First Saturday 2026

Saturday, January 3, February 7, etc.  9-11am

A new series of 12” blocks starts January 3, 2026

We are excited to introduce you to Sew Quilty for 2025!  Our new twelve-month block of the month features sewing-themed blocks. The finished quilt measures 59”x 74”.  Starting January 3, you will receive colorful fabric for one 12″ finished block each month. You will purchase the background up front. 

Here’s how it works:

* Signups start on November 1, 2025.  There will be a limited number of sign-ups available.  Sign-ups will cut off December 15, 2025.  We will have a few available after that, but we won’t be able to keep ordering the books and cutting the fabric indefinitely.

*  You will sign up by paying the non-refundable deposit of $25 (+ tax), which includes the book.

*  You can choose any background you want and purchase it ahead of time or on the first day.  You’ll need about 3 yards.  Ours is white low volume.  Other suggestions are cream or white solids or tiny prints.

*   We will open the doors at 9:00 on the First Saturday, starting January 3, 2025.  You will pay $6 each month.  Starting in February, come between 9 and 11 on First Saturday and bring the previous month’s block finished, and you will get the next block free!  This is a return to our traditional First Saturday.

*  If you can’t come between 9 and 11 on First Saturday, no worries.  You can pick up the block any time after 11 on First Saturday or throughout the month for $6.  Most people don’t get all the blocks free, so don’t stress!

*   When you come in on First Saturday, you can go to the demo area, where the new block will be highlighted and there will be an ongoing demonstration of how the block is put together from 9-11am only.

*   We can mail blocks!  Because of the time and expense involved, we will charge you the third month of each quarter, and mail them our together (March, June, September, December).  The mailing will take place after the last First Saturday of the quarter.
