We have Class!


We have lots of classes coming up - including one this weekend with Mary Beth Krapil. There is still space but time is running out so call to reserve your spot.


Our Two Step Connect is 3/9 and 3/10. We are partnering with Pinwheels in Croton-on-Hudson to have a customer scavenger hunt, PLUS both stores have parts of a quilt pattern that was specially designed for this weekend. Get the complete pattern by visiting both stores. Fill in the scavenger hunt and receive a prize. Join us for this really fun weekend.

3/10 is our next $5 BOM class and there is VERY little space left. 

All in all we are very busy these days. New fabrics continue to arrive daily, which inspire the ladies to create amazing projects and they usually turn into classes.

If you are not on our mailing list be sure to email us your email address - you'll get the latest news and happenings from the Quilt Basket.

Oh My Stars

We are proud to have another quilt published!. Our Feathered Star is featured in the latest Quilt Trends magazine. Cathy took a very traditional pattern and used contemporary batiks by Island Batiks. This shot does not show the star that well. We will be loading more pictures.

Babies bring out the best in everyone! Sarah has just completed this adorable Bopple Ball for her niece. You have to love the bright colors on it.
If you have created a toy for your kids, post the pictures here - we'd love to see them.

The Good Kind of Fat

There were smiles, tears, and shouts of joy over the weekend - and that was just for the commercials! The football game wasn't too bad either. What was bad was a computer glitch we had here that prevent the online Fat Quarter Sale from going live when it was supposed to.






Our geek glitch is your extended sale! Cathy is going to keep the Fat Quarter Sale going until 2/14. Online ONLY. Take advantage of 10-packs of Fat Quarters for only $12.50 PLUS flat rate shipping - SCORE!

For our local shoppers - Cathy and Allan are preparing for the show circuit which means all new HQ systems for us and special pricing on our demos for you. Our HQ Avante ProStitcher and Fusion systems that were used as demos are now priced to move. Please contact Allan for pricing information. 845 227 7606.

You might be a huge football fan or you might just watch the game for the commercials. We use the Super Bowl as an excuse to have a Fat Quarter Sale. All pre-cut Fat Quarters are on sale for $1.25 February 3rd - 5th.
