Happy April Stripologists!

The annual GE Designs "Strip Along" with Gudrun will begin April 21st. This year she took one of her patterns from 2006, updated and stripologized it. The pattern is called Strip Cocktail and a picture is below. Here's are the details - purchase the pattern and the 3 part video masterclass as a bundle. The videos will be released live on GE's Tipsy Tuesdays beginning April 21 and wil be added your GE Account after each release. The pattern will be available to you after your purchase.

To participate:

• Purchase the pattern and video through GE Designs before April 21st for $12.95 (After that it goes to $17.95) OR,
• Purchase the pattern and video (HERE) through Uptown Blanco Textile Studio before April 21 for $12.95, OR, 
• Spend $60 or more (pre-tax) at the Textile Studio and the Strip Along pattern and video is our gift to you. But you must request it when you make the purchase. This is valid for online and in-store purchases.

If you make the purchase through the Textile Studio, I will provide you with the pattern so you can have your fabric ready to go by April 21. Now's the time to find that Jelly Roll in your stash, purchase a new one, or this can also be made by cutting your own strips in advance (it's a great scrappy strip quilt pattern!) If you have any questions, ask!!
