Please read the post just below this one to get all the details of the “Sew A Crooked Line” retreat that will take place February 5th - 7th at The Main House.
Alice just finished this great tote bag using her class techniques.
She used the Sheer Overlay technique to enhance the pocket area, while the Dancing Threads can be found on the sides of the tote.
The “Windows” technique showcases a fabric that ties all the colors together.
The class works with small samples to learn the techniques, then you could get started on your own special tote. Next time you are in the shop, be sure and come take a close look at this wonderful bag.
Hope you will make plans to join us February 5th - 7th for a 2 1/2day retreat with Alice Kolb where she will share her knowledge of threads, stitches, and classic techniques.

All you need to do is print this particular blog post and cut out the coupons you want to use. Before you print, just click on the title of this blog and yo will print only this one post.

We had a great time at Quilt Market last weekend. Barbara Quinby, our event manager, went with us to see what instructors we might find to come to The Main House.
Here she is visiting with Susan Cleveland, while checking out her new book…..Precision and Panache. We already have the book in the shop and you will want to stop by and take a look at all the great techniques Susan has written.

We had a wonderful three days when Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably were in town. It started with a lecture that was inspiring, funny, and left all of us ready to begin looking for inspiration in our everyday environment.
For the 27 gals who were fortunate enough to be in the two day class, it was an experience that will inspire them for long time.
There was color everywhere in the studio. Sewing machines weren’t allowed during the day as this class was about design, color, and arrangement. (The machines came out at night to get started sewing what had been planned during the day!!)
It was our pleasure to bring these two inspirational teachers to Kerrville. To see more pictures, visit the Main House website at http://the-main-house.creations-online.com/the-main-house/blog/main-house-blog/kaffee-fasset-and-brandon-mably-main-house-october-9th-11th-2011 .
