You will learn a different applique technique every month. The Silk Ribbon Embroidery Club meets the first Wednesday of each month, taught by Esther Randall. The class fee is $10.00 plus a minimal kit fee. Again, you will learn a different silk ribbon embroidery technique each month.

2011 Wasatch Front Shop Hop

We are anxiously preparing for the 2011 Wasatch Front Shop Hop in June. We have chosen the novel, "The Secret Garden", a charming English book about life's met and unmet expectations. We are transforming the shop into an Enlish Garden with loads of floral quilts, a garden swing and an appealing English treat. We will be featuring a display of Esther Randall's quilts and Silk Ribbon embroidery ideas. Also, Scott Blackham will be displaying and demonstrating his favorite Stack & Whack quilts. You'll want to hear him tell his tale of teaching 100 ladies how to make a Stack & Whack table runner in Park City last November. We'll also have other demos, contests and prizes.

We had a blast at our Halloween Party at last year's Shop Hop. You all willingly participated in our "bobbin' for apples", ate our "greasy" popcorn and enjoyed an old fashioned snow cone. Thanks for being such good sports. We plan on even more fun this year!

We have some great samples in the store this spring. Kathy Porter has tickled our fancy with two terrific African Quilts, one with snakes slithering across it. Everyone wants to sleep under a snake, RIGHT? So come and visit us really soon. And don't forget our 21st Birthday Party.

We hope to see you soon.

Just a little hello from us to you! We are Piper's Quilts & Comforts, located in the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake. We are currently busily turning the shop from Winter to Spring! There are tons of new projects that will beam warmth into these still chilly days. All of the pictures shown here are new projects in the shop as well as classes. Our latest class schedule can be accessed here, on our blog. Our blog is www.pipersgirls.com and is full of inspiration as well as free patterns, tips and techniques and so much more.
We are so excited for this years shop hop! Besides all of the usual fun, we will be expecting 2 new little additions to the Piper's family, hopefully they decide to make their appearance just after the Shop Hop weekend. Our theme this year is Alice & Wonderland and we will be transforming the shop like you would not believe. Hopefully you will be our guest at our Mad Hatters Tea Party!
Please come and visit us online or at the shop anytime!
P.S. We are currently doing Free Demo's every Wednesday at 2:00 PM. Each week stop by after lunch and learn a new technique, last week we did how to cut bias binding and mitered corners. The weekly schedule is on our blog as well as our Facebook page.

News from Whimsy Cottage

After six years with 7' ceilings, narrow rooms, no storage, no office and no classroom, we've found new space within a mile of our current location! We feel like we're graduating and becoming an adult quilt shop. Our move-in date will be April 1, but already we're buzzing with ideas for classes and events! The Wasatch Front Shop Hop, June 15 - 18, will be our first and biggest event and we can't wait to test the new space.

If you receive our newsletter, we'll let you know when we'll be at our new address: 1875 E. Murray-Holladay Road. Or, you can go to www.whimsycottage.net and ask to be added to our email-only newsletter.

A lot is happening here at Corn Wagon Quilt Co. We have several new classes and clubs that we have not offered before. We have started what we call our "Garden Club." The club meets once a month, usually on the third Friday of the month, and we stitch and chat while we recreate the Florence Peto Calico Garden quilt that is housed in the Shelburne Museum. We have the pattern and also some kits that contain reproduce fabric from the original quilt. We are having a great time visiting, sewing and making new friends. This club is free and open to anyone who is interested in growing a flower garden out of fabric. In March Marianne Michaels will be teaching a Crazy Quilt Class. She has several examples of her crazy quilts in the store and they are a must see. She has the traditional satin, silk & velvet crazy quilt, but she has also done a wool crazy quilt and just finished a table runner using wool and then embellished it with wool folk art applique. She will also be teaching a class on wool applique and embellishment. We are also excited to have Kerry Green come and teach her City & County Wool Bucket in February. She will be coming again in April to teach her Acorn's Promise Quilt. We also have classes for all skill levels. Please check our website and look at our class schedule which includes pictures. http://cornwagonquilts.com/images/2011_Winter_Class_Schedule.pdf

In May we are excited to have Miss Rosie, Carrie Nielson, come and teach two classes. We are currently finalizing the details with Carrie, but she has talked about creating a Schnibbles pattern just for our classes. We are excited to see what she has up her sewing sleeve. Once we know the details we will post them on our website: www.cornwagonquilts.com

We have several spring looking fabric lines that have arrived recently that will help chase those winter blues away. Did you know that besides offering traditional long arm quilting, we also offer quilt basting. We can put your quilt on the long arm and do the basting you need to do before hand quilting. This eliminates bending over banquet tables or crawling around the floor. If you have quilts that didn't get done for last Christmas, now is the time to get them quilted. The turn around is much quicker. We also offer hemstitching. We have lots of receiving blanket kits, but we will also hemstitch your flannel. The cost of hemstitching is $1 a running foot and that includes having all the raw edges serged. The serging creates a beautiful ravel free edge.

We are looking forward to Shop Hop in June. Mary Ann Nelson is busy creating our Shop Hop quilt. She loves to keep us guessing on what it is going to look like. All we know is it is going to include lots of red, black, and white. She is excited about it and that means it is going to be spectacular. The question is: "How small are her pieces going to be?" She is the queen of small!

We look forward to having you stop by for a visit. We love seeing you and be sure and bring in the projects you are working on. We love show and tell!
