What's New This Week at Delphine's

New fabric continues to arrive at the shop - first up is this pretty collection from Clothworks called "Adrienne" -

  

We'll be making these fabrics into a sample and then some kits.  It's a nice size and very pretty, don't you think?

Perhaps you've been in the store to see Delphine's bead encrusted ornament.  We have the fabric (it's attached to a styrofoam ball first) and bead kits to adorn this beauty.

We've also have these gorgeous, saturated color muslins...very pretty in the picture but much prettier in person!

These fabrics are from a new line from Japan called European Taupe VII- so soft and rich -

We needed to add more shelves to our "Christmas Nook"...let's see what 's there...Oh, I see Dr. Seuss fabric and dancing snowmen!

  

And these fabrics coordinate to create the charming quilt seen hanging on the hook - good for all winter and not just Christmas!

Come back to the blog soon to see what else is new.  Oh, I almost forgot, here is a picture of Judy's Strip Tube quilt ready to be sandwiched and quilted.  The quilt will be named "Diamonds are Forever".  There will be a class in August to create one for yourself.

Happy sewing,

Judy

Judy's Strip Tube Quilt Class

The students in Judy's class met to learn the "strip tube" technique and began sewing the blocks for their quilts.  The pattern booklet is called "Strip Tubing" by Daniela Stout and Georgette Dell'Orco and is available at the shop along with the recommended ruler.  Two weeks later they met again to help each other arrange their blocks and to choose border fabrics.  Most students chose the "Just Too Easy" pattern but Madeline chose "Freestyle Roman Stripes".  (Madeline's grandson is graduating from high school and going on to college on a golf scholarship.  Theoff-white triangles will be used for signatures from his buddies - a great memory quilt.)  The method for all the patterns in the book are the same, just the width and number of strips used to create each block changes.  We had 2 design "walls" to work with as well as all the tables.  It was so much easier than doing it at home and so much more fun!!

If you'd like to join in the fun, sign up for the next class being held on Tuesday, August 12 from 10 until 2:30.  This isn't a good day for you?  Call the shop to see if the class can be rescheduled at a more convenient time.

Happy Sewing,
