Spring brings National Quilting Day!

Saturday, March 21, 2015, is National Quilting Day! 

What if...there was a completely spontaneous  Flash Mob Parade in downtown Sedro-Woolley to celebrate the day?? 

What if a bunch of quilters and quilt-appreciators met at the iron horse in the municipal parking lot at the south end of Metcalf Street, about -say - 11:00 a.m., and paraded up the sidewalk through the main business district? 

What if they all carried quilts and wished bystanders and shoppers a Happy National Quilting Day? 

Let's find out if that happens!

Susan Purney Mark class March 14-15, 2015!

What a great, CREATIVE weekend with Susan Purney Mark!  Thanks to those who came and put their whole creative beings into the Dragon Bones process!  We learned a lot about design and color, and we all started great quilts.  I think one person, who was making a wall hanging, actually finished hers!

Here are only a FEW photos of the fun we had.  Are you a Woolley Fiber Quilter?  Join us!

 

Blast of Farms - a quilt show and a raffle quilt!

You know that our quilt show, Blast of Farms is coming up June 5-6-7.  But remember that our current raffle quilt, "Blast of Freedom", will find a winner on Saturday, June 6th!  That's when our ticket drawing will be and you will want to be sure that your name is on a ticket in that barrel! 

Look at this!

Blast of Farms artwork!

We are so excited to reveal our 2015 artwork by Gary Daum.  He really captures the fun and freshness of quilting!  This image will appear on our posters and other publicity.  Look carefully because there is so much to enjoy!

Thanks to Skagit County Farms and Farmers for the inspiration!

Woolley Fiber Quilters Winter Escape - Seahawks win!

During our 3.5 day quilting retreat we were able to cheer the Seattle Seahawks on to a glorious win! 

Next stop, Superbowl!

A lot of quilting was accomplished this weekend with more to come.  Lovely quilt tops were produced and admired, ideas exchanged, inspiration shared! 

Here is a photo of a few of the 12th Quilters celebrating the Seahawks!  Note the screen behind us!
