When Life Hand You Alzheimer's, Make Aprons!
Victoria's now has in stock the great book by Gwen O'Leary, When Life Hands You Alzheimer's, Make Aprons, the story of her mother's last months struggling with the debilitating disease. Despite everything, Gwen and her sister found that the one thing they could still connect to their mother with was sewing aprons! Whether or not your life has somehow been affected by Alzheimer's, this truthful and warm story is about the reality of growing older and the healing aspects of the arts. |

The Apron of the Month Club!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The holidays are coming up and Aprons make a great gift. Kwik Sew is doing a great job of keeping up with apron fashions, and best of all they are fun and easy to make. So, with Patty's help there is going to be a different apron to do every month!
I've organized the apron club just a little bit differently-
You can participate in one of three different ways, or all three, or two, it's up to you!
Here's how it is being offered:
1. Take the class for $36.95 and this includes the precut kit.
2. Buy the pattern and selected premeasured fabrics, the cost of this will vary due to the fact that the patterns are different prices and the fabric requirements are all different.
3. The completed, finished aprons will be available in extremely limited quantities for purchase at a cost of $42.95
The best part is that we can schedule a time to work on this when it's best for you. Just give us a call and we can schedule a class! |

CLASSES
Please note that we now require that all kits and classes be prepaid.
Knitted Purse (or bag!)
Over-the-shoulder Bag
Come learn how to make this convenient and stylish bag- we have a variety of beautiful fabrics perfect for this project! Call to schedule a time.
Baby Buddies!
These cuties are on display at the store and are waiting to go home with you! Or customize your own and order a doll for your little one.
If you're interested in learning how to make your own, we can set up a class time that works with your schedule!
Quilts for Charities
We like to get together with our scrap fabrics and put together quilts that we can donate to people who need them! We give the charity the quilt OR we sell the quilt for $50 and that money goes directly to the charity. Some simple and beautiful quilts have come out of this endeavor. If you'd like to join us in giving back to others, please call to find out more information!
The Kaleidoscope Quilt
We are offering two versions of a Kaleidoscope quilt. Boy, are these things addicting! I just couldn't stop putting the blocks together! Every one turned out so totally different. You need to see them to believe it.
The class fee is $30.00 and must be prepaid as space is limited. There are three classes.
Please come in and get your fabric picked out and paid for so it can all be measured, ready to stack, pin and cut.

KNITTING with BRANDY
Victoria's is proud to now offer knitting classes with instructor Brandy Sears of the All Thumbs Knitting Guild! She'll be offering classes in beginning knitting, Magic Loop projects, wraps, shawls, lace, cables, Entrelac and more! Best part is that you can get your yarns and needles right here at the store! We have an ever growing selection!
Beginning Knitting:
The Felted Bag
New to knitting? Not a problem! This project is ideal as it'll teach you how to hold your yarn and needles and get comfortable with the knitted stitch. Students learn how to knit in the round, knit flat (back and forth) and how to make an L-cord. When we're done you'll have a bad ready for toting your next project in!
Beginner Plus to Intermediate Knitting:
Students should have basic understanding of knitting: identifying right and wrong sides of fabric, knitting in the round and simple increasing and decreasing.

Sampler Quilt- Block of the Month
This is not a quilt for the faint of heart! But, by doing a block a month, you have plenty of time to tackle even the most challenging blocks.
The precut squares will be ready the 4th Saturday of the month for a fee of $5.00.
If you want to do this you will need to come in and pay in advance for the block and choose one of the three color ways you would like to do. Each month you will pay in advance for the next months block. There are twelve blocks in all. Once we get to the sashing and the quilt assembly I will have the sashing and corner stones available and will schedule a class for finishing the quilts.
The colors are--- red, orange, yellow and white (shown above)
Aqua, light brown, pale orange and off white
Burgundy, teal, gold and ecru
Please come in and see the color choices each set will make an out standing quilt!
