Main Street Quilting Company News Feb/March 2021



End of February... I am in constant amazement at how fast time is flying. I know I've said it often enough but where do the days go? There always seems to be a flurry of activity and a long list of things to accomplish. I'm looking forward to sharing what we have had going on here at the store and there are a few fun things coming up that you won't want to miss. Read to the end ;)


Mystery Quilt Class: We've held two Mystery Classes this year so far and both were fun to see the clues all come together. Want to join us for the next mystery? Gwen already has a pattern that she is working with to make into a mystery. Let us know if you want to be on the "call" list when that mystery class is ready to be set up. 406-586-6097 Feel free to leave a voicemail with your name and number! Here's a sort of a photo of what we did in January- still have to keep a mystery you know!



UPCOMING CLASSES AND EVENTS: Here's what's happening. Sign up online or call us to reserve your spot. 406-586-6097 or Class Schedule Link Here

March 10- Free Motion Quilting Class- ONE SPOT LEFT
Join us with your own sewing machine to learn how to free motion quilt! Class fee supplies the foundation on which we will be sewing. Please bring a scrap at least 36" of batting to class and a bright colored thread along with your darning (also called: hopping or free motion) foot and your machine. Don't forget the power cords :)








Foundational Learning Class 101- Quilting Basics: We are nearing the end of our first Quilting Basics Class in 2021. We will be scheduling another 7 week session starting in June. This is a good class for those wanting to learn the basics of quilting. We will be making a 12 block sampler. Sign ups are available now on our website.


Birthday Club 2020-
I heard from some that having sewing to do for the Birthday Club was a great way to pass the quarantine we had last year. What a fun get together we had a few weeks ago. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold weather. You are truly Montanans! It was exciting showing off all our blocks, admiring the handiwork and getting more ideas for next year. I got so excited about my own blocks that I added a few more and finished it that weekend and it's off to the quilter!
 

Birthday Club 2021:
We have two more places available in our second group for the 2021 Birthday Club. Need more details? Call us! 406-586-6097 Need ideas for blocks? We have two great resources... found on our website.

NEW Program: Kimberbell Fill-in-the-Blanks program has started. We have the first quarter blanks in the store and we are currently stitching out samples. This fun program is an easy way to make a fun and easy gift or just to spice up your own decor.

How It Works: Each month there is a new "Blank" for purchase. Each project has a free embroidery design. Don't have an embroidery machine? No Problem! There is also a sewing version of the design available with the "Blank" purchase. The Free Designs will be emailed to you upon purchase of the Blank. Using your own stash and threads you will complete the adorable project in no time! If you need help choosing fabrics or thread colors, we'd love to help!

In Other News...

We are still in a global pandemic (as if we really need to reminded, right?) This fact does, however, impact quite a lot of our world here at the quilt shop (and retail all over): Delayed shipments, unavailable parts, reduced hours, etc. 

Parts for sewing machine repairs are probably the most delayed we've ever seen. I've even had kits from Moda back ordered for 4 months! It's a frustrating situation all around. We appreciate your patience and kindness, especially now.


In our store, we are still social distancing and using our face masks when we are within 6 feet of customers as per the CDC guidelines. We request you use the hand sanitizer located at the front and back doors. Our classroom is closed to the public but will be open only by invitation or registration into a class.  We will also continue with our precautions in regards to the sewing machine repair dept of our store. Please see our Sewing Machine Policy adopted in 2020 (and to continue indefinitely) below to refresh yourself of those guidelines. Thank you!
