Morning Everone!
The time has finally come and we will be setting off on our journey on Thursday about lunch time. This will be Sandra's first time at quilt market (and of course mine as well) and we are both very excited. Everyone tells us the first time you go it is overwhelming...we can't wait. I am taking my computer with me along with a camera. I am going to attempt to take some pictures and show ya'll as much as I can while we are there. We are very excited about what new we can bring back with us to share with all of our friends here at the quilt shop.
Just a reminder, the shop will be CLOSED on Saturday, October 27th. Ms. Margaret will have the shop open on Friday the 26th, Monday and Tuesday, the 29th and 30th unless some unforeseen emergency arises. You may want to give the shop a call and make sure she is going to be there if you are driving from some distance away to be on the safe side.
Okay, a quick update on the class schedule. The Jelly Roll Race class is full on November 10th as of right now. We have had so much interest in this class, we are scheduling an additional Jelly Roll Race class for Saturday, December 8th from 9:00 to 11:30ish. Cost is $20 per person. You need to bring your sewing machine, basic sewing supplies including a ruler, a marking implement and either a good pair of scissors or a rotary cutter. You will also need to bring a jelly roll. We have some at the store for purchase at $34.95 or if you have one already, you are of course welcome to bring it with you. We have four other ladies who want to take this class and if the 8th works for their schedule, we will only have room for one more. If there is still further interest, we will schedule another one but we need to know who is definitely interested. Please give the store a call at 931-682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com.
The Beginner's Machine Applique class is scheduled for Saturday, November 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30ish. The cost is $25 per person. A list of supplies will be available. We will be using the Sunbonnet Sue / Overall Sam AccuQuilt Go cutouts for our class. We have these available with Steam A Seam already applied for $2.00 per cutout. You will need six cutouts for the class. You can bring your own fabric and Steam A Seam and use our cutter to make them out of your own fabric for $.50 per cutout. We have two ladies interested and need at least one more scheduled for the class to go ahead. We have room for five people, total. If you are interested in taking the Dresden Plate class in January and have no experience whatsoever with machine applique, this would be a good class as the Dresden block in the class will also be machine appliqued.
As noted above, our Dresden Plate class is scheduled for Saturday, January 19th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The cost of the class is $30 per person. A list of supplies will be available at the store in the near future. Ms. Sandra has ordered the Dresden cutting die for the AccuQuilt Go cutter and it will be here in the next little while. I will show you how to cut them with the ruler during the class, as well. We will prepare one complete Dresden block to get you started on your way to one of the most beautiful quilt pattens. We have one lady signed up for this class to date.
Again, a big shout out and a thank you to the ladies who just finished my very first Beginner's Quilting Class. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to see what your finished quilts look like after all your hard work. I will be posting pictures as soon as they are completed so everyone can see and enjoy all your hard work.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend....and we'll be talking to you soon!
Melissa (one of Sandra's Elves)
