BLOCKS OF THE MONTH
Saturday Sampler – Winter Fun Our new Saturday Sampler starts October 4, 2014. This winter-themed wall hanging will allow you to try out and learn several quilting techniques. How does a Saturday Sampler work? -Your sign up fee of $35.00 covers your pattern and your first kit. -Attend the demonstration at 10 am or 11 am with your completed block from the previous month and receive the next kit for FREE. -If you miss the demo or do not bring your completed block your next kit is $6.00. What does the quilt look like? We run this program in a mystery format. Now, don't let that deter you. We specially select the fabric for your kits to complement the pattern. We will tell you that the theme is winter and we will be using a lot of blues and some reds. Previous participants have been clamoring for us to run another Saturday Mystery. They loved that the quilt is not twelve square blocks that may never get made into a quilt. Each month we will make a section of the quilt and some months we will also put sections together. By the last month the center of your quilt will be assembled. We will have many options for your borders (not included in the price). Please join us for a year of fun and surprises!
