April Updates

Hello quilters! Just a few updates for you today.




First of all, some exciting news... Karen Neary of Amherst (our Aurifil thread supplier) will be a
guest on the American Patchwork and Quilting Podcast with Pat Sloan on Monday April 9. It will be "live" at 5p.m. our time. You can find the link to tune in and listen on Karen's blog post here.





If you will be traveling to Maine this month, don't forget about the Maine Shop Hop which runs for the month of April. There are 30 quilt shops participating! You can find a list of the shops, print your Shop Hop passport, and get more info by clicking here. There is fun to be had, and prizes to be won, ladies!!


For those of you doing the Christmas Gnomes for the Holidays Block of the Month with Fatcat Patterns, you might like to know that a new free BOM has just started, for a Hallowe'en quilt. It's called  BooTacular and measures 53" x 65". There are 10 blocks, and this BOM runs from now (April) 'til January 2019, with one block being available for free download each month. After the month has ended, there is a small charge for each block pattern. So you have to remember to visit the site each month and print off your pattern and instructions! The first block is now available as are the general instructions and yardage requirements. Click here to join in the fun!
