FIVE BUCK FINISH: Gather up your Frog Prince or Saturday Sampler
blocks from months... or years.. past, and spend a fun evening in a whole
class effort to decide your best layout, accent and addition or elimination
options. You’ll look at options in sashing, filler blocks, on-point or not
on-point, and what-the-heck to do about borders. Inspiring to see others’

how to beautifully tie everything together; a great way to spend five bucks.

a simple folding technique that makes the work
quick and manageable. The results will be as

Dont’ Forget... The parking is hassle FREE at the Chemeketa
Parkade — the entrance is just north of our shop on Commercial
Street. You can drive through the alley and stop briefly to unload
your machine from the back before parking, unless you have one of
our rolling totes, then you’ll want to roll it great distances! There is an
elevator on Commercial St. so park near it on the 2nd or 3rd level!
Sylvia’s Scribblings continued
off . A little ( ✱) will tell you of any that are not
eligible, (Retreats, Quilt Camps, Bus Trips, Guest
Teachers).
We really have fun in the Forest: Don’t miss
the Hoffman Challenge, dates listed on page one;
Lovey’s birthday party, she’s 8 so it’s 8% off, plus
we’ll punch your card. Please bring your “pup” in
to visit, we usually have more dog than human
treats. This is my first call for this years dog quilts.
Many of you followed the e-club link and saw the
wonderful family of dogs that now has a fenced yard
and dog houses all from last years efforts. There are
almost no rules, any size up to a large lap, use dog
prints or not! They will be up for silent auction June
6-30th, with all proceeds going to Fences for Fido,
purchasing supplies to build fences for chained dogs.
This would be a great opportunity to practice your
machine quilting.
Our bus trip to Sisters is always a hit, jump on
board; lots of Quiltopia info on page 7 and our trip
to Ireland and the International Quilt Festival is
coming in June. Looks like some of our “Quilted
Forest” trees will be there. Our weekly e-club will
keep you up to date on all these happenings and the
new fabric and book arrivals at www.quiltedforest.
com , click on the e-club button at the top of the
home page.
So much new fabric and fun books I have to stop
scribbling and sew! We’d really love to see you in
the Forest, but if you can’t, remember to visit our
web site, we have free shipping on most items.
Keep on Quilting!

BOOK REVIEWS
50 LITTLE PAPER-PIECED BLOCKS by
Carol Doak $12.95
Carol is back with 50 new little 3” quilt blocks
in a variety of themes from hearts and flowers
to airplanes, birthday cakes, stars and
an adorable duck. This book is complete
with her usual easy-to-follow paper piecing
instructions, full sized patterns and tips.
She shows you how to frame the cute little
guys for gift or greeting cards and gives ideas for fabric projects. Mix any
combination of the fifty or make several the same. Maybe a row of the ducks!
KAFFE FASSETT’S QUILTS IN SWEDEN
$24.95
Breathtaking photography, fabulous fabrics
and inspirational quilts. Pretty enough to be
a coffee table book, but you’ll want to make
every one of the twenty quilts. Kaffe and his
designers tell sensational color stories that
bring simple layouts to life. Do not miss this
book. ( His name rhymes with “safe”.)
CREATE YOUR OWN FREE-FORM QUILTS
by Rayna Gillman $27.95
Rayna sets you on a course for creating fun,
funky original quilts by getting you to just start
sewing strips. Discover how to spontaneously
combine units and design as you go. Start
from scratch or reinvent U.F.Os with strips and
bits. You’ll love this book.
