Our new website is up!

Our new website is up and running! Not all of our products are on there yet, but they will be soon. The class schedule and the blog is also incorporated right into the site. That means that I will no longer be using this site to post news about the Shoppe. Visit the website (www.theoldeworldquiltshoppe.com) for everything related to the Shoppe from now on. Thank you so much to the very awesome and talented Jake Plains for designing and creating our new site. We love it!

Sunday Best

Jo Morton's new line, Sunday Best, has arrived! We are so excited about this collection. It is fifteen bolts of light fabrics that would be great for backgrounds. We've been low on these colors for awhile now, so they are a breath of fresh air! Here's a sample:

We've already cut fat quarters and fat quarter packs, so don't wait because these will go quick!

Until next time...

We're Still Here

As some of you may have noticed, our website has been down for over a week now. The previous “hosts” of our site have been unresponsive, so we are in the process of creating a whole new site. We hope this is completed in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Shoppe, including classes, please don’t hesitate to stop in, call or email. Check out this blog for the latest news. Thank you for your patience! We look forward to seeing you soon!!

Until next time...

Jo Morton's 'Prairie Flowers Encore' Block of the Month

Come join us for our newest BLOCK of the MONTH, Prairie Flowers Encore, by Jo Morton. This will be an 8 month program with monthly classes taught by AQG Hall of Famer, Sue Maitre. Sue will guide you through this project and teach you her award winning applique technique along the way.

Civil War Half Square Triangle Exchange

Be sure to join the Civil War Half Square Triangle Exchange!!

Do you love scrappy half square triangle designs? Come join the fun learning an easy way to make 28 half square triangles at once. The fun continues when you return your triangles to the Shoppe. Once you've sewn your 28 half square triangles, you will keep one, then bundle the remaining 27 and drop them off at or mail them to the Shoppe. You have until April to sew your desired number of half square triangles. For every bundle of 27 half square triangles you bring in, you will receive an equal number of assorted half square triangles - just perfect to execute the gorgeous designs featured in 'Friendship Triangles,' by Edyta Sitar.
 All roll-ups will feature Civil War reproduction fabrics so your triangles will coordinate fabulously! We will help you figure out how many roll-ups you need for your desired project(s).

You don't have to live in the valley to join the exchange! You can participate by mail. Small shipping fees will apply. We will have a Civil War Half Square Triangle Exchange LAUNCH PARTY on Saturday, February 18th. Come meet Alice and your fellow club members while enjoying snacks and refreshments, pick up your first set of roll-ups and learn the technique you will be using to make 28 half square triangles at once. 

Until next time...

Thanks Darlene!

A very nice, very talented friend of ours, Darlene, over at Quilting Daze, made two adorable pillow covers using a pattern from another one of our very nice, very talented friends, Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Ours are made out of Sweetwater's 'Countdown to Christmas' line. Thanks so much Darlene!! We LOVE them :-)

Until next time...

Finally!!

After months of waiting, Jo Morton's new line, 'Jo's Variety,' has finally arrived! The Andover warehouse was flooded this summer during the hurricane that hit the east coast, so we haven't received any Jo fabric in a few months. It's been a looooong few months! The wait is over though! This new line is full of beautiful reds, but not your usual Jo Morton red. It's more of a red red instead of a rusty red. They're great! Here's a sample:

We've already had die hard Jo fans scrambling to get their hands on these, so hurry in before they're all gone!

Until next time...

2 New Arrivals!

We've had two new arrivals here at the Shoppe!

First, the winter edition of the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine was delivered. It's full of great projects by lots of talented designers! These sell fast so hurry in!

Second, the kit for these adorable 9" stockings from Primitive Gatherings came yesterday.

Alice made them and they are hanging in the Shoppe so come in and see them. They are too cute to miss!

Until next time...

Lots of New Fabrics!!

Lots of great new fabrics arrived at the Shoppe last week! Lisa Bonjean's beautiful Wool Needle Flannels, Sandy Gervais' fabulous Late Bloomers and luscious new wools are now available! Here's a sample:

Fall?

It's still 90 degrees outside, but it's beginning to feel a lot like fall here at the Shoppe! Renee Nanneman's new homespuns, Pumpkin Patch Plaids, just arrived and they are beautiful!

We even put together some cute fat quarter packs:

Renee's new wool also came in! :-) Once it's been felted and torn, it will be available in the Shoppe.

Until next time...

Farmer's Wife Club

It's that time of year again! The snowbirds are coming back and our clubs are starting back up :-) First up - Farmer's Wife.

This is an ongoing club based on Laurie Hird’s book, The Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt. The book has 111 traditional 6” blocks inspired by letters from 1920’s farm wives who responded to the 1922 Farmer’s Wife magazine contest. The CD provides template patterns, but no instructions on how to piece the blocks together. We've solved that problem for you!

Here’s how the club works:

Length: This club is ongoing. It will start the 1^st Friday in February and run through May. It will pick back up again in October and run until the next May. You may join in at any time. There is no guarantee that instruction will be repeated, but the patterns will always be available.

Cost: There is a $30 registration fee and the book is required.   Each month you will be required to purchase a ‘helper packet’ of fabric @$16.95 and pay a nominal fee of $5 for the directions for cutting and piecing the blocks for a total monthly cost of $21.95. The first month, the ‘helper packet’ will be $21.95.

  The club starts up again on Friday, October 28th, so sign up soon!

Until next time...
