Gals Just Havin' Fun

Here are some pictures of recent classes with students being successful and happy with their results. The first is the Folded Star class. Now THIS is an easy and rewarding project that requires NO SEWING! I'm sure you'll agree that the results are great. This class has been offered and will be offered in BOTH shops - Riverhead and East Northport. Sign up so you won't miss the fun.

The second class is offered every other month only in Riverhead. It's the Cross County Runners Club. This is a mystery class where the students make a table runner in a pre-selected colorway or they may opt for a neutral color. It's fun and as you can see the students leave with a finished project. Go to http://www.piecefulquilting.com/ to see all the classes coming up in December.

Countdown to Christmas

The classroom in Riverhead is humming on Friday nights from now through December 17th. Have some fun and get down to business. This is what Sandy, Chris, Jean, Lorraine, Kim and Sheryl are doing. We serve a light pizza dinner and then get to work from 6 until 10pm. Seating is limited so call to get on the A list!

Hoppin' all over Long Island

Those crazy quilters are hoppin' all over Long Island and having a ball while they're at it. The shop has been a buzz with activity and everyone seems to be having a great time. Here are some photos of the East Northport Shop. The staff are all wearing Kiss Me I'm Irish tiara's and the UPS guy is taking this seriously!

Island Shop Hop in Riverhead

A Million Pillowcases: A Million Thank Yous

The most generous customers of Pieceful Quilting have done it again! We have actually exceeded our goal to make 500 pillowcases by May 31st with a healthy 534 cases. They were donated to Brighter Tomorrows, The Retreat, St. Peters Church, the Church on the Hill, Pronto Community Outreach, and Thursdays Child. As you might imagine, the recipients were MOST grateful for our donation. The kids will just LOVE what you've done.

The "price" of admission to our Pillowcase parties was a food donation for Island Harvest. The driver, pictured here carted off over 100 pounds of food donations. Again, very grateful.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED in this worthwhile fund raiser.

The girls at Pieceful Quilting must be gearing up for a vacation, because the classroom was a buzz with weekender totes. This was a great class and the results as you can see were fabulous. It's just amazing how cool this weekender tote is. You really can get a weekend's worth of stuff in that thing. Pictured here are Laura, Kim and Jenny.

Fabric Bowl Class in East Northport

This was a really fun class with a great group of gals. You can see from this picture that they were all successful. I wonder what everyone on their gift list will be getting this year????

The MILLION Pillowcase Challenge comes to Pieceful Quilting

We're off to a great start with the Million Pillowcase Challenge at Pieceful Quilting. We already have almost 50 pillowcases done. Thanks to Wendy Rottner and company shown here in these great pictures. Wendy hosted a sewing session at her home and using their own stashes managed to finished a load of pillowcases.

The Million Pillowcase Challenge is a year-long national initiative to create and donate one million pillowcases to local charities.

Pieceful Quilting will be hosting our own party to git 'er done. The price of admission to these parties is canned goods which will be donated to Island Harvest, a Long Island wide service organization that rescues food for shelters throughout Long Island.

Come into either Pieceful Quilting Shop and sew a pillowcase using our machines and our fabric. We'll give you copies of the pillowcase patterns too. We will be donating these pillowcases to local women's shelters. If you would like to host a party at your house and use some of your stash, let us know and we'll get your pillowcases into the right hands.

Riverhead Parties will take place on Tuesday March 30 from 1 - 8pm and Saturday May 1st from 11 - 4pm. The East Northport Parties will take place on Friday April 2nd from 4 - 8pm and Monday April 26 from 11 - 4pm.

See you then.
