The JaM Patch presents
Robyn Pandolph’s “A Charmed Life”
 
We have kitted this special Block of the Month Program to assist you in completion of this quilt top.
The fabrics for each block have been individually cut and are in the corresponding pattern folder. We have reduced the amounts suggested if possible to keep the cost of the fabric kit to a minimum. The yardage of backgrounds is whole and to be cut as directed for the 12 blocks. Block 13 is cut separately. 
All the block background have been done “reverse appliqué” with the blue dot cut away from the floral fabric. This cut out section is then used throughout the appliqués. Save all your cut outs!
Our sample has been completed with fusible appliqué. We used Steam a Seam Lite. When the pieces have been fused down they are then stitched down to assure they are there to stay. The stitching also enhances the designs. We chose to stitch the appliqués down before the blocks have been put together. 

Pattern: “A Charmed Life” $81.00

Fabric Kit: $136.00   (does not include binding and backing)

We will conduct workshops for completion for $10 each session. They are FREE if you have purchased youPar kit and patterns from The JaM Patch. Mondays 10 – 2

Beach Walk by McKenna Ryan


What can we say but that McKenna Ryan has out done herself
with a beautiful quilt that is right up our alley?

BEACH WALK

As Pine Needles, her design business, say "Simply Beautiful, beatifully simple." This is one we think quite a few of you would like to do or should I say possess.  We will offer classes on the various blocks at our
very own "Beach Walk" Class called "Walk in the Sand."
But before I say anything further.....drum roll, please.....here it is.....

The fabric arrived today.....the patterns are on their way!!!!  We will
be releasing information on pricing and kits.  The patterns are
$ 12.50 each.


McKenna had captured the feeling of warm ocean breezes, building sand castles, watching the birds or just relaxing under an umbrella. Our kit consists of Hoffman batiks and cottons designed specifically for the “Sand in your Shoes” fabric line. The Hoffman fabric does so much of the creative work for you. “Beach Walk” is designed to be a fused appliqué art quilt; the blocks can be sewn together to form a 59” x 73” quilt or each block can be constructed individually as wall hanging.


The JaM Patch is offering the entire kit for $287.50.
            This includes the 9 patterns, all fabrics to complete the top, the binding and a FREE embellishment kit (a $12 value). 
 
If purchased separately:

            The patterns are $12.50 each.
            The entire fabric kit is $199.00
            The Embellishment kit is $12.00

At this time we are not offering the fabric kits of the individual blocks. We are making every attempt to fill our complete quilt orders BEFORE we work on the individual patterns. If you are in a hurry, we can supply you with the center section. The fabric we are out of is the border and the latest from Hoffman is that fabric will not be in until mid-November. Please place your order and we will see what you can do for any individual ones. 


To assist in the completion of this great project The JaM Patch is conducting workshops. On the following days we will be available to explain the patterns and methods used in our samples. You do not have to attend the workshops, this is a service to assist you with this project for those of you who have purchased the kit here. If not, there is a $20.00 fee for attendance. 

Wed. 12:30 – 4   Sept 29th                                           Sat. 12:30 – 4 Oct 9th
                            Oct 27th                                                                    Nov 13th

At the JaM Patch we will be happy to help you design the patterns to fit your needs. Enjoy these traditional patterns with the ease of Kaye’s directions and the assistance of Joey and Margy. 
If the JaM Patch is preparing a kit for you, we must have payment one week prior to the class to insure your kit is prepared before the Club meeting.

Half Birthday Party----The JaM Patch turns 4-1/2 years old


 
 
 
Okay, I know, can you believe it the JaM Patch is 4-1/2 years old. So since you know how much we love cake and parties, we are throwing another one.  Starting on July 16th at 9:00am with a special until we close on Saturday, July 24th, the JaM Patch will be PARTY CENTRAL for Quilters.   We put on our thinking caps and we hope you will enjoy all the festivities.  So this is your personal invitation to attend all or one or more of the things we have planned.  Remember we will have CAKE on Saturday, July 24th. We will also be having our regularly scheduled Saturday Sampler at 9:30am and Patch's Monthly Sampler (PMS) at 12:30pm.

Beginning at 9:00am on Friday, July 16th, the store will open with a Fat Quarter Frenzy that will run Friday and Saturday. It will be 20 fat quarters for $ 25.00.   Both days we will open at 9:00am and close at our normal times4pm on Friday and 2pm on Saturday.  In addition all fabric older than 2010, will be on sale for 25% off with the minimum cut one (1) yard. (The key to know that a fabric is on sale is, if our inventory number starts with 09 and earlier, it is on SALE for 25% off.)
 
The Bake-Off will be the theme of the week starting on Monday, July 18th.  The actual demos will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10:30am.  We will be featuring precuts and what they can mean to you.  Moda has excited the quilt community with their precuts and we at the JaM Patch think there is nothing easier than to use a precut.  We want to share with you what patterns and books we have used.  Each day the demo will be different.  Precuts are here to stay so why not enjoy them to the fullest.
 
Each time you come to the store during this week starting on the 16th until the 24th, you can enter the drawing for the JaM Patch Gift Basket valued at more than $ 450.00. (After all we are 4 and half years old.) There will be a gift with purchase and the weekend of the 22nd, 23rd and 24th receive a FREE pattern for the Patchwork Turtle, a stitching, fusing, and quilting project.  She is called "Poking at the Patch."  We will have demos at 10:30am each day starting on Thursday and ending on Saturday.  We are so lucky to have Tonya from the Lazy Gal Quilting blog to share with you the presentation she will be doing on the Alex Anderson and Ricky Timms Web show.  She will be doing her presentation on Saturday and bring 16 quilts to share in show and tell.  She will also give a demo on Wonky Letters which is featured in her new book due out December 7, 2010.  
 
How is that for a Half Birthday Celebration!!!!!
