The summer is coming to an end and I am now in the sewing mode again.  As the nights cool off even my youngest son realizes the need for something  warm to cuddle up in.  Now we are making “his” quilt and he is definitely my son with as much patience to see the end product as I have.

The summer flew by without me even noticing.  Thanks to all of you it was busy in the shop all summer which means I didn’t get much sewing done.  I am in full swing now and boy do I love being in front of my Janome.  It was extra special to spend time with those of you that came for breakfast on Thursdays.  After breakfast I felt inspired, motivated and refreshed.  This has left me feeling extra pumped for our new Breakfast Club.

Some of the new product arriving in the shop is creating quite interesting conversations.  You will need to drop by and see what all the excitement is about.

I would also like to share with you some excitement among my friends.  Quilter’s Cupboard in Uxbridge will be featured in September’s Quilt Sampler magazine as a top 10 shop.  The quilt design is stunning and they are taking pre-orders for the quilt kit so stop by and have a sneak peak.

At Country Quarter we like to be part of the community and do as much as possible were there is a need.

 

This thinking has encouraged us to take part in the Million Pillowcase Challange.  All pillowcases donated to Country Quarter will be forwarded to Interval House to brighten up the day of those who receive them.

 

The Million Pillowcase Challange sew day will take place Friday July 30.  Bring your machines and fabric, or purchase the fabric or kits here, and sew, sew, sew.  The families at Interval House will be very grateful for the beautiful gifts and signs of a caring community.

 

make a pillowcase
make a difference

Calling all quilters, sewers and crafters! American Patchwork & Quilting is challenging you to join our efforts to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Every pillowcase can make a difference in your community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident.

To participate, Country Quarter is a hosting One Million Pillowcase Challenge event in our area. Once your pillowcases are complete and donated locally, log on below to enter how many pillowcases you made. Help us reach our goal of ONE MILLION Pillowcases.

MS is a neurological disease of the central nervous system that affects an estimated 55,000-75,000 Canadians. Prevalence rates range from one MS case per 500 people to one in 1,000 across the country.  Finding a cure for MS and helping those with MS is a personal mission for me as I have a family member with MS.  To help in a way that I know we are capable of, Country Quarter is collecting t-sirts from local businesses and families with logos, team names and/or numbers in order to create a t-shirt quilt to donate to MS.  This project will take the assistance and involvement of the entire community to complete.

T-shirt will be collected until August 25 and the t-shirt quilt design day will be August 27.  Please join us in collecting t-shirts and bring your creativity with you on August 27 to help make this quilt for a good cause. 

This is a good opportunity to give to charity doing something you love.  Get together with other quilters, experienced and beginner all welcome and have  a lot of fun.
