With a one-hour prep demo two weeks before the five-hour tote class, you'll have time to prepare your grid panels ahead and work on sewing your tote in class. The prep demo is next Thursday, August 27at 3:00 p.m., so don't wait to sign up. For more details and to sign up click here.
Come in and see these Ten Sisters Totes in person at the shop, grab a pattern, some grid and a few fabrics (all 15% off for classmembers) and get ready to be hooked on using the Easy Piecing Grid for more than quilty totes -- think patchwork bows, jackets, and of course, quilts!
Carmen was raised in a big family of 17 kids- 10 girls and 7 boys. Thus her business name is Tensisters Handicraft. From an early age she was taught to quilt by her mother and sisters. She had a children’s clothing business in Seattle, was a freelance educator for Viking and Pfaff for 15 years, and is an award winning longarm quilter. She has taught at many quilt shows around the country. She was named HMQS Teacher of the Year 2013.
Something she often says in class is, “If it looks HARD, but is actually really EASY then that is my style!” Her classes focus on quilting techniques– skill building and confidence building. She loves the traditional quilt patterns of days past, but loves new, easy techniques to make the process fun, faster, and successful. She has developed the Tensisters Piping Tool and the Tensisters Easy Piecing Grid with its companion books.
Although her favorite work is to be in the classroom teaching quilting techniques, her real love is her family of five kids, their spouses, her ten beautiful grand kids, and her husband of 36 years, Patrick. Her other hobbies are digging in the dirt; whether gardening, dutch-oven cooking, making rock pathways, or playing in the sand box.

As you've seen, Halloween hit quilt stores back in May -- while we were all busy planning our summer, basking in the sunshine, NOT thinking about Halloween. Snap your fingers and here we are on the cusp of crisp autumn air and fall festivities; Halloween will be here in a flash! We're here for it with fabric and quilty ideas for spooky season.
Kris Money made the Halloween Shindig quilt above using the Ghostly Garden collection and a white on white spider web background. This pattern comes from a new must-have book, Home Piece by Piece from Moda. This cool compendium features 12 quilts all made using 12 fat quarters and a 1 background fabric!
Kris also put together the Witches Feet Table Runner in Frank and Friends fabric. Where can I get me some socks like that? This kit comes in a cute box to boot (see what I did there) by Riley Blake Designs. Get yours here.
We're stocked full of fabrics for Halloween! Here's just a few of the collections you'll find in-store and online while supplies last.
