05-21-2020 Changes to crow about!New Facebook Page!
Due to a communication glitch, I had to delete the shop Facebook page and create a new one. Please go to the shop's web page at www.the-quiltedcrow.com and click on the Facebook button in the upper right hand corner to like us. Thanks!Shop Status Update
Carbon County is in the Yellow phase! Therefore beginning 5/26 the shop will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10am to 5pm by appointment. Each appointment will be for 1hr, and two or three quilters will be allowed in the shop at a time. The first appointment will be a 10am and the last appointment will be at 4pm. Each quilter will be required to wear a mask and I will give you a pair of disposable gloves to wear when you enter. You will have 45 minutes to shop, which gives me 15 minutes to sanitize the shop before the next person comes.If you place a phone order for curb side pickup, you do not need to make an appointment. So call to get your fabric fix!!
Attention Ladies who signed up for the Spring Beginning Quilting by Machine Quilting Class.
If you did not receive my email today, please call the shop Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of next week between 10am and 5pm. Thank you! Quilters Trek Update
 New Dates: June 21st to September 8th
The Row by Row experience has transitioned into Quilters Trek, a new color-guided shopping adventure for quilters. Quilters Trek is similar to the Row by Row program, but with fresh new features. The theme is a color! True Blue for 2020. Shops will offer kits designed with predominantly blue fabric. This allows quilters to create quilts that are more pleasing and cohesive. The shops will create "designs" (not rows). Four 9-inch (finished size) blocks that can be arranged as a row or as an 18-inch square. Shops will give away the block pattern for their design to anyone who comes in their store. Shops will sell kits which contain the fabric for the four blocks. If you cannot travel to a participating shop to purchase a kit, kits with the pattern will be sold online or by phone order and shipped to you. The free "stand alone" pattern will still be available in-store ONLY during the event. Each kit will have a Fabric Token hidden inside the kit - like a cracker jack prize. In addition, each shop will receive 3 Golden Tokens (also 2-1/2 inch fabric squares). Finders of Golden Tokens will be featured on the new Golden Selfie Facebook page. Rules to win are a little different. Quilter must complete a quilt (quilted, bound, labeled) using 32 nine-inch block designs from at least 8 participating shops, which means 4 blocks from each shop. After that they can include whatever they want… even rows from previous RxR years. The time window to submit a quilt for a prize is July 15th to October 15th. Each shop will offer a prize of 15 fat quarters plus a bonus prize if the quilt includes the shop’s blocks to 2 different quilters! To see the list of participating shops go to
https://www.facebook.com/QuiltersTrekChurnDashExplorers/ Lancaster Quilt Show Canceled!
It sad to report that this year's Lancaster Quilt Show at the Doubletree Willow Valley Resort has been canceled. But, the show has been scheduled for next year!
So save the dates - March 24- 27 2021. What Else Are You Making?
Below is a picture of Barb Skiffington's gorgeous king size Hosta quilt!
 Although we cannot physically get together for show and tell, we can still share our creations. Send me a picture of your project and I will post it in this space to inspire your fellow quilters and make them happy. Masks Update
Although the need for masks has decreased in our immediate area thanks to all of your efforts, there is still a need in other parts of the country. A customer has informed me that there is a great need for the masks on the Navajo reservation. They have lost many people from the covid-19 crisis, and are in great need of masks for adults and children.
They ask that you send a note with your donation as to where you are from and that each mask is marked adult or child and put in a zip-lock bag. You can send your masks to the address below: Byrd’s Nez
