6TH ANNUAL HIGH DESERT
QUILT SHOW
Can
you believe it, this will be our 6th
annual quilt show. It hardly seems
possible. This year the show will
be the 10th, 11th,
and 12th of July. It is
time to start thinking of the quilts
you will be exhibiting at our show.
We would like to have the quilts the
first week of July in order to get
them ready to be exhibited. We
accept old ones and new ones and
ones in between. If you have any
questions, just call us.
CLASSES
Class Notes: To take quilting
classes there is a certain
proficiency required. At the
beginning of the “Beginning” classes
we will teach rotary cutting
techniques. All students need to be
comfortable with their sewing
machine. For the “Intermediate” and
“Advanced” classes you need to have
been quilting for awhile and be very
comfortable with a rotary cutter and
using a ¼” seam
Tools needed for all classes are
a sewing machine in good working
order, rotary cutter, pins, seam
ripper, cutting mat and ruler.
There may be other specific items
needed for a particular class.
These will be listed on a supply
list.
Pre-registration is required and
all classes need to be paid for at
registration, if there is a fee.
This will ensure that there is space
available for you. The minimum
class size is 3 and the maximum is
8, unless the instructor agrees to
more students.
Barbara and LaDonna will be teaching
classes/demos until Patty comes back
in the Spring. Most of them will be
easy and quick classes or demos.
Demos will be free. There will not
be a 15% discount on fabric and
patterns for these. Some of them
will have patterns supplied. The
fabric and patterns need to be
purchased here. There will be a
charge for the intermediate and
advanced classes.
Unless we have a scheduled class,
every Saturday is a “Free Sew
Saturday”.
