CLASS

Call Sherry at (308) 250-5515 or e-mail bqs2004@yahoo.com to register for the class to make this quilt. It's perfect for the beginner and the advanced quilter alike. Come join the fun. The first class is scheduled to meet this coming Sunday, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m., at BORDERS Quilt Shop. Another class will be scheduled at a later date, to be scheduled based upon need. If you are interested in the class but can't make it this Sunday - please call or write and let me know what date and time works best for you. Pre-registration is must so I have a table for everyone as space is limited. Hope to see you there!

T-shirt Quilts

These quilts are so much fun! Send us your t-shirts and we'll make you a quilt. These are purrrrrrrrrrrfect for high school and college graduation gifts. To save on cost we can show you how to cut out the t-shirts and prepare them for the piecing and quilting process before you send them to us. And don't forget the back of your t-shirts. These are sometimes more interesting than the front. My favorites include signatures of classmates and team members. Your memory quilt then becomes a signature quilt as well! And while I'm at it - why stop there. We can transfer a photo (maybe a senior photo?) and piece that into the quilt as one block as well. One-of-a-kind! These quilts, like most quilts, take time to create. So plan now for your 2011 graduate! For more information call Sherry at 308-250-5515. Back to School! And that means FOOTBALL! Go RAIDERS! Go HUSKERS! GO BIG RED!!!

Bali Pops!, Jelly Rolls and the GO!

I love these things! As my least favorite part of quilt making is the cutting of fabric (I'm always in a BIG hurry to start putting the colors together to see the beauty of the combining of fabrics) these items let me get right to it! Instead of spending hours cutting out the fabrics BEFORE I can start creating these beautiful quilts - I can jump right in with the 2 1/2" strips which are the Bali Pops! and Jelly Rolls that come already coordinated in the most amazing combinations of fabrics, colors and prints. Or I can cut my own strips from the fabrics of my choosing with the GO! in just minutes. AMAZING invention! You can buy your own GO! or rent ours for $10 per hour. You can easily cut all the pieces for a variety of quilts in any size in less than an hour.
