What's Happening

 The 31st Annual WWIB/Sew Complete "Warmth from Wisconsin" Quilt Contest quilts are now packed up and on their way to their final owners.

They are being distributed to Youth With a Mission  and Apple Pregnancy Center, Inc., in Eau Claire.  Youth With a Mission missionaries are currently working with the homeless population in San Antonio, TX, and Apple Pregnancy Center is working locally with new Mothers and families.

Congratulations to Kay Weinzirl, who took first place on the bed size quilt and is also the Grand prize winner. Alice Weickelt took second place and Norma Klotz third place in the bed size category. Janice Bates took first and third place for the crib size quilts and Sue Kulig took second place for a crib size quilt. Thirty quilts were entered and donated this year--a record!  Thank you to all who participated!

We have created this reversible table runner on our serger.  We hope you find time to try it and send pictures if you do!

If you prefer a sewing machine runner, the following is the reversible runner we made at Izzy's birthday party 2 years ago.

When we can start up our regular classes again, the reversible Izzy runner will be offered in "Beyond the Basics", and the serger runner can be made in our "Serger Fun Club".

Class Spotlight
The featured Class is Beyond the Qube-An AccuQuilt Quilt Series.  This is a great place to expand your serger skills using a variety of serger techniques and oftentimes decorative thread.  Everyone chooses their own project each time, and we help each person as needed with thread choices, techniques and tension.
