Hopping Along!

Not only is the Easter Bunny right around the corner, the Crossing Borders Shop Hop is rapidly approaching!  The shop hop begins on April 30th and continues through May 7th.  There are 9 shops in the SE Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota region that are participating in this fun event. 

We currently have a small group of Prairie Threaders that are interested in hopping, or at least carpooling, to several of the stores on Saturday, April 30th.  If you are interested in joining us, please let us know.  Not only will you get to see shops that you may not have the opportunity to visit very often, but you'll also score a free runner pattern and pewter charm (while supplies last), at each shop.  

The shops involved are:

Fabrics Plus, Marshall, MN

The Sewing Basket, Luverne, MN

Prairie Quilting, Windom, MN
Crafty Corner, Worthington, MN
Lone Tree Legend Quilts, Lake Preston, SD
Always Your Design, Dell Rapids, SD
Canton Quilt Corner, Canton, SD
Dakota Quilt Shop, Watertown, SD
Dutch Rose Quilt Shop, Sioux Falls, SD

If we don't see you at the shop hop, we hope to see you at our next meeting on May 4th. 

Until then, Hoppy Sewing and ...

We Have a Name!

Yippee!  It's official, we have a name for our once nameless quilt guild.  For some folks it wasn't a big deal, but for others, it provided a sense of identity for our new group.


The Prairie Threads Quilt Guild meets on the 1st Wednesday of the month, at 7 pm at the Canton Quilt Corner in Canton, SD - you can't miss it - the building looks like this:

It's a really cool old brick building that used to be home to a bank.  It's now home to our hosts, Lori & Bob, owners of Canton Quilt Corner.  The old bank vaults hold a whole new kind of valuables now- fabric!  Stop by and say hi to Lori and Bob, or come join us for a Prairie Threads quilt guild meeting.  I think you'll have fun either way!  Cheers!
