Fabric Stencil of the Month
Come learn the
fine art of stenciling on fabric. Each month our own Long Island
Artist, Cindy Bateman will be making original stencils
exclusively coordinated for Gone Sewin and you from our own
fabric.
Classes will be 3
hours each month and will include the muslin to be stenciled on,
use of the original unique stencils, paints, a fat quarter of
the coordinated fabric and use of Cindy’s brushes your first
class. If you wish you can purchase a stencil to create this
magnificent design to use on multiple pieces of fabric or on
multiple projects.
Patterns will be
available to help you decide what you want to make with the
stencils...bags, quilts, wall hangings and much more. A
different design will be created each month and you can choose
which months you prefer. This way you can purchase as much or as
little of the coordinating fabric to make what you want besides
the fat quarter.
The samples can

I have planned another class as
requested for the Arkansas Crossroads Quilt Top Sunday, June 27
from 11 - 5pm. The class was sold out last month so I am
offering it again. The picture is here _____________ and you can
see the sample in the store.
You can either buy a kit or come
in and get the pre-requisite cutting that has to be done before
class. It is a great one for those smaller 2 1/2" scraps you
never know what to do with or choose some new fabric pallete of
your choice, buy some pre-cut pieces, or do some of both! You
can see pictures of the first class at the bottom of Gallery 10.
If you are interested in doing the quilt but that day is not
good for you because of graduations, please let me know.
The groovey boards on the
Longarm are working great and people have been using them
themselves and I have been using them to add to the artistry
when I do your quilts for you. Not to mention they are a lot of
fun and make the quilts look really good!
A reminder: I will be closed
Sunday June 13, and Sunday June 20th if no one is scheduled to
come in.
Toni 5/9/10 It has been awhile and I have much exciting news to share: As you can see I am back from my terrific classes on my Longarm, and boy were they great! I can not wait to go back next year. My head is overflowing with knowledge and ideas for working on your quilts and teaching you what I have learned and I bought Millie some new toys. That is what I have been busy doing since I got back...setting her up so she is even easier to use to do your quilts, and quilting peoples quilts I was saving till I got her new equipment. I bought a large number of EZ Boards that are so much easier to use than the pantographs. Only the best for Millie. You can see some of the designs here <http://www.gonesewin.com/> that are available for you to use when you rent her too. Right now you can see how much fun people have been having on her in the last few Gallery pages on my website, and soon I will make one just for her so you can see the beautiful things people and I are doing on her. I knew it was going to fun getting her, but I never knew how much. Other great news...Electric Quilt 7 is almost ready and I am offering a special price in the next few weeks on both the whole package and the upgrades. As you know I am always using this software program to design classes and to help you design your quilts or re vamp them. If you have not seen it, come in for a quick demo. I have one at work and at home. The deal they are offering on their website is $142 for the whole package PLUS $8 shipping and the upgrade is $58 PLUS $8 shipping. Regularly $189.95 and $89.95 respectively after June 1. I will match their offer for $142 or $58 and Gone Sewin will pay the shipping. That is how much I love and encourage this software. All you have to do is come in and pay for it by Wednesday, May 26 so I know how many to order. I already have a list started, with me on the top. Any questions, just call the store! It is a great deal you do not want to miss if you are interested in the program at all or ever had any questions. I also give lessons on it for those of you that need it. Until next time, Toni |
