalize the pattern. Of course BL won the monthly drawing--20% off her kit! Next month we are going to get creative before the drawing. :) PS, KG and BL stayed to sew. PS worked on her tote bag and finished it! KG got the bindings on her quilts. BL worked on her thimbleberries blocks--in her words, "I finally got the damned things done!" (just to let you know there is a right flower and left flower). She also started a baby quilt for the Downey Project. PS received the kits. They are going to share at quilt guild. Sounds like another sewing night. If you are looking for a quick or should I say SUPER quick tablerunner a kit is available for that last minute gift. Come in and see it all made up--Be sure to come in and PARTY with Brent on Wednesday and Thursday and make the Braid Table Runner! He will have your kit --ready for sewing--just let him know you will be there.

Red, White and Blue

What a beautiful day! Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine. A perfect day for doing some work in the garden or taking a walk. I was so happy to finish the last mystery quilt we did. I love the red, white and blue. It is so nice. Of course I am the last one to finish...but one stitich at time you can finish any project. There is something about a red, white and blue quilt. I am going to use all my red, white and blue scraps to make a really scrappy quilt. Very similiar to the one I made with my 30's fabrics. Take a peek at on the bed the next time you are in the store. Let me know if you are interested in joining me. It is very fun and easy. BL is still working on her red, white and blue star gazing quilt. It is going to look so awesome. She also made a pillow case to match her Patriot Quilt. She has inspired me to make one to match my courtyard steps quilt! KG put the binding on her kitty quilt. It is so cute. The company was great--the sewing was fun! Be sure to come to Thimbleberries Club on Saturday!

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Bags & More Bags

Hope you have your cat quilt...the fabric is going-going-gone! AB, CB & VS were very excited that they got the rest of the fabric for the backs of their quilts!

AB came in tonight with her Autumn Patches snap sack all done except for the binding. She sewed it on and then she learned that it is easy to twist the binding. It has happened to me too. :) Then she worked on her Jenny Beyer Tote Bag. WoW! It is awesome looking.

VS is working on a bag she started at home! It is very springtime looking with flowers on a green background and a beautiful pink accent fabric.

CB is still working on her blocks. She is "getting there". She is almost ready to put all the pieces together to make the big blocks. Next week she will be on her way!

BL made a beautiful Patriot Quilt for Citizen Sam. Get more information at citizensam.org
The quilt is for injured soldiers being transported. (she also sewed some more scrap therapy blocks)

See you tomorrow night...There is fabric calling your name!

Saturday, May 8, 2010

What a day. Bernie and I got to the store really early to get the tents set up for the National Honor Society Sale. Thanks to all of you for the Donations for the Honor Society. CF came in the store for the first time--she thinks she might want to join us after her daughter graduates from High School.

JE came in and picked up her quilt. What a beautiful job. It looks awesome.

BL got all her star blocks done for her star gazing quilt. I'm impressed. I need to get mine done. LK started sewing mine one night when she didn't have anything else to do. Now I just need to get mine done too!

PS worked in her Jenny Beyer bag. It is beautiful! She is doing a great job! We have a few kits left. Come in and BL will be happy to help you!

KG made two quilt tops! Those Caterwauling Panels are great! She made one for her granddaughter to match her Mom's. I put mine in the window. I have to say it is one of my favorites. You should see the screen bag that SG made with the border print. They look like summer and the beach.

More next week! Have a wonderful Mother's Day! Becky~

Friday, May 7, 2010

Spring is here! What fun we are going to have! I have big plans. When I went to visit my Grandma Vi a few years ago, she was cleaning out some boxes of papers and pictures. She told me to take anything I wanted. I held back--I wanted it all--but I did not want to be greedy. When she had a young family they lived in Kansas. She wrote a column for the local newspaper. All about who was visiting, where people were going, who wasn't feeling well... it was full of friendly news about friends and neighbors. That is who we are at Four Pines Quilting --friends and neighbors. So I am not going to use names--only initials. You can keep up with the news--just in case you miss us on Wednesday or Thursday night. The weather is getting nice. Be sure to stop in. I will do my best to keep in touch with you. Feel free to add your two cents worth too!
