It is the summer’s great last heat,
It is the fall’s first chill: They meet.
–Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt
Tomorrow morning very early is the Autumnal. Equinox. With official Fall here, can the annual Quilts Etc. Sale be far away? One month from today, the sale will be over and the Quilters at First will be recovering — and looking through their stash and patterns for their next projects!
Erin did a great job creating this post card to advertise our sale with all the important details.
And do not doubt the phrase “hundreds of handcrafted items”. Our cabinets and cupboard are crammed full. There are many more quilts than available racks. But quilters are nothing, if not creative, so come see how all those quilts are displayed!
In many households, this time of the year means “football”; Friday night high school games under the lights, Saturday college games with tail gating parties and televised pro games all day Sunday. And if your team wins the Super Bowl the previous season, the pitch reaches new levels. We are in Kansas City Chiefs territory, last year’s champions. Many folks may not be able to name three Supreme Court judges, but most could identify Mahomes, Kelce, and Jones!
Celebrating a win–this quilt bought at a previous Quilt Sale–hangs in our stair well.
The Quilters at First have some Chief theme items that would make great gifts for your favorite Chief’s fan–or for you when you host a Chief game watch party!
For the grill chief or chili maestro, we have aprons that will fit men or women. Both aprons have adjustable neck straps and long waist ties.
The ticking apron has three large pockets to hold all the grilling tops or pot holders needed. Each apron is $30.
Potholders with hanging loops in the back have a layer of Insul-Bright which protect your hands and the table. $8 each
Table runners give a special touch to your table or party.
This runner is 18″ x 40″..lots of space to load with your favorite game day treats. The back to another Chief’s print. $50
This one is also backed with a Chief’s print. Measuring 14″ x 40″, it would fit most tables and could be used all season long! $45
At our sale we will also have Chief’s pennants and some bowl cozies.
Recently lots of new items were posted in the Photo Gallery as well as the Christmas Photo and Fall Photo Gallery.
After a long hot summer, most people will list autumn as their favorite season. And two great events to anticipate during these transitional months are football games and the Quilts Etc. Sale.
