![]() Greetings from Quilt Shop Co-op!
Community Sewing Days! Join Jennie Baltutis or Laurie Bushbaum and other quilters/sewists for conversation, community and crafting! Bring a project that you are working on or just show up and we can get you started on something! We put on the coffee and tea! For only $10 for the day, you get a large work table, extra quilting tools if needed, a fridge / microwave for your lunch and a staff member who can offer advice and experience. And of course, if you need extra fabric, we have plenty of that in the shop. We can also help you carry your machine upstairs. Sign up for Community Sewing Days. Offered on Wednesdays on October 20th, November 17th and December 8th for $10 (See specific times below in calendar).

New Classes! Pieced Jacket (2.0) Did you miss our first offering and still want a cozy jacket that no one else has? Join this class to make one. The Tremont Jacket from The Sewing Workshop is easy to sew. The pattern and a variety of fabrics are available at Quilt Shop Co-op. The class is two sessions; you should plan to attend both classes on Nov 3 and 10. The class fee is $60. Pattern ($22.95) and fabric (3.33 yards) are purchased separately. Basic clothing construction experience is recommended. Machine Quilting Class with Twila Richter - Nov 4th Learn one of the last steps in finishing your quilting project: free motion quilting. The sky is the limit in the texture and visual interest you can create. The instructor will supply each participant with a quilt “sandwich” on which to practice.
Below is Twila with one of her award winning quilts. The class is one session on Nov. 4 and we suggest bringing a bag lunch. Machine Binding Class - Nov 13th Learn, refresh or refine your machine binding skills. Learn and document each of the steps so that you never forget. Twila will be supplying a fabric kit for each participant to take you through the 11 steps. At the end of the class you will have a “story board” to bring home as a reference in finishing your quilts in the future. The photo shows what your "story board" will look like and Twila is featured with her "Binding Story Board" Quilt Shop Co-op CalendarBlock of the Month Clubs Coming Up Roaring 20s Block of Month Club Update: now starting in mid October due to fabric delay, and lasting for 6 months Quilt Shop Coop presents The Roaring Twenties Block of the Month from Studio E Fabrics.
