<span style="font-size: large;">Something we have noticed repeatedly over the years, is the oddly large number of customers who subconsciously wear the color they are shopping for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In January I started collecting pictures of this phenomena and here is a curated set of pictures documenting this! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to all the customers (and employees!) who were willing to allow us to post pictures of them-- there were many more who were not in their words "hair and make-up ready" and they declined, which we completely understand! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of you had some fun with this! :-)We hope you enjoy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It always makes us smile when it happens at the shop.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We took this staff photo at our recent open house event and jokingly some of the ladies said- if I have less wrinkles in a black and white version let's use that one! So when I was manipulating the photo to post it on our facebook and website I did experiment with a black and white version- thanks to the miracle of photo effects on my phone. In comparing the two photos my eye was immediately drawn to the values revealed in the black and white version.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the two photos:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When the color is leached out of the photo in the black and white version suddenly all you can see are the values of the fabrics (surrounding a great looking group of quilters!). Value is something customers struggle with a lot. I was particularly interested in this part of the picture:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When I looked at the colored photo that series of red-orange grunge dots all look pretty dark but look how that changes in the black and white version:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the black and white version only that ONE darkest red bolt looks like a dark. The others are suddenly much lighter. This is a great example of how our perception of value is often skewed by color. Our eyes are very distracted by color, often the only way to see true value is to remove the color and look at things in black and white.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many of us are drawn to bright colors in a medium value. When we look in our stashes they are full of medium value fabrics. They are like eye candy, we love them! But, to make an interesting quilt often times we need to have a variation in value. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stunning Lone Star Quilt below was made by one of our customers. It's colors are all from the yellow-green-blue part of the rainbow, a very popular choice for many quilters. What makes this quilt even more successful is the use of value.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the black and white version of the quilt where you can see even WITHOUT color the quilt is very successful because of her changes in value. You can still make out all the elements of the quilt and indeed it seems to glow from the center, even in black and white, all because of her value placements.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At the shop we see quilts everyday that depend on value to convey the pattern just as this quilt does. Often taking a picture of a quilt or a group of fabrics you are considering for a quilt with your cell phone camera, and then converting the picture to black and white is a very useful tool in guiding your choices for a deeper more value filled quilt!</span></div>

We are now Quilters Crossing 2.0-- just kidding but we have made some upgrades and positive changes as you can see on our website! <a href="http://www.quilterscrossingtx.com/" target="_blank">Click here to see!</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We now have our website open for class sign ups online! So you can sign up for classes in your PJ's if you want! We are working on having some products online for sale as well and it will come in time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Meantime we have introduced a new system in the shop where we have computers at each cutting table- no more post its with your fabric cuts written down. This cuts down on errors and it also makes the check out line move more quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are slowly moving our rewards bonus information to the new system but with a few thousand customers it takes some time to do this. Please hang in there with us. It will all transfer and your rewards will continue to accumulate in the meantime!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This weekend is our Open House! From 10am-4pm please enjoy our hospitality, ask questions of our teachers, sign up for classes, and take advantage of our 25% off sale on all in stock merchandise. We have a 1/2 yd minimum cut on this day only. We will not CUT fat quarters but any that are already cut are included in the sale price as are notions, batting, tools, rulers, thread and patterns.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We will be giving out "passports" that you can have each teacher sign in the classroom. If you complete your passport and turn it in you are eligible for a goody bag prize drawing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tri- County Quilt Guild will be in the classroom with their raffle quilt (tickets for purchase!) and postcards reminding you of their upcoming show at the Berry Center! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">See you Saturday!</span><br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: start;">As the year comes to a close, we wanted to update everyone on the shop.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img alt="Image result for year end" height="266" src="https://blogs.wf.com/assetmanagement/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2017/12/224blog-NewYear2018-a25cbd42-713a-4522-a22a-7d3906cf8f36-1349582254.png" width="400" /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will very soon be switching to a new system at the shop that will allow our customers to see our products online. We understand that shopping online makes decision making at the shop easier when project planning. We hope that this encourages you to stop in more and that it is a helpful tool in your quilting.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">With this new system comes a brand new look for our website, we are very excited to have a more professional look. It comes with handy extras like the ability to sign up for classes online, text reminders and more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Printable Coupon" src="https://www.remkes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/printable-coupons.jpg" /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will still offer our rewards program and a guild discount (for those who present a guild membership card), but the new system will also give us freedom to offer a birthday club, coupons and more. We ask for a little patience as we make the transition but think it will be well worth it!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As we get closer to Open House we will be revealing new classes and new dates.</span></div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next we will illustrate how to construct the corner pieces:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pair your smaller (5" ) squares of yellow and a focal fabric, draw your diagonal as before and sew as before on either side of the line, cut on the line and repeat with the second set. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You should now have 4 HST with the yellow and focal print:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEH2QrauQroSmnIT0P0pxraifFabhwqtFoNpYUfHSNjDRaXXE3xfTv5wsAdsYf5IjZ4xdwBMyfORVYqbDTFLbQdvpX3S-2qUlrsmSzuvQghqPNhCjkchEBp7Jc-w-vkmBjuax2qoCgp0S/s1600/pic+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEH2QrauQroSmnIT0P0pxraifFabhwqtFoNpYUfHSNjDRaXXE3xfTv5wsAdsYf5IjZ4xdwBMyfORVYqbDTFLbQdvpX3S-2qUlrsmSzuvQghqPNhCjkchEBp7Jc-w-vkmBjuax2qoCgp0S/s320/pic+12.jpg" width="313" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Press towards the focal print:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MZ_iv4fuXnMc5f9H9ks-iwmzfcZk54WOilqoZHeUqAWFz3_iGmqjnZfKsB531ADjDzCIOFVMRuNxjuxYAhV13ECHZuFO_D8NyBmGPLkYYDCpH-dSBe0JgX91-mdbMfC-iMTDchrhyphenhyphenw6p/s1600/pic+13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MZ_iv4fuXnMc5f9H9ks-iwmzfcZk54WOilqoZHeUqAWFz3_iGmqjnZfKsB531ADjDzCIOFVMRuNxjuxYAhV13ECHZuFO_D8NyBmGPLkYYDCpH-dSBe0JgX91-mdbMfC-iMTDchrhyphenhyphenw6p/s320/pic+13.jpg" width="298" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Now you will place a 2" yellow square on each focal corner fabric as shown and draw a diagonal line parallel to the sewn line:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6IRyBb60LUf6FPK-Etbiif8g58qL2i35QCUFKQfR2fAz_cSOfhmiY_lkWAMgQe5BrZWKISJ8wxafyP8EUsdG04IA2rzRDjTzm8RIOfKacHmd5cBGTKiY5IRGLKgjfdtwQJIeIbsA_cEb/s1600/pic+14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV6IRyBb60LUf6FPK-Etbiif8g58qL2i35QCUFKQfR2fAz_cSOfhmiY_lkWAMgQe5BrZWKISJ8wxafyP8EUsdG04IA2rzRDjTzm8RIOfKacHmd5cBGTKiY5IRGLKgjfdtwQJIeIbsA_cEb/s320/pic+14.jpg" width="211" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> NOTE this time you will SEW ON THE DRAWN LINE!! and then fold back the triangle flap to reveal your corner pieces, you may trim the corner focal fabric away if you wish , just be careful not to cut your yellow! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These completed pieces should measure 4.5".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Assemble your elements as shown in one of these arrangements:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAYiW2qX-RKlRmm5gL6bRJTRIjBcB_Ehz39diXjKAsBqZhFaFiVSQXG7-z0chyphenhyphen9Xw9VLPSSe_FsRozHF-S68bgRtEnkgDHAz6Ra1nVepqlQF1fymfjHmXKEokG_PR-27R_n-nnkqKUaAFL/s1600/layout+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAYiW2qX-RKlRmm5gL6bRJTRIjBcB_Ehz39diXjKAsBqZhFaFiVSQXG7-z0chyphenhyphen9Xw9VLPSSe_FsRozHF-S68bgRtEnkgDHAz6Ra1nVepqlQF1fymfjHmXKEokG_PR-27R_n-nnkqKUaAFL/s320/layout+1.jpg" width="299" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It gives the block a slightly different look depending on which way you choose to place the corners.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpE0tzkTI_em_vW_dXXCzc9NQE5SDFT7-dBGNP9UN6dFBnNPDC4S0_NUPk1DRoPmo9dBWBRu4O2nOXHeiY9rrKTpp6yLvtDQWIJUQmbp4eHi1NgMS3FTGFl35kvWFH_J83hvnh3J5HbqUi/s1600/layout+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpE0tzkTI_em_vW_dXXCzc9NQE5SDFT7-dBGNP9UN6dFBnNPDC4S0_NUPk1DRoPmo9dBWBRu4O2nOXHeiY9rrKTpp6yLvtDQWIJUQmbp4eHi1NgMS3FTGFl35kvWFH_J83hvnh3J5HbqUi/s320/layout+2.jpg" width="296" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sew the three rows together and if you press the outside column seams outward and the middle column inward the seams will nest with reduced bulk.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNNEnhNkf5YmOqmBEs5yTcWmK5h5_wPT0uMy2YvsoGejkFLwvI41shi6fZDdTURs1v3Azz7OOii1PM5-SECwWByJJQu40n-I8_vWk24SzFzcSFlNl7zas0YizDMdbEALvscwGn_C380xA/s1600/nesting+seams.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNNEnhNkf5YmOqmBEs5yTcWmK5h5_wPT0uMy2YvsoGejkFLwvI41shi6fZDdTURs1v3Azz7OOii1PM5-SECwWByJJQu40n-I8_vWk24SzFzcSFlNl7zas0YizDMdbEALvscwGn_C380xA/s320/nesting+seams.jpg" width="299" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sew these last two seams to reveal your completed block!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Shop Hop Dates are Wed, March 29 through Sat. April 1st.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The hours each day are from 9:00 am-6pm </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">except for Friday where we extend the hours to 9am-7pm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will pick up your passport at the first shop you visit and get it stamped to prove you visited. At each shop you will receive a free pattern for a star block. You may choose to purchase a kit to make this block for $9. Each block is unique to that store. Each store will also have a quilt displayed that uses all 9 blocks to make a quilt. You have the option of purchasing a finishing kit so that you may put your blocks together in the way that best pleases you! These options will be displayed on the website <a href="http://shophophouston.com/">shophophouston.com</a>. This way you can plan ahead and be prepared to purchase your finishing kit when you arrive at that store.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Folks! It looks like we are approaching another Open House Event on January 21 from 10am-4pm. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few things to keep in mind that might make your Open House day more enjoyable and less waiting in long lines:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1.Come later in the day! After 2 pm the lines are significantly lower and we are still going strong! Parking is easier and it's less crowded.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img alt="Image result for no parking signs" height="200" src="https://brutebox.com/wp-content/uploads/no-parking-sign-generic.jpg" style="text-align: center;" width="143" /><span style="font-size: large;">2. Please</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">DO NOT PARK</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">at TAD's Bar and Grill next door! We try to stay on good terms with our neighbors! We have lots of parking in the back of our building and our staff and Gloyer's staff all park across the street that day to give you even more parking! Please feel free to stop in at Gloyers and browse their adorable gift section that day as a thank you!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img alt="Image result for be kind signs" height="200" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/25/be/ab/25beab012adc5529f82d2cfa8d35c370.jpg" width="150" /><span style="font-size: large;">3. Please do not get in the cutting lines before you are done browsing the fabrics. It is not fair to folks behind you if you are adding and adding to your bolts in the line. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">NEW!</span> 4. We will have a cutting table set up in our office (near the batik section), if you don't mind dropping your fabric off we will cut it behind the scenes while you walk around and enjoy the rest of the event. One of our runners will find you when you order is cut and bring you the goods you selected all ready to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. We have a limited number of shopping totes. We are perfectly comfortable with you bringing your own to make your shopping easier.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Our teachers prepare samples, class supply lists and even bring food to share for this event. Please spend some time in the classroom. It's a feast for the eyes and there is even a spread of food in there! Sign up for a class to learn something new!</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiII-tA_GfQkZRc9mEmMCHySB4ZTbkiKTBUrkOtp87YT23ODXE0KJ7WZBOiaXhemB89adhdjGmP4EV3-Q_yLJZdA1u4D6iYkt-Ga2S6Qu-n6HGkcsEsSjmve-xA0vystqSlFo5Qz3QGMQ4i/s1600/2017-01-11+17.16.33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiII-tA_GfQkZRc9mEmMCHySB4ZTbkiKTBUrkOtp87YT23ODXE0KJ7WZBOiaXhemB89adhdjGmP4EV3-Q_yLJZdA1u4D6iYkt-Ga2S6Qu-n6HGkcsEsSjmve-xA0vystqSlFo5Qz3QGMQ4i/s320/2017-01-11+17.16.33.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. We do not accept credit cards for classes. This includes ANY plastic with a chip in it- they all run as a credit card if they have a chip. We accept Checks ( they do not get cashed until the day of your class!) and Cash for classes. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for cash" height="200" src="https://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000130291821-v43oot-t500x500.jpg" width="200" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">8. We will have a line for Cash only at the check out. If you bring cash this line is usually considerably faster than the credit line! This also helps us out because credit cards take a percentage of sales and as a small business every little bit helps! Please consider paying with cash!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Please do not ask us to cut fabric earlier in the week and put it on hold for Saturday. It is not fair to others and we do not allow this- the sale price (25% off all in-stock inventory) is for Saturday cuts ( 1/2 yard or more). The only exception to this is folks signing up for the beginner classes who receive a voucher for their fabric purchase.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">10. Please check out our class information online. Our <a href="http://quilterscrossingtx.com/" target="_blank">website</a> has a great downloadable class description document on the classes page! Clicking <a href="http://nebula.wsimg.com/760cbfa558c5c2ed969c7c8af4e5adc0?AccessKeyId=117740FFE1EC02BFB020&disposition=0&alloworigin=1" target="_blank">HERE</a> will also get you to the file!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">We are looking forward to a successful event! See you then!</span><br />

We can't wait to see you all on Saturday!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Remember, parking behind the store accessible by the driveway that runs along the Gloyer's side of the building and there is even a door to the store open back there for you to use!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Teachers do not take credit cards for classes so bring cash or checks for class payments. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Supplies are bought through the store and we accept credit, cash, debit and check!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be a line but we have upgraded to 2 check-outs so it should not be as bad as last time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Refreshments are available in the classroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Come on in and be inspired!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Edyta Sitar has come out with a beautiful line of colonial blues mixed with creams and tans. This is definitely an up and coming color combination. We are seeing it in several fabric lines and designers. Very home decorator friendly and mixing prints with batiks as Edyta has taught us all to do! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of years ago Lazy Girl Designs came out with the Bendy Bag pattern. I made and enjoyed it though frankly felt it was a little wasteful because in making it you cut out and wasted a couple of large hunks of fabric which goes against the grain of most fabric connoisseurs (hoarders) like myself!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhSV_Bb7PDU2_SVgwLQlZz-pKJYg5dHQd8LZ9VaSHh3lNuGlIILOAqajNIJEy-mKg9DunPhNnkAmzAkOzSBusaKdeyf5HwnTUBr8iak8cArVeYegKGspA1GPrFZha8ZEHQeNIkQ2l3Vzu/s1600/patterns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuhSV_Bb7PDU2_SVgwLQlZz-pKJYg5dHQd8LZ9VaSHh3lNuGlIILOAqajNIJEy-mKg9DunPhNnkAmzAkOzSBusaKdeyf5HwnTUBr8iak8cArVeYegKGspA1GPrFZha8ZEHQeNIkQ2l3Vzu/s400/patterns.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then more recently, (and brilliantly) Wah Lah!: Sweetpea Pods pattern was born, which uses the exact pieces you were cutting and throwing out of the Bendy bag pattern! Perfect! Now you can make adorable and coordinated little sets with NO waste! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Notice the mix and match zippers? In the Sweetpea Pod pattern she teaches you how to swap out the zipper heads for a more fun and funky product! You can make one set with 2 zippers, one extra zipper head, 1/4 fusible fleece and 1/2 yd of fabric! If you want to play with some zipper colors Atkinson made that possible too:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Now you can buy extra zipper heads to mix and match!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Jody made an adorable little romper this week out of some of our cotton lawn fabrics. For those who are unfamiliar with cotton lawn:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Jody feels the lawn fabric is a great choice for summer wear in Houston heat, very light. It is advisable to sew with a smaller needle size like a 75 or 80 (topstitch). If your machine gets hungry and tries to eat the lightweight lawn use a single hole needle plate in your machine throat. A little leader fabric (scrap) folded up and loaded in just ahead of your project fabric can also be used to fend off the machine munchies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The romper pattern is "super duper easy" in Jody's rating, only 2 pattern pieces. Brilliant pattern tip: Instead of cutting your pattern pieces out, trace them onto Pattern EZ or tracing paper so that you can use them repeatedly in different sizes without sacrificing a copy of your pattern! Especially helpful with children's clothing since the little munchkins grow so darn fast!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Tips for pattern success: Here is the one we all know and summarily ignore: Read the pattern instructions before starting. Ummm this may save you a lot of time-- like the inordinate amount of time it took Jody to find the shoulder tie instructions, which are on page 7 she says! :-)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The big intimidating part of this pattern is the elastic around the leg holes- no problem: the pattern doesn't even use a casing- it is just stitched on with a zig-zag stitch, couldn't be quicker. If you have a serger a rolled hem around those leg holes would look great-- maybe in a contrasting thread??? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wouldn't that be cute?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's time to start thinking about the Greater Houston Quilt Shop Hop! This year it begins on March 30 and ends on April 2. Participants try to visit all 9 participating shops, collect all 9 stamps on their passports which are submitted at the end making them eligible for prizes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have a fun Texas theme this year. Check out the shop hop's website <a href="http://www.shophophouston.com/" target="_blank">here</a> for more information!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few things to note: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Deb has offered at 15% discount to anyone buying their supplies at the shop just let us know when you check out! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. If you do not wish to to the striped effect achieved with the set in squares shown below but you still wish to set it on point the setting yardage adds up to 3.75 yards of one color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. There is a bin of 10" sampler shuffle cuts at the shop affordable priced if you want to purchase a few to supplement your chosen precut lines. Keep in mind most precuts don't have a lot of "background" fabrics- tone on tones- so that may be what you need to supplement- check out your fabric and see. Do you have a good balance of light, medium and darks? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Check out our website for more information! We have posted the PDF for the setting instructions, flying geese border and half square triangle tutorial already to get you ready! Click <a href="http://www.quilterscrossingtx.com/sampler-shuffle.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to go directly to the website.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. You will see on the downloads for the blocks when you print it out there are two sets of instructions- one to keep and one to share! Get your friends shuffling too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Please send us your pictures via Facebook and Instagram : #modasamplershuffle #quilterscrossing or send an email to quilterscrossing@att.net-- Or stop in the shop to show and tell! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>***Moda has provided a few tips they suggest for this project***</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since the blocks are small:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- shorten your stitch length a little,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> -use a 70/10 or 80/12 topstitch needle, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-sew with 50 or 60 wt thread, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">-use a "Scant" quarter inch on your seams</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> these tips and adjustments will yield a more accurate block and nicer finished project! </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Many of us were drawn into quilting by patchwork. Those charming prints and scrappy quilts appeal to many of us. Some consider patchwork quilting the true American art. All those blocks with quirky or historically relevant names were often published in newspapers and magazines for quilters to collect and make. The patterns were clipped and saved carefully with their templates, often these were cherished and handed down mother to daughter.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Moda fabrics wants to celebrate this quilting tradition so they have created a new project called the Sampler Shuffle. This is a free program they invite independent quilt shops and their customers to participate in. Beginning on Friday November 6th at 6pm, you, our customers will be able to download a free sampler block once per week. </span></span></div>

You may need a few odd bits, especially of background fabrics (depending on the fabric line you use) so be prepared with a few fat quarters of some supplements of whatever fabric line you choose. The setting fabric requirements are listed with the setting instructions if you want to go ahead and buy those so that you can coordinate your fabric choices as you plan your project! </span></span></div>
