Featherweight Sewciety Saturday

Cute. Petite. Lightweight. Classy. Black, white, or colorful. The Energizer Bunny of sewing machines… The Fabulous Featherweights! Join us as we gather each month to celebrate this marvel of American History. Bring your vintage Singer, Kenmore, Bel-air, whatever little lovely you have! 

This is an open sew day on the 4th Saturday of each month from 10:30 - 1:30 p.m. You can join us to sew for $5 each month. You're welcome to sit and sew whatever project you'd like with your little gem of a machine, or we hope you'll join us for our new Sew Along quilt project! 


    

ROCK THE BLOCK
Secret Sew Along Sampler:

Maybe you’ve seen the most recent publication by Lady Needledown's Newsletter. She's the anonymous author of the local gossip-filled newsletter publication. Somehow, she always seems to know everyone's business, especially ours. We suspect she's a local quilter, and someone who spends a lot of time here at the shop. She’s spilling tea again and sharing secrets! I'll confess, it’s all true… Cotton Hearts Quilt Shop has a new subscription called Rock the Block! This year our Rock the Block series is a mystery quilt, but we’ve taken some of the mystery out by allowing quilters to select their own fabric collection. This is What’s Sewing On here at Cotton Hearts:

1. Come to the August 23rd Featherweight Sewciety at 10:30 for a Sit & Sew!

2. Learn about our SECRET SAMPLER QUILT and join the fun!

3. Pick from several curated colorways. 

4. Receive your 1st Rock the Block Fabric Subscription Packet, and Rock The Block cutting instructions.

5. Treat and cut your fabric, and make your first block! Take along your next packet to prepare and cut your pieces to bring back for the September Featherweight Sewciety meeting!

6. Return on September 27th, ready to sew your 2nd block! (Or maybe 2 blocks, I'd tell you, but it's a secret! I hope Lady Needledown doesn't spoil the surprise!) 

7. Sew Along with guidance, tips and tricks, trying new techniques, and learn new skills. You'll get to try new tools and meet Guest teachers along the way!

8.) Receive monthly Lady Needledown Sewciety Periodicals and Hints!

9.) Continue with your Block of the Month Secret Sampler Quilt for 12 months.

10.) Add unique Bonus Blocks if you desire a larger quilt.

11. Build a beautiful 70"x90" sampler quilt, month by month.

12) Swap class days on the calendar that work for your schedule that month, followed up by free sit & sew days.

13.) Hang out with old friends and meet new like-minded, quilty, friends along the way! Laugh and have fun sharing your hobby!

14.) Gather with all the participants for a catered Show & Tell, sharing all the quilts made using the exact same Secret Quilt Pattern, but different fabrics!
