Maple Leaf

  The snow has melted or maybe the wind has blown it away.  I forget how windy the fall can be.  The leaves have all moved to the next state.  So how appropriate that today's block is Ozark Maple Leaf.  Once again a great block of squares and HST.

Country Music

  Yes, I like country music.  Just watched the CMA awards, in which I enjoyed all the performers.  I do enjoy all types of music but country is my favorite.  I like the old twangy sound of the old singers that I listen to with my dad.  The country singers of the 60's and 70's that my mom like and everything since then.  Maybe my enjoyment is related to the memories with my parents, a little two stepping or foxtrot with my mother in the kitchen to Eddie Arnold or Charlie Pride.  My parents were avid square dancers, sometime I got to tag along.
  This block is in their honor--Square Dance.  Make the sides using the same method as making flying geese.  You will have extra fabric on the sides of the geese.  After the geese are made, check to make sure they measure 4 1/2" to match the center square.  Trim a little if necessary.

Sturgis has it's own attractions.   

Visitors flock to Ft. Meade,

Bear Butte

Poker Alice's House

The Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame

and the Indian Motorcycle store.

We get our fair share of tourists, too.  Those who have seen us on our YouTube tutorials, caught us on Facebook, or read our great reviews on TripAdvisor often show up to meet Terry in person and to shop in our 2400 square foot store.

As we ready ourselves for our guests, we also look forward to offering our new exclusive Sturgis fabric.  Every year, we partner with Robert Kaufman to create a one-of-a-kind fabric only available at Fabric Junction.  We will have this in the store by the end of June.

In the meantime, we are once again offering a brand new line at a great discount.

This Wednesday, our new line of Longfellow by Windsor Fabrics is on sale.  13 handsome patterns comprising of pocket watches, quills, and antique postage stamp prints, this fabric is perfect for any vintage themed project.  Regularly $12.20.  Now only $9.75.
