It's September 15th.. Red Quilt Club Begins..

It's time.. Red Quilt  Club Members.  Septembers Quilt patterns will not disappoint.  The full sized quilt is called Love Letters.. The pattern is a slight modification of the traditional "Letter L Block"  It's easy to piece and also provides, those who love to add  Machine Embroidery at every chance.. room to do just that.

Here is what the basic Red Quilt for September is all about.  First instructions and patterns for the full sized quilt, and the  31 1/2 " wall quilt called Hearts All Around..  The hearts in the embroidery design replace the normal flowers that are typically shown in the traditional pattern.  

Heyde customers.. in your Red Quilt Folder this month YOU Get:  All the patterns above.. plus.

• Free Pes files for  a large and small butterfly.  
• 2 sizes of the Hearts All Around Embroidery Pes files  so you can do these designs by machine.  The large "Hearts All Around" pes requires the large hoop, the small one can be sewn out on the 5 x7 hoop.  

Our colors might be a bit Bright, but we think perfect for a veranda lap quilt on a crisp fall day. 
SO.. put your zip drive in your purse.. and come on in to the store to see the September samples, and browse a bit at the new fabrics/patterns just in, while we download this months RED QUILT SEPTEMBER FOLDER for you..   Red Quilt Club runs for 10 days, from the 15th til the 25th of each month. 
We love doing extra things for you, and we truly appreciate your business.

Vintage Garden BOM Club begins !

Here is a project that many Heyde friends have been waiting to begin. It's Vintage Garden by Jenny Haskins..

This block of the month club begins on Tuesday September 20th.. The Morning Club Meeting meets at 11:00 .. the Happy Hour Club gathers at 5:00pm


The Morning Club will be led by Carla. She has sewn this Jenny Haskins beauty using the Book instructions and patterns. If you attend the morning class of Vintage Garden with Carla your machine to accomplish the Club/Class will be the Duetta 4500, Laura Ashley, Quattro, Quattro 2. 

Isn't it a beauty.. Of course the photo does not do the quilt justice. The soft coral hues and sea foams are simply stunning. Well we won't digress.. you need to come in and look for yourself.. 


If it's your choice to attend the Happy Hour Club/Class at 5:00pm of Vintage Garden.. your Project Guides.. will be Susan and Karen. This class will be instructed with Susan's PE Magic..  For those of you that have been through the "Latte" you know how helpful (at times lifesaving) SPM (Susan's PE Magic) can be.  To the point.. you will have to have a Quattro.. with the camera action to follow along with the Vintage Garden Happy Hour 5:00pm Class/Club.
Which ever class/club time you choose.. we will help you enjoy your accomplishment of this beautiful project over the next 12 months. Call a friend to join you and make the 3rd Tuesday of each month a date to create a Vintage Garden! Block of the Months are a wonderful friendship sewing activity.

Are you Needle-ing your Brother Correctly?

The topic of today's blog post is needles?  How often should we change needles?  What size needles should we be using for any given project?

Recently the sew 4 home blog had an interesting blog post on needles.. Click here to give it a view. 

But we also found this very interesting Guide (clickhere) from Schmetz that is the most informative brochure about sewing machine needles. You can save this brochure to your computer or print it out. 


Often times when we have stitch problems.. you might look to the needle first to solve the issue...
