Don't forget that we have a great variety of
masks in stock for only $5.00. Fabrics
change often so why not do like I've done
and have a lot of different ones to match
your outfits.
We are still offering curbside but if you
want to come in, please know the shop is
disinfected as everyone leaves and
throughout the day for the safety of our
staff and our customers.
To stay in compliance with Governor Kemp's
Guidelines we are taking the following
precautions:
You are required to wear masks while in our
shop. If you do not have a mask, we are
selling them for only $5.00.
You are required to be at least 6 feet apart
from anyone in the shop at all times. We
have also put up plastic over cutting table
and check out station for your safety. You
can put your fabric on the counter, step
back and we will cut it for you. This has
worked well for everyone.
We disinfect throughout the day to keep
everyone as safe as possible.
We are still offering curb-side delivery for
your convenience if you are not comfortable
coming into the shop. You may call us at
678-355-6776 and let us know what you need,
provide us with your credit card information
and we will deliver your purchase to the
curb by your car.
If you want to come into the shop, know we
are constantly disinfecting everything to
the best of our ability. For everyone's
safety and well being, we are monitoring our
own health before coming to work and would
appreciate everyone doing the same before
coming into the shop.
Thanks for your understanding and patience
in these trying times. This too shall pass
and things will get back to normal. Be sure
to help your friends and neighbors.

CLASSES
Thanks ,Prairie Women's Sewing Circle * New
Dates
Dates: Dec. 22, Jan. 26 and Feb. 23
Cost: $37.50
Instructor: Muriel Pfaff
A unique, monthly club that will take
you on a journey back in time as we
explore life along the Oregon Trail.
Gather together as the Prairie Women
did, and hear anecdotal stories about
their quilt-making, and what daily life
was like for those who traveled by wagon
trail. Each month we will be working on
quilt projects from The Prairie Women
Sewing Circle pattern set designed by
Pam Buda. At each monthly gathering, you
will receive a new quilt project pattern
along with tips, techniques, and
shortcuts for making the quilts. You
will also experience pioneer life in a
fun way with stories, food samples, and
an old-fashioned quilting bee-type
atmosphere. Sign up today as we journey
through the threads of time!
For those of you who love to read, this
is the perfect quilt class! Read a fun
book, discuss women’s issues (aka a
quilter’s therapy session), and make a
quilt. This club has it all! We will be
reading a charming series of books by
Jennifer Chiaverini (only one book each
4-month session) about friendships and
maybe some new things about quilting. In
November, we begin the book “The Runaway
Quilt”. I know you’ll enjoy all the new
adventures of your favorite characters,
as well as meeting some new characters
and also learning about the Underground
Railroad in this book. In addition to a
book discussion, we’ll be making Log
Cabin Quilts. Sign up today so you won’t
miss any of the fun as we start this new
book in a fun series!
Cost: $50 (You can "Drop Into" this
class for $25 for a single class)
Instructor: Muriel Pfaff
Feeling overwhelmed by the fabric and
UFOs you have in your stash? Want to see
them disappear? This is the class for
you! Start with a list of PhDs (Projects
Half Done), come to class, and let
Muriel help you with the problem areas.
Whether it’s design help, brushing up on
skills, using specialty rulers, or just
getting motivated to finish something,
this is the class for you. Each month
will also include lots of tips,
shortcuts, and inspiration. Finish all
your projects by the end of next year to
earn your PhD degree in quilting! This
class starts in November and is designed
to continue for a year (pay every 4
months), but drop-ins are welcome, as
space allows (pay by the month).
Binding 101
Date: Wednesday, December 2 (10 - 1)
Cost: $35
Instructor: Muriel Pfaff
Learn the technique of bias double-fold
binding with crisp corners and machine
or hand finishes, all while making a
cute "Three Pocket Purse". Class will
also include a discussion of other
binding techniques such as mock bindings
and "pillow turn" bindings. Rather than
working on a quilt, students will work
on attaching bias binding to an 18"
square of pre-quilted fabric. This will
ensure that everyone completes turning
four corners and finishes off the
ends. (Kit fabric may vary from photo
below.)
Quickie Strip Braid Quilt Class *

Instructor: Muriel Pfaff
You’ll be charmed, I’m sure, with all
the things you can do with 5” charm
packs! Each month focuses on a variety
of new projects. Fun and easy! Scrappy
Charm School projects are great stash
busters. Use a wide variety of fabric
scraps – any color or fabric style will
work - to create your own wonderful
scrap-style quilt. There’s no curved
piecing, but you’ll love all the circles
that appear when the quilt is
finished. And no charm school would be
complete without a few Southern-style
etiquette lessons thrown
in. Old-fashioned ‘charming’ fun!
Choose Your Adventure - Diamond Rects
Date: Tuesday, December 15 (10:00 -
1:00)
Cost: $35

of new ways to use rulers to create
unique borders that can be used to
design your own quilts! Each month will

occasionally. Start with the ruler
basics and then advance to lots of new
and creative ideas for designing borders
for your own quilt project. You will
learn a lot of quilt design math and
tips along the way! Class time will be
spent practicing techniques with the
rulers. After class, students will
design a unique border for their own
quilt. Size, style and design of each
quilt will be different. Take your
quilting to a new level with this unique
class! The class will focus on the
