Give yourself a treat this week even if you need to buy your own box of favorite chocolates!
Whenever we discuss the day at the end of a quilt show or class we are always refering to our customers as "Sweethearts", so if you are ever in doubt if you are one...and you were visiting with us at Crooked Nickel Quilts, we called you a sweetheart!
What a wonderful network of quilters we surround ourselves with! Thank You

I am sponsoring my first quilt show this weekend and it just happens to be on Valentine's Day. It is being held at the Ursuline Retreat and Conference Centre in Great Falls, MT, 11am-4pm. I am also donating one of my Queen Size quilts "Point Taken" done in Willowberry Winter Whites. Raffle tickets are $5.00 ea, or 5 for $20.00. All the money will go to the fundraiser for the PBS Transmitter Tower for Great Falls so that PBS will be a local channel, not just for cable purchase.

I also just had shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff and a frayed biscep muscle. All went very well and will start PT this next week. Therefore I have decided to teach here in MT this winter and spring. I will give you the answer now to all the questions that lead up to the decisions as to whether or not to take the class and what is involved.

Class Sign-up questions::
How much does it cost?
$45.00
How long is the class?
Usually 9am-4pm, I ask you to bring a sack lunch.
What supplies do I need to bring?
You need to bring an iron, if yours is 1400 watts that is the best, your sewing machine and general sewing supplies,(thread, pins, needles, tape measure, etc.)
What do I need to purchase?
Must have: Crooked Nickel Quilt Pattern, ($10.00) I allow any pattern at class except the queen size quilts.
                    On Point fusible grid according to yardage on the pattern($4.50 yard)
                     Applique Pressing Sheet  ($21.00),flexible sheet of teflon for ironing on the fusible grid
Project Fabric:
                    The fabric for your  project must be pre-cut to move the class schedule moving at a good pace.
Bonus:
             If you purchase one of our quilt kits, you will get the pattern, fusible grid and pre-cut fabrics. The only extra purchase will be the applique pressing sheet and you are ready for class.
Check out the shopping page to see what kits we have available to make your life simple.

I certainly hope that if you are in the neighborhood you sign up for a class, you  will have a very good time and finish or get very close to finishing your project.

Thank you to all you Sweethearts.
