Shop Status Update
                          Carbon County enters the Green phase on Friday 6/12/20!
             Therefore beginning 6/16 no appointment will be necessary to shop!!
The shop will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10am to 5pm. As a courtesy to your fellow quilters who may be at a higher risk, please wear your mask upon entering the shop and practice sew-cial distancing. Thanks.




Quilters Trek starts in 10 days!
 Quilters Trek is a new color-guided shopping adventure for quilters! The color theme this year is True Blue. This means the participating shops will be offering blocks made with predominantly blue fabric. This allows quilters to create quilts that are more pleasing and cohesive.
Each shop will create four 9" blocks that can be arrange in a row or as an 18" square.
Shops will have kits for sale, but the block pattern is free. If you cannot travel to a participating shop to purchase a kit, kits with the pattern will be sold by phone order and shipped to you.The free "stand alone" pattern will still be available in-store ONLY during the event.
 

The Quilted Crow's blocks arranged into an 18" square.
 
Quilters 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.
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!

Shop Hop Update
In case you did not see this on Facebook, the 2020 Eastern PA Shop Hop has been canceled.

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!
 
                             Classes
The Free motion Quilting classes are full. If you are interested in taking these classes, please call the shop and your name will be put on a waiting list. We hope to offer the classes again in the fall.
