    ARRIVAL OF THE ACCUQUILT GO!

    March 9th, 2010

    AccuQuilt GoThe AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter is a lightweight, portable fabric cutter quilters can transport easily to classes, guild meetings, retreats and quilting bees. Its design was inspired by the ideas and suggestions of quilters throughout the world and features an easy-lift handle, comfortable roller handle grip, magnetic seal and a neutral, light-colored work surface. Fabric cutting dies for the AccuQuilt GO! are light and made exclusively to ft the portable GO!fabric cutter. Designed for time-saving accuracy, these dies ensure all cuts are quick and precise so your shapes piece together perfectly every time. A GO!

    My friend, neighbor and co-worker Jan and I bought the AccuQuilt about a month ago. We have been experimenting with the different templates.  Jan just loves the 2 1/2″ Strip cutter for borders and binding. She continues to comment on how straight her borders are now.

    I started with the cutting die that has three different shapes on it.  I designed a table runner using the 2 1/2″ Square ; 2″ Finished Half Square Triangle.  I love the exactness of this product.  Cutting half square triangles was never my strength and they would bob and weave all over my quilt.  But with the AccuQuilt, I did not have that problem.

    I have only loaded 15 of the MANY dies that the AccuQuilt uses on the web tonight.  Look for the rest of them on the web in the next week or so.  If you are going to order some dies, and want other ones not listed, just include a note in the comments section of your checkout form and we will have it for you so you can save on postage. You can check out all the dies that Accuquilt offers at The AccuQuilt Website.

    Before to long, we will be offering to cut your fabric with the new AccuQuilt and hope to be able to set up a rental option for you at the shop. I will be doing several demo’s at the shop on the AccuQuilt in April so check the class schedule and drop by the shop to test it out!

    Happy Day!

    ONE MILLION PILLOWCASE CHALLENGE

    January 21st, 2010

    Pillowcase Challenge Logo

    American Patchwork & Quilting® magazine is challenging quilters, crafters and sewers across the country to Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference. Local quilting enthusiasts will join the cause to help reach the goal of making and donating one million pillowcases to benefit local charities. Every pillowcase can make a difference in our community. A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, encouragement for a battered woman, or beauty for a nursing home resident.

    Heart To Hand, will be hosting events locally at 412 Beavercreek Road, Suite 607, Oregon City, OR 97045 (located in the Red Soils Business Park). We are also hosting opportunities on our web site.

    Throughout 2010, quilters, crafters and sewers across the nation will make pillowcases at their local quilt shops. The shops will then collect the pillowcases and donate them to a local charity of their choice. A counter will track nationwide progress toward the goal of one million pillowcases.

    As the owner of Heart To Hand I see the One Million Pillowcase Challenge as a way to give back to the local community. “We have worked locally with the Passages Quilt Program and Emanuel Children Hospital, Oregon Food Bank as well as making over 50 quilts that were auctioned off for Breast Cancer awareness. I am glad to be able to help our customers serve the community in yet another way. Pillowcase Challenge

    We will be hosting pillowcase events locally and on-line. How you can participate:
    1. Donate 100% Cotton Fabric in 1 yard increments to the shop to be made into pillowcases.

    Questions and Answers!

    October 24th, 2009

    I received a great note from Sharon tonight.  She posed some good questions so I thought I would post it on the blog, because I am sure many of you have similar questions.

    NOTE FROM SHARON:

    Hi Weeble,
    Love your postings. You have a definite flair for words, and you are a stunning canine besides. I am a first time Lotto Block of the Month participant. It has been great fun to make my blocks, but now that I am ready to send them to Mom, I have a question. The instructions state “attach your name and address to the back of the block”. Do I use scotch tape, pins, glue stick? All choices seem to be potential dangers to the sewn block, plus pins would be a hazard to the automatic postal machines….What do most people do?
    How is the drawing conducted? Are the blocks laid out so that you can put your paw on the winner(s)? Are the papers with the names put in a bowl so you can daintily point out the winner with your tongue? If it is the latter, I might cheat a little and put a little cheese flavor on my entry. We have a lovely little next door neighbor of your breed, Maggie, and she is a sucker for cheese!
    Please let me know the best way to send my blocks.
    Hugs and kisses,
    Sharon
    ANSWER FOR SHARON
    Hi Sharon,
    Thanks for your nice note!  I so appreciate your feedback!
    Weeble is crashed out in her bed, we were at the shop all day, and so I thought I would respond to your questions.
    Do I use scotch tape, pins, glue stick? Most people attach a sticky address label to the back of the block.  We take them off before we mail them to the winners.  Some people use scotch tape and some people DO use pins.  Some people use a little post-it note too.
    Are the blocks laid out so that you can put your paw on the winner(s)? HAHA! This is a good one.  especially the cheese flavored entry!!! We hang all the blocks as they arrive on a long string of picture wire across the front of the store, attached with little clothes pins.  They are on display until the drawing.  Then we take them down and mix the blocks us in a bag and draw the winners. Most
    Please let me know the best way to send my blocks. Most people fold them up in a little Ziploc bag, and send them in a standard envelope.
    Thanks again for your great note, you too my dear have a flair for words.
    Thanks for asking.  Do let us know if you have any more questions.
    Happy Day!
    Wendy and Weeble

    Pumpkin Party

    Sure, it is still September, but now is the time to get your Fall and Halloween decorations sewn up for next month.  Here are a couple of options for you!

    A great show and tell from Drusilla Fox.  She is a member of our All Through the Year Small Quilts Club.  She sent me some wonderful pictures and I just had to share this one with you!  

    Drusilla writes: “Thank you- I added an extra pumpkin as I needed a bigger piece of fabric. I used a fusion from Robert Kaufman. My batting was a  cotton low loft from Mountain mist. I can’t wait for the October kit!!”  You sure did a wonderful job Drusilla.

    You too can join the Small Quilts Club or simply buy this fun pattern.  The choice is yours!
    SpideyHere is another wonderful pattern or kit.  Spidey, he’s a quilt as you go table topper or wall hanging designed by Silk Road Creations.  He is VERY easy and you can finish him in just a couple of hours!
    Send us your photos for more show and tell!
    Happy Day!

Just bring in your sewing machine and tools along with a “Fabric Cinnamon Roll”. The size of the Fabric Cinnamon Rolls will depend on whether you are making a table runner or a king size quilt.

    The staff at Heart to Hand is available during normal shop hours if you need assistance selecting fabrics for your Fabric Cinnamon Roll.

    This picture is of the Eggs Benedict 30″ x 35″ table topper.  The great thing about this project is you use 2 1/2″ strips and can make 4 place mats, a table topper, A wall quilt, a lap quilt, a full/queen or a king all from the same pattern that we give you. So pick your project and come join us this Saturday.

    Sharyle has an out of town engagement, and so Beth and I will be team teaching this class.  Sharyle will return in June to teach Grannies Granola.  June 13th.
