The guy on the left is Mr. Mouse! He's the one smiling and
handing me money! Way to go Bob. Bob's favorite outfit in
College was his black and white buffalo plaid shirt and
blue jeans! The fellow on the far right is my Dad, always
waiting patiently for us to finish shopping. We don't know
who the man in the middle is, but I think he could be
someone's husband? Does he resemble anyone you
know?

First day of classes for this semester. Boo. But, looking on the bright side, it's only 7 weeks till spring
break!! Not a bad schedule this semester. My day in the shop will be Tuesday with Thursdays as my
day to sew, be in the shop, etc. Wednesdays I'll be in in the afternoons. All will work out just fine.
Finished the Shop Hop quilt today. Quilted and everything! Just have to do the border. It should be
going up on the NJ Shop Hop site soon. Just have to get enough of us together to hold it up so we
can get a really good picture to send in.
There will be a new block of the month coming that we haven't leaked out yet. Wait until you see
this one! We've put this one together ourselves and hope that you will enjoy our interpretation.
Sue's busy working on the Arts and Crafts Sampler BOM, I'm more than half way through the Sweet
Sixteen BOM and Lynn is working on the new one. So we are all really busy stitching. Its wonderful!
Starting to order fabrics for next Christmas, can you believe it! I'm so Christmased out! (is that a
word?) I can't even look at anymore cute snowmen, pointsettias, or cardinals. There will be a new
batik line coming in from Timeless Treasures that we will be kitting into a lovely organic style quilt.
Sue volunteered to do this one. So does that tell you something? She loved it! So watch for this
one. The fabric should be coming in soon.
Still getting items in from Quilt Market. So watch for some new decorator pillows. A new
pocketbook pattern came in this week and Lynn is busy tracking down the supplies for it. We fell in
love with it at Market. Haven't narrowed down the fabric to do it in. There are just so many choices
and I can only make 1 sample or there won't be any kits for anyone else!
Watch for a big sale between Christmas and New Years. Need to get this year's Holiday fabric OUT
the door to make way for the new ones that we ordering.
Remember, there's always something new at the Mouse!
See you soon,
Claire

HERE ARE THE DIRECTIONS FOR
THE EASIEST 1/2 SQUARE
TRIANGLES EVER!
FROM MISSOURI QUILT COMPANY
For all our Bonnie Hunter Scrap Quilters and anyone
else who hates making 1/2 square triangles. Put 2
squares, right sides together. Stitch 1/4" from the
edge all the way around the square. Then cut twice
on the diagonal. Voila! 4 perfect HST!! See our
Facebook page for more pictures.
Here is the formula and chart
If you have a square and want
to know what size HST it will make
Beginning Square Size x 0.64 =
HST size.
If you knew the size you needed
your HST to be, but wanted to
find out how big to cut your
beginning squares, you would
use this equation instead:
HST / 0.64 = Beginning Square
Size.
Always do a sample before you
cut all your fabric!

Celebrate Dr. Seuss and the Cat in the Hat! February is Dr. Seuss
month at school. This panel is just too cute not to make a small
wall hanging for your child/grandchild's classroom. How about a
snuggly quilt and a Dr. Seuss book? Wouldn't that be a great
surprise gift for a child? Lynn is making up a pattern that is quick
and simple. We will be kitting them up shortly.
