Posted by: malke.y on: June 13, 2010
I think I’ve mentioned it before but I’m going to throw it out again, maybe this time someone willl catch it. Anyone interested in starting a guild? Meeting to be held on a weeknight instead of on Saturdays. I know there are alot of Sabbath observers in Brooklyn that are also quilters. Would someone like to get the ball rolling? We can use the store as a stepping off point. Email me please.

I’m having [complaining] burn-out. It’s again the time of year for me to start thinking about another newsletter. I came up with the great idea of not sending out a whole newsletter but instead only a postcard with a burning match on it. The idea was nixed by one and all, too bad.
Dear Jane Quilts: Here We Come!
Posted by: malke.y on: September 23, 2009
At the store, we started a Dear Jane class. Although we had only six people register, we all became dedicated Janiacs, and we are enjoying every minute of it. I, in particular, took off with those little cute blocks and I am making, or trying to make, two of each in different colorways to make them the same but to look different.

2009 Challenge Quilt #7 (All On Time)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 22, 2009
“I employed a variation of the log cabin block. My husband and I enjoy traveling to our favorite spots in the 5 boroughs by subway. “All On Time” was sewn in honor of an artist who was forced by the Great Depression to give up his scholorship to Pratt Institute to work as a NYC motorman. He later came out of retirement to work at a menial job to pay for the tuition of his daughter as a dance major in NYU so that she could fullfill her dream.”
Challenge Quilt Contest (Viewing Process)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 12, 2009
We had a Challenge Quilt. I will be posting the entries a couple a day. At the end of the postings I will create a poll. Being that this is a combination of in-store and online voting we will combine the two votes to come up with the winner. The winner get’s a cash prize, all the glory and media interviews!
The quilt needed to have two fabrics (I will post them soon), finished back and front with quilt batting and binding and can’t be more than 24 by 24 inches. One of the fabrics was a subway map and the other fabric had lots of people on it, hence the NYC connection. I will also post the explanations from the contestants.
