Greeting you at the front entrance to the Sampler is a beautiful heart quilt called For The Love designed by Kay M. Capps Cross and made by Polly North . You will also find a great display full of valentine treats ready to stitch up for that special someone. A fun new fabric called Just Desserts arrived in time to make up some tasty nonfattening treats for your sweetheart. Cathy Stiele made up a darling tablerunner using this fabric. It's a must see. My favorite new addition is a fabric called Hot Flash by Free Spirit. This is a crazy fabric with lots of bright, fun colors. I'm excited to see what projects come out of this fabric line.
On another note, our winter class list is out and there are many new classes and events for you to look into, including a Stash Blaster club, Exploring Curved Piecing, Little Charmers Jumper, and Free Motion Feather Machine Quilting to name a few. Also there is still time to join us in the Amazing Sewing Race North America. We have something special planned every month. Check out our website http://www.the-sampler.com/ or stop by the shop for more information. Keep on quilting, Mary
