Sylvia’s Scribblings…
Dust off your sewing machines and craft drawers and dig
out some of your calico stash ‘cause our talented teachers
have come up with 16 new classes! They’re on the first two
pages of this schedule so read on, check your calendars and
call, click, or come on in to sign –up. Quilt camp is starting
its’ 24th year with a totally new pattern for this years campers.
The model will be done soon; maybe by the time you read
this. Another advanced camp is on deck with a quicker quilt
than last year so the students will have time to learn a bit of
machine quilting, and, of course we have the ever-popular
classes for the even younger sewers.
In case you were wondering, Patty Korn won the $110 gift
certificate from our 110th Anniversary Sale.
We really have fun in the Forest; our next event is the
hanging of the Hoffman Challenge. We will have these 36-40

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
original wall quilts up for your viewing from March 3rd
until the 15th. And, of course, Lovey’s birthday party (shop
dog) is a big event with discounts and dog and human
treats. If you enjoy the gratification of making something
that raises money for a cause we’re doing “dog quilts” again.
They’ll be hanging as a silent auction in the Forest and it’s
neighboring shops most of June. The money made goes to
Fences for Fido, purchasing supplies for building fences
for chained dogs.
And, on to a new event, Quilts of Valor. Catherine Roberts,
whose son was deployed in Iraq in 2003, started quilts of
Valor. She remembered that returning Vietnam War vets of
her generation had often been treated poorly and she wanted
current returning combat vets to be received differently.
Catherine started by simply making a quilt and giving
it to a soldier. Now the QOV Foundation, a nonprofit, has
presented more than 34,000 quilts. Several fabric companies
are creating Americana themed fabrics and they’re on
their way into the Forest. More info on kits for quilts as the
fabric arrives. Save June 25th and plan to come sew a quilt
for a wounded soldier. Beginners and more experienced
welcome, sign-up like a class to reserve a space.
Our bus trip to the Sister’s Outdoor Quilt show in July
is always a hit, jump on board. Quiltopia in early October
will give you a chance to show or sell a quilt. We have
chosen the theme for our Quiltopia shop challenge, GREEN
WITH ENVY, start creating early and strut your stuff. We’ve
moved our trip to Ireland to June of 2012; more time for
you to plan to travel with us and, the opportunity to attend
the International Quilt Festival in Galway. Our weekly
e-club will keep you up-dated on all these happenings and
the latest fabric arrivals. www.quiltedforest.com, click on
the “email” button at the top of the home page.
So much new fabric and fun new books, I have to stop
scribbling and sew. We’d really love to see you in the Forest,
but if you can’t make it in, remember to visit our web site,
we have free shipping on most items.
Keep on Quilting!

CaN’T lIVe WITHOUT ‘eM NOTIONs
STEAM-A-SEAM-2 ¼” x 40 yards $4.99
Sticks temporarily (both sides) when
applied, bonds permanently when ironed.
My favorite must-have use is; the final step
of binding, fusing it permanently to the
quilt, finish by hand or machine. Works
great for quick hems too.
TURN-IT-ALL $9.99
No more safety pins, just remember to sew across one end of
your tube and use one set of these tubes and sticks to quickly
turn your item with no-ooo frustration. Hand bag, flip-flop, even
spaghetti straps, doll parts, quilting decorations and more. Easy
to follow directions included.
ADD-A-QUARTER RULER with its specially
designed ¼” lip. $6.99 Don’t even try paper
piecing without this tool. Great instructions
for its use in foundation piecing included with
the ruler.
THE SNAP SETTER $9.99 The snap setter
is just so much fun, take out your aggressions
and snap up your totes, little wallets or even
clothes. It’s easy to use, and comes with some
practice snaps and easy to follow instructional
pictures.
“KARLA’S RULERS” from $18.99 to $33.99 made
by Creative Grid, designed by Karla Alexander, you’ll
want all four. They come with little instruction packets,
but also go with many of Karla’s “Saginaw Street” quilt
patterns and her COLOR SHUFFLE book. Look for
the fun models we’re making using these tools.

BOOK reVIeWs
STACK THE DECK REVISITED
by Karla Alexander
$18.99
So you have Karla’s first book, so what, or
maybe that should be sew what? You’ll need
this one too. The updating is so complete with
new ideas and designs you’ll want to make most
of the quilts in this book. Karla uses the stacked
crazy quilt block from her first book, but each of
these 11 new beauties takes a charming turn
of it’s own. At this writing we have the cover
quilt hanging in our center window, come see.
10 MINUTE BLOCKS
by Suzanne McNeill
$16.99
Even faster than “Quilt in a Day”, these Texas
quilters really know how to trot. And, the
finished quilt appears to have curved seams,
creating the image of hours of labor. Suzanne
shows samples in large and small prints and
there is a YouTube video of the process incase
you go there. Sylvia is teaching this method
in one of her free, two hour Gift classes, so if
you’re really (really) focused, you could make
12 blocks! Great for quick gifts, donation or
college quilts even if you like more intricate work
THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PATCHWORK
by Elizabeth Hartman
$24.95
If you need a beginning, “tell you everything
to purchase and make a quilt book”, this is
it, plus it’s beautiful. Elizabeth’s models use
clear bold designer fabrics, mixed with just
enough creamy white to create the “Modern
Look” that has recently immerged. Most of her
charming designs are beginning, with a few
intermediate, but they’ll draw you in with their
color and simplicity. A fabulous gift for a new
quilter, maybe even you.
