I'm Back

After a long (gasp) time period, I have gotten back to my blog. I can't believe I have let it go for so long but alas..... Anyway, I'm glad to be back and hope you will enjoy hearing what The Yarn Basket and Quilt Shop is doing for 2011!!!



Check out the class page and come join our quilting groups on first monday of every month, our Mystery Quilt class on Feb 5th and our Shop Hop in March 23-26. ALSO coming, our Valentines present to all of you quilters is to have a sale. More information to follow as we are working on t he details now.



In the Yarn: Come join us at our Annual Winter Retreat. Choose one of 6 classes offered and join fellow knitters for a grrrreat day of fun. Here are the classes offered:



  1. 14 inch pillow where you learn 5 different stitches

  2. French Press slippers, felted cute as can be slippers that fit and stay on

  3. Ruffled edge wristlets, great for texting

  4. Malabrigo vest, learn inc, dec, pu stitches and more

  5. Ruffled Purse: so much fun and great to carry all your treasures in

  6. DPN Socks, yes this one is done on double points.

If you want to come, call us 712-792-2890 and tell us what you want to take. $45 includes lunch, class instructor fees and a gift from us. Chocolate, pop and coffee are of course on the house!


Then watch for our Monthly clubs we are working on. We will mail you yarn and patterns for any and all of the following clubs that will start in February: VEST club (very easy sleeveless tops, which could include shrugs as well as vests); Sock club (sock yarn but maybe not a sock pattern as there are LOTs to do with sock yarn as well as make socks): Fresh from the Basket Club (we are really excited about this one as we have Lorna's Laces making us a color all our own); and Luxery club (one skein projects with yarns that are so yummy!!!)


Quilting Monthly clubs will also start in February and will include a kids one, wool one (yes, we are finally getting started on this one) and a Moda Batiks. The clubs range from 5 to 10 months. Then in May, we will have a Halloween and then in the summer a Christmas one.


Promise to write often, til then hope to see you in the shop and stay warm. Remember, this weather is great to sew or knit.
