If you are participating in the Swap, the Partner Assignment Email just went out!!!

04/21/2021

The good news: I figured out how to get the swap partners to display inside the attendee area on the website!

The bad news: right after that, I crashed the website doing something dumb, and I can’t call the techies until the sun rises.

So if you are trying to get to the website in the next couple of hours... it’s down for maintenance! 🤣

The popular quilt along add-on is back!
Join Ebony as she hosts three exclusive 1-hour sessions of one of her most popular patterns: Dragon Wheel! This project has only been available as a print pattern, and this will be the first time it is presented online as a class.
Ebony will teach you how to piece the foundational blocks for this quilt, demonstrate her mock needle-turn techniques, and invite you into a private room where you can chat and share progress with other quilt along participants.
Dragon Wheel is perfect for prints you want to showcase, but if you don’t have any (ha, ha), there is a kit available as well. The pattern comes with a paper template, but if you’d prefer more accurate cutting, you can add on an Orange Peel template or the Sizzix die. (Also; if you have the 12″ Clammy, that will make the same sized orange peel.)

Maia Hunt is today’s Maker Mail Monday highlight.
She says, “Thank you, Ebony, for continuing to host these events. I don’t know if I would have kept my quilty mojo up without them. You are a wonderful hostess and bring on great quilters to teach us fun things.”
Thank YOU for continuing to come to these events, Maia! It wouldn’t be the same without all of you playing bingo and laughing along with us.

Private rooms are back!
It’s like a retreat within a retreat. In addition to our open sew rooms, which are open 24-hours a day, you can reserve a private room for you and your friends. Everyone can talk and share, making it feel like you’re all sitting together at the retreat. Just what we all need – a way to connect with our friends, even from home!
