A special gift for Cascade Fabrics!

Some rascally members of our local quilting community - Quilters by the River, Woolley Fiber Quilters, and others - got together to plan a surprise for Bobi Kelley and Cascade Fabrics!  A set of carefully collected, gently used secretarial chairs were delivered on Friday, April 17th, for use in the Cascade Fabrics classroom! 

Of course, it was a surprise!  That makes it all the more fun.  Bobi was truly surprised and a little overwhelmed.  Then the chairs came marching in!

 

Thanks to the people who spearheaded this project -

you know who you are - and thanks to Bobi for having

a special place in Sedro-Woolley where quilters

are always made so welcome!

 

Stop in at Cascade Fabrics and say hello!

 

 

 

Sneak preview - 2016 raffle quilt!

We have the blocks and we have a plan!  Here is a sneak preview of our 2016 raffle quilt, which will be unveiled on June 6, 2015.  Come to Blast of Farms and experience the big reveal!

2015 National Quilting Day Flash Mob Parade in Sedro-Woolley! (completely spontaneous)

We did it!  Once again!  And on a day when squalls were marching over Sedro-Woolley all day long.  Lucky for us, downtown Sedro-Woolley's shopping walkways are mostly covered!  And quilts are washable. 

Our attendance was down a bit from past years, due to the rain wusses in our quilting community.  But we had a great time and once again represented National Quilting Day and reminded everyone of our "Blast of Farms" quilt show, June 5-6-7!

Instead of starting at the Iron Horse in the municipal parking lot, our starting point was under the covered sidewalk in front of the Stiles Law Office.  And our ending point, as always, was at Cascade Fabrics!  We spent a little time shopping at Simply Silver and More...

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!
