sew day

You asked for it ~ now we are doing it!

FREE Sew Day

Every Wednesday 

beginning

September 18

10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Bring your sewing project, whatever you want to work on, your sewing machine, rotary cutter and ruler. SKJ will provide the electricity, iron, and cutting boards.

This is what I need to work on

It's just a bit of quick sewing, I need to finish putting the sashing on this vintage quilt.  But I promised myself not to begin another project until I finished one.  Have you said that yourself before?? I bet you have!

I hope to see you next Wednesday! Bring a friend or come and meet a new one.

tuesday demo

Sew Katie Jean is getting ready for our 2nd Anniversary! Can you believe it?!?  

We are going to have a special sale going on...

AND ~ we will be doing FREE demo's all week.

Come in on Tuesday, Sept. 10 to see how the Twister Tool works, and how you can make the quilt in the photo!

It is a fun - hot new tool. That looks fussy, but it isn't.

 Remember my mom's first quilt??

It's a Twister.

So come by for our Anniversary fun! There will be a sale, food, giveaways, demos, and food.

Yes I said food twice.  See you!

girl's of summer

All summer long SKJ held classes to teach the young ladies of Placer County how to sew by hand and machine.  Thanks to our very own Tessie Takehara, these are some of her students and a bit of what they learned to make.

Thank you to all the girls that we have met this summer! I hope you have enjoyed your classes and continue to love fabric and continue to grow in your love of sewing.

hot cocoa

Sew Katie Jean is celebrating our 2nd Anniversary!

By raffling this Hot Cocoa quilt.  This is our second year at raffling a quilt.  When you come in to buy your ticket we are also selling the pattern ($1.99) and the layer cake ($38.99) plus have weekly classes ($5. each) for you to make it yourself.

When I saw this pattern, I asked each of our SKJ teachers to sew up a block and asked our favorite quilter, Cindy Lloyd to work her magic for some custom quilting.  I thought everyone would love to buy a ticket for a chance to win a Christmas quilt.  You can keep it yourself or give it as a gift!  We should be pulling the winning ticket by October.

The money we raise is going to the Lincoln Lighthouse Resource and Counseling Center.  Last year we donated $500. I would love if we could double that amount this year!  Come in and get your $1. raffle ticket to win a quilt and support a great Lincoln organization that helps our local families.
