3 Dudes Quilting

Our program last night was presented by a new quilt shop to open soon in Awhatukee - 3 Dudes Quilting. They are in the location that used to be occupied by Quilter's Koop. They were a lot of fun and we look forward to visiting their shop when it opens - probably next week. They said they have 200 batiks, civil war fabrics, and more.

There are some free patterns available on their website, www.3dudesquilting.com, and the opening date will be posted there.

Fons & Porters at Tuesday Morning

I don't want to put ads for anyone on our website; but, I thought you might be interested to know that the Tuesday Morning stores have some quilting stuff. I went into the one on South Alma School Rd in Chandler with some friends yesterday. They have an aisle with craft items. I discovered some Fons & Porters directional pins for $1.99 a box (they list the regular price as $12.99 but I'm not sure what other stores sell or sold them for). They had a variety of Fons & Porters pins on one of the aisle ends at the back of the store. They also had some scissors, some Fiskars rulers, a Olfa rotary cutter, and a quilting tote bag. The craft stuff is all sort of intermingled so you have to look carefully to find things.
