Just Announced...
Hello to all our quilting friends! It has been a long 6 months! Back in March we thought we would surely see you all again before the year was over, but as we wind into Fall it seems that we won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
After much careful consideration we have decided to postpone our 2021 Lancaster Show until June 2-5. We obviously can't predict what the future holds, but we feel better about scheduling our show farther into the summer next year instead of our usual March dates. Hopefully we can move back into the Spring in 2022.
We are going to hold off on announcing any classes or having any signups for classes until we feel more confident that the show will proceed in June.
In the mean time, links to our vendors websites are still up at www.thelancasterquiltshow.com - please continue to shop and support our small businesses. Stay safe! Stay quilting! -Cindy & Aasta
2021 Calendars are beginning to arrive. The first two are for Cross Stitchers, featuring 12 months of biscornus, and for Crazy Quilters. Great gift ideas! ππβ€οΈ

Celebrate your inner artist with this collection from Carrie Bloomston for Windham Fabrics. βFor Color Theory, I knew I wanted to share my passion for the language of color. As an art teacher, I wanted to bring in the creative joy of my middle school art classroom. I hand painted the palette and cut out odd bits of those papers, glued them down to a larger piece of paper, and scribbled the name for each color next to it. Windham used those swatches to digitally create my palettes. The collection feels funky, fresh, edgy, and cool to me.β π§πΌβπ¨ππ¨
Take a class with Marcia Derse as she teaches us all about Art History 101! Featuring her hand dyed and hand stamped technique, this comes in a 2-yard cut that pairs beautifully with Windhamβs Palette Collection. Whatever you make with this fabric will earn an A+! π§πΌβπ¨πΌπ

January is National Hobby Month, the perfect time of year to pick up a new hobby, or get back into an old one that you havenβt thought about in a while! The great thing about having a hobby is that it can take your mind off the pressure of work or other daily stresses. Sit down and think about what you really love to do. What are you passionate about in life? What sparks your interest the most? What are you curious about? What are your goals? Finding a good hobby and giving yourself time to take part in it on a daily or weekly basis is sure to make you happier, and maybe even healthier. π§΅π§ΆπππΊπ¨πΌππ
