Gathering Again

I love the new year.  Not only do I start off a fresh calendar (filled with kittens, of course!), but I also use this time to reflect on my goals and where I want to improve.

I truly love sewing with our Urban Spools Community, so naturally, I have sewing goals! For me, I spent 2022 learning quilting in the hoop techniques on quilts, bags, and garments. For 2023, I am shifting my focus to sergers and how to get the most of it on all the projects we work on at Urban Spools.

Our shop also has a big sewing goal this year! We are focused on rebuilding Community in our shop. We have several new Block of the Month programs with in-person Kick-Off Parties. And, we're getting back to in-person Clubhouse Meetings, beginning this Saturday, January 28 and on the 4th Saturday of every month at 10 am.  We are sew excited to gather again with our Community who shares our passion for the Art of Sewing.

As you work on your sewing goals for 2023, we hope it includes Urban Spools - whether you join our Clubhouse meetings or participate in Block of the Month. Here are the current programs we have available with either a pre-pay or subscription payment option. You can view details and register on our website: https://www.urbanspools.com/shop/Block-of-the-Month.htm

Happy New Year!
Stefanie

New Fabric Arrival

Hometown by Tilda Fabrics: Inspired by smalltown life, Hometown celebrates springtime gardens and gathering with friends in the newest Tilda collection.  The vivid green, plum and rust-colored prints showcase idyllic houses and miniature floral landscapes.  The "Eden" print has been especially popular in the shop this week.  Plus, a new arrival of colorful chambrays accompany the collection. 

Upcoming Events

Potholder of the Month Club: We're just a month away from the launch of our newest BOM program.  Over the next 6 months, we're making 6 sets of unique potholders to keep or give as gifts.  Participants will receive a pattern and fabric for a different pair each month. Mark your calendars for our Kick-Off Party on Saturday, February 25 at 3 pm at Urban Spools.  Register for the program and get all the details here!

Tips from our Team

From our Longarm Quilter, Cathy: I enjoy free-motion quilting on my domestic machine and longarm at home. If you've ever been interested in free-motion, you may be intimidated about where to begin. I invested in a small dry erase board and use it when I sit and watch TV.  I doodle designs and can erase the mistakes and redraw. It's all about the brain and muscle memory to provide a smooth motion.
