| December 2025 Quilt Sampler Block - Carrie Nation
 The December 2025 Quilt Sampler Block is named Carrie Nation. This simple but beautiful block is made with Four-Patch units of various sizes. You can make these simply by cutting squares, or you can make them with a strip-piecing method to make all the identical ones at once. The tutorial for this method is here. If you need help making any other quilt block components, check out my full Quilt Block Tutorial Library.
If you use fabrics which we can identify as having been purchased from Charmed Needles at any time, you make at least a 12" block, and you finish it by December 31, I will give you $3.75 in store credit. That is the average price of my Fat Quarters, so you essentially get a free Fat Quarter if you make the block!
There is no charge for this program, and there is no commitment for you to do every single block. Make the blocks you want to make and have time to make, then bring your finished block into the shop, email me a picture of it, or send me a Facebook message with a picture.

Ongoing Block of the Month Programs
Dazzle, Allure, and Jingle Bell Pines Block of the Month programs have already started, but there is still room for additional participants in each of them. You will need to contact me directly, if you wish to sign up, as I will have to manually override my system which thinks it should close registrations after the first class date.

Upcoming Spring Shop Hops!
It's time to start planning your Spring Road Trips to go Shop Hopping! We participate in two Shop Hops each Spring!
-
The Second Annual All Pacific Northwest Shop Hop will be April 1 to May 31, 2026, and will have 124 participating shops all over Oregon, Washington, and Idaho! If it sounds like a lot, don't worry, there are several tiers of prizes available for making it to various numbers of the shops, so it is still very manageable.
- The 24th Annual Treasure Shop Hop will be April 23 to May 2, 2026. This year, in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the USA, our theme is America 250. We will have nine participating shops along the I-84 Corridor, from La Grande, Oregon, to Mountain Home, Idaho.

Want to stitch and socialize? Have a brief question on any technique? Bring any fiber arts project and come down to the shop to work on it. Open Stitch is every Friday during business hours.
The third Friday of most months, we extend Open Stitch late into the night, and we call it Quilt Till You Wilt. We will stay until the last person leaves. Bring one or several fiber arts projects and come socialize through the night. Feel free to bring food to share, as well.
