Ryan's Case For Smiles - Mops Event
2026-09-26 12:00 - 15:00 | RI
Ryan’s Case for Smiles (https://caseforsmiles.org/) provides children facing life changing illnesses with whimsical pillowcases that give them an emotional boost and remind them they are not defined by their illnesses. This simple gift provides proven emotional benefits by offering distraction, reducing stress, and inspiring hope for children and their families. A small gesture can make a huge impact!
Join us at Blaine’s on Saturday September 26, from 12:00–3:00 p.m. as we sew pillowcases for these young patients.
Please bring your sewing machine or serger, along with scissors, pins, and any other basic sewing supplies. We’ll demonstrate several methods for finishing the pillowcases, and all pillowcase kits will be provided.
A suggested cash donation of $10 (or $5, if preferred) to benefit Ryan’s Case for Smiles would be greatly appreciated but not required.

Color Theory
2026-09-30 10:30 - 13:30 | RI
Do you have trouble picking out coordinating fabrics for your quilting projects? This class will explore color value, tints, shades and tones. We will use the 3 -in -1 Color Tool by Joen Wolfrom (available at Blaine’s) to select fabrics that work well together. Please bring a selection of fabrics to work with. Choose a focus fabric and 6 to 10 pieces that you might use in a project. We will work together to determine the final choices. Your fabric swatches can be as big as you like.
