2010 update

Hi all,

The store is filled with samples of quilts from classes. There's a number of quilt kits available and they are just gorgeous! There are some classes coming up:

Thursday, November 18th, 10 am T-Shirt Quilt
Monday, November 22, 10 am Hearts & Stars
Tuesday, November 23 10 am Christmas Table Runner

Please call the store for more information, the classes cost $40 each.

Classes

We have a calender up at the store with classes that Ruth is teaching during the days. She has Stack and Whack, Turning Twenty and Trip Around the World. If one isn't scheduled on a day you'd like, please talk to her about scheduling another time and day.

Classes are $40 for the day, starting about 10:15 am or 10:30 am.

Beginning Sewing Class

Ruth is looking for students interested in her Beginning Sewing class. If you or someone you know has been talking about learning to sew this is the class for you.

Serger Classes

Yvonne Hylander has let us know she has completed the Serger Licencing from Martha Pullen and has 22 different project sheets from the week long session. So if there's any technique you've been wanting to learn send us a list and we can schedule classes. Also include which day of the week you're available as well as the time. Examples of classes are: Heirloom quilts, baby items (quilt, night gown, booties), beginner serging, lace blouse, etc. I'd like to do a beginner's class on a Wednesday or Friday so I hope others will put down those days!

The basic fee is a steal at $20 for a day class. Class size will be 2-5 students.

This is very exciting and I know we'll get a great response.

Teachers Wanted

We are looking for people to teach classes during the fall and winter. As you know our Winter Texans will start returning in October and we'd like to get a class schedule set up for those months. We've had people asking for beginner classes, garment sewing classes, using sergers and I'm sure there's a number of different projects that would be of interest.

We have a form that outlines our guidelines plus giving us the information to pass on to students. If you have samples we could display them in our classroom and digital pictures could be posted in the blog.

If you have any suggestions please pass them along as we'd love to make this a great season for learning and sharing.

Guidelines For Classes

1. Class fees are due when you register for the class.
2. Supplies should be purchased at the store.
3. In case of class cancellation, you should be notified 2 days in advance.

If you are interested in a class but can not make the scheduled time let us know and we will try to schedule a separate class. To facilitate this you might get a few other interested students as there is a minimum number of students needed to have a class.

Thanks!

Beginning Sewing with Ruth

This class is only scheduled when we have requests from people wanting it. So we encourage you to get some friends together for a fun night of learning. Just a warning there will be homework! ☺

The classes will be 3 consecutive Tuesdays @ 6:00 pm and the duration is 1.5 hours. The fee will be $40 for 3 classes plus kits to be purchased at the store.

The 3 projects will be:

1. Pillowcase. Learn how to pin, iron and use the sewing machine.
2. Sew and quilt a bag using 5 fat quarters (19"x22") of cotton fabric.
3. Pajama shorts. Learn about patterns and cutting (sewing will be done at home).
