What's New
We continue to add to our collection of Hoopsisters design collections. Anita Goodesign comes out with new design packs every month so we can stay current. Their newest intro is to project CD's with complete directions for example: purse using Heat & Shrink. Dakota Collectibles just updated the spinner with new product and newly mark downs.
We have Lapel Stick a temporary fix for gaps between buttons and collars that stick up. New patterns are arriving for small projects as well as some larger ones. New fabrics are arriving weekly, some novelties, some batiks, and new wide backings to name a few.
We have a new Husqvarna Viking quilting machine weighing only 15 lbs. We have been asking for this for some time. It is a nice lite weight machine with some great features for an affordable price.
New Events For 2012
We are starting to book events for 2012. In May I have booked a 2 day Embroidery Party with Anita Goodesign company. This will be chocked full of lots of fun, learning, good food and chocolate. Did I mention door prizes and chocolate? An educator will be coming with loads of displays as well as project supplies to create 7 different embroidery projects during the 2 days. They have such a versatile collection of designs; it will be such fun to create them with all the stabilizer and fabric supplied. In addition to learning techniques your will learn what stabilizer is suggested for each different type of project. The event will be held in Cobleskill on May 23 & 24 2012. Put these dates on your calendar so do not miss the fun.
We have also booked a Floriani event for the middle of August. There will be 2 morning sessions and on the 2nd day there will be a training session on software for those who attend. Learn about stabilizers, techniques and more. Always samples to view, always something new, reinforce what you learned in past seminars. Bring your questions, receive special pricing and have fun. Every year the presentation is different, with new products introduced to make your embroidery work easier.

Hoopsisters Embroida-Block for 2012
The new embroidablock for 2012 by Hoopsisters is called "Earth to Quilters" which has several small projects such as a handbag and laptop bag are part of next years' projects. It looks very different from embroidablocks from past years. There will be an optional border CD available again this year. Plans are to start either April or May and meet every other month for 4 months. If you have a preference as to when to start and whether you would prefer to meet every other month or every month, please let me know. I will have more information soon.
Collecting Quilts for Flood Victims
We have been collecting quilts for the victims of the flooding from Irene and Lee. The Yardstick would like to have those interested in creating quilts for those in need to come together and make as many as we are able. Collect your orphan blocks left from finished projects, extra strips, squares and triangles that need a home. Scrap quilts can be very attractive combined with like color families. Fridays are free until the end of the year. Let us know if this is something you would like to participate in. It is a great way to meet fellow quilters.
