Greetings from the Round Bobbin!Hope all is well and everyone had a great summer! As you probably know, all is not well in our world, namely the horrific and catastrophic hurricanes that have ravaged the Carribean, Texas and Florida. My heart goes out to all the people who have been affected by these events, but I especially am drawn to the people of Puerto Rico. Two years ago, my husband became partners with a very well established businessman in Puerto Rico. Over these last two years, we have traveled to Puerto Rico a number of times and have gotten to know Josen and his family. As well, a number of employees from his company in Puerto Rico have relocated to our company, bringing immediate family only. We have established a bond of friendship and trust, as they are hardworking and dedicated people. Josen and his wife live full-time in Puerto Rico and the employees that have relocated still have lots and lots of family on the island. We have come to know them well, and we both have a soft spot in our hearts for their beautiful island. But, now, their island is not so beautiful. They are without power, without food and water and with very little hope of things turning around quickly. Tus, my husband, has set up a fund raising effort within his company to help them with direct assistance for necessities including water, batteries, and basic supplies. Soo, I thought the Round Bobbin and its wonderful customers could do the same! I am asking for monetary donations, and the Round Bobbin will match what we raise. Please give what you can. I promise that these funds will NOT get lost in bureaucratic no-man’s’ land. We are in a position to get these funds directly to the people, and we are very committed to doing so. I will have a collection box at the show, (OH speaking of the show! Join us, Saturday, September 23 for our biannual Class Preview Party! As of this writing, the morning show is full, but we have plenty space in the afternoon) or you may come into the shop to donate. Quilters are givers and helpers, that’s who we are! I thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help!

On a lighter note, we have a terrific Fall session of classes planned for you! Again, my teachers have outdone themselves! Read on to see what’s going on. We are starting two beautiful Block of the Months! Take a class, start a new project, enjoy yourself with friends!

“Allow yourself to be a beginner, no one starts off being excellent ”We look forward to seeing you soon! Thanks again for all your wonderful support! Keep stitchin’,

May Your Bobbins Always Be Full,

Susan

LONE STAR & LONE STAR VARIATIONS

The Lone Star is one of the visually simplest and yet most stunning of traditional quilt patterns. The 8-pointed star is made up of smaller diamonds and creates a visual effect of color and pattern radiating from the center of the star out to its points. Because of their many pieces, these patterns take a little time to master. In addition to classic versions of the Lone Star, there are other fabulous variations to be explored. This class will provide hands-on practice with piecing the Lone Star. We will start with a small star so that students can work through the basic construction techniques. We will then move on to planning and executing a larger version or any one of a number of variations. This is a workshop-style class where the technique will be taught in class and then there will be time for quilters to work with their own machines and materials during class. Don’t miss this unique experience with Sarah!

QUILT ON A CHAIR Jazz up a regular folding chair for a conversation piece at your next party or retreat!

A kit will be provided (payable to the instructor) that includes the chair, staples, screws and glue. You just need to provide the strips! Jelly rolls work well, or use leftovers from another jelly roll project! You can also cut your own strips. Strips can be either 2” or 2.5” in width. You can also mix up the widths for a more whimsical look. You will need about 25-30 strips total. Come join the fun!

Block of the Month

Ladies’ DelightVisit classic and nostalgic blocks from the flapper era of the 1920s!Mrs Cleveland’s Choice, Crossed Canoes and Jack In The Box are just a few of the delightful 10” square blocks that are in this 70” x 80” quilt.

This program is based on Carolyn McCormick’s book, Roaring Through The ‘20s. We followed her exceptional paper-piecing directions to make each fabulous block and that wonderful pieced ribbon border in reproduction fabrics from the 1920s and 1930s.

Each month, you will receive fabrics to make two complete blocks as well as a portion of the pieced ribbon border. You will also receive all the foundation papers necessary for that month. NO MORE wrestling with your book and photocopier!

While you will have enough leftover scraps to use for cornerstones, you will need to provide the sashing and borders (shown in Yellow in the sample) as well as the Binding and Backing fabrics to complete the quilt.

This program begins in November 2017 and runs for 10 months.

Registration is Required. $23.95 Sign Up Fee Includes the First Monthly Kit.

$23.95 Monthly Fee Thereafter.
