Announcements for BMQG


Thank you to everyone who made it out last Saturday for our very first Sew-in Day over at the Quilt n sew quilt shoppe. I know that weather came into play that day in surrounding areas for a few of you as well as some sickies. We hope that everyone is feeling back up to par for our next sew in on March 12th from 10 am - 4 pm. I will share an official announcement when the day gets closer.

Robin hooked us all up with complimentary donuts, and had cutting tables, ironing boards, and everything we needed to start sewing, Thank you Robin for the fabulous space that you provided. Everyone was extremely impressed.

A few announcements on inquiries that people asked about::

1. Here is the link for the tutorial on how to sew hexagons without paper piecing them.

For those of you that love the paper pieces (much easier) The Strawberry Patch can order you any size you need at a great price.

2. For those of you who are interested in selling handmade goodies and having your own table at a craft show in October. (we talked about this on Saturday) Please email me for details. The place is here in Bakersfield set up for October selling.

3. Suzanne at the strawberry Patch now has Robert Kaufman's Essex linen in Putty and Natural for those of you who asked her to order it. this is fantastic stuff people !!!

4. Books we talked about at the sew in

These books can also be purchased locally in your quilt shops without shipping charges. If stock is out they can certainly order them for you, they are great books!

If I missed anything that you were interested in please remind me and I will be happy to post about it.

Can't wait to see you all on the 12th
