You’re never too old for a sock monkey!  Come join us on Sunday at the Scarlet Thread in Webster and make a sock monkey.  I’ll have kits with the socks or you can bring your own pair of socks (they don’t have to be the Red Heel Socks).   We’ll have brunch as always, although we’ll be starting an hour later (12:30 – 4:30pm).  This is a fun, mostly hand stitched project, that makes a great gift for young and old alike.  Caffeinated Crafters is a group of creative women who have been meeting for the last year and a half making trendy projects like Japanese Wagashi wine charms and handballs, market totes and hobo purses, barrister’s aprons, tote bags from vinyl covered record albums, felted pincushions from recycled sweaters, quilted eyeglass cases and luggage tags.  We meet once a month on Sundays for caffeine and creative crafting.  Come join us.  Just email me at qwm@rochester.rr.com or call me to sign up and get a supply list.  The class is only $25.

S.A.B.L.E. Club - Feb. 2010

Stop by for a glass of wine and some snacks and see what’s new at Quilting with Margaret from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, February 4, for an Open House & Class Sale at my home (28 Grassmere Park).  I’ll have samples from my classes at all of the locations where I’ll be teaching this winter and spring.  Sign up for three classes and get the third lesser-priced class for 25% off.  There’s also a special on some of my new “series classes.”  If you sign up for the entire series, you will get a reduced rate.  In the BAG LADY series we will make a different purse/bag each month.  In the MARATHON RUNNER series, we will make a different runner each month.  And in the  S.A.B.L.E. CLUB (Stash Amassed Beyond Life Expectancy) we will make a different quilt each month to use up some of that stash that seems to multiply as we quilt.  There are also several new classes and lots of old favorites.

You can now read or print a copy of the newsletter with class descriptions and sample photos, if you go to the Newsletter section of this website and click on the pdf files.  To see a current class list with times and locations, go to the Upcoming Classes section of this website.  If you click on the class title, you can see a photo of the class sample.  To enlarge pictures, simply click on them.  Check out the site and let me know what you think.  I plan to do regular blog entries to keep you posted on what’s new at Quilting with Margaret and to share other quilting information with you.

French Braid Class, March 30 - April 6, 5:30 - 8 pm

Welcome to my new website! You’re looking at a photo of my French Braid quilt for a class I will be teaching at Jackie Lynn’s this winter.  It’s an easy quilt to make, similar to a half-log cabin, that can really show off a collection of fabrics. You can sign up for this class and others this Saturday, January 16, at the Classes on Parade at Jackie Lynn’s.  I’ll be there from 10am-3pm to answer your questions. Door prizes and class specials will also be a part of this day.

Now you can check my blogs regularly to see the latest news regarding my classes, retreats and events.  Also, I will share other information regarding quilting like quilting tips, local events, links and other fun things.  My classes this winter will be starting in February.  On February 4, from 4-7pm I will be doing a class sale and sign up at my home (28 Grassmere Park, in Charlotte) for classes at all of the locations where I teach. Stop by on the way home from work for a glass of wine and to see the samples and sign up for a class this winter.

The newsletter, just like the one mailed out in the fall and winter, will be available on this site in a pdf format for you to download and print if you like…in color. I’m still working on the 2010 Winter issue so check back for that. There will still be the quilt gallery, so you can view your finished quilts and those of your classmates. It will eventually be in a slide show format, like a mini-quilt show.

So, browse through the new site as it’s emerging, and let me know what you think so far!

Happy Quilting,
Margaret
