LINDA'S NOTES

Spring Seminar -- February 26, 27 & 28

We weren't sure whether we should call this seminar a WINTER or SPRING seminar given the late February date. Even knowing that snow and cold will still probably be in the weather forecast for the end of February, we decided to go with the more hopeful Spring title for this seminar. You can call it whatever you want to, just be sure to plan to join us for a fun time of quilting.

All of us at Quintessential Quilts are excited to welcome teacher Jan Krueger for this event. Beyond developing patterns, Jan applies her more than 25 years experience in the fabric arts to offer patchwork classes and lectures for both guilds and shops. Her timeless concepts and techniques-inspired by long time mentor Mary Ellen Hopkins- bring satisfaction and ensure success for quilters of all levels, beginners to experts.

Jan is providing instructions and tips for making the seminar project Almost Twilight - a striking unpublished quilt designed by Sandy Heminger, Akron, Ohio for the quilter who is a little beyond beginner. You will strip piece, learn 3-D Connectors and finish with a piano key border. Jan will be there to teach you each step and answer any questions along the way. Your fabric choices determine a contemporary or traditional look. High contrast stars set off your design. Precutting is suggested. You will make excellent progress on a lap, wall hanging or bed sized quilt during this weekend seminar.

Call Quintessential Quilts TODAY to reserve your sewing space and for more information regarding this annual event.

As usual, a block of rooms are available at The Voyageur Inn. Call 800-444-4493 to reserve your room.

QQ's Quilters Delightful Cookbook

So many of you bring the most delicious dishes, desserts, beverages and snacks to your classes. We often hear "can I get that recipe?" so we've decided it's time to put together a cookbook. If you have a favorite recipe you would like to share with fellow quilters, we can make it happen.

Drop off, mail or email your recipe(s) - as many as you wish to share - and we will put them together in a cookbook available in 2011.

"Quilting Football League" is Back

No, you don't need to know anything about football! This program is designed to bring quilters and quilt shops together for fun, quilting, classes, charity, travel & discounts.

The Quilting Football League (QFL) started in 2007 in Wisconsin with a group of 6 shops. In 2009 more than 50 shops in 3 states joined the fun. This season, the QFL is going national! All registered players will have a chance to win many prices offered by QFL Management. Here are some of the prizes:

¨ What a Deal Purse Cards: Starting in April 2010 2 lucky players will win a set each month. Make hundreds of different purses from this set of cards (Retail value $19.99).

Buck-A-Block

Back by popular demand...again! This sampler quilt blocks are set with star and rail fence blocks. It's easy to participate in this fun quilting opportunity. First you call QQ to sign up ASAP because space is limited. Then you visit the shop each month to purchase a $1.00 block kit.

On your first visit to QQ you will purchase a package of Thangles (used to make all your blocks). You will also receive your first block kit for $1.00. Each block kit includes two strips of pre-cut fabric and the directions for making that month's block. It's that easy!

Quintessential Quilts Invitation

Our teachers share a special bond with you in that, if you are eager to learn, they are eager to teach you everything they know. We hope you will consider taking a class with us. We regularly offer new classes plus many regular favorites. Our large classroom sets us apart from other quilt shops...there's plenty of room for you to come have some fun quilting!

Our teachers also often wish they knew what you most wanted to learn. So, if you see something in the shop or have a particular quilting skill that you really want to learn, talk to your quilting friends, gather a group together of at least three people and we will attempt to set up a class for you as soon as possible.

Don't miss this opportunity to create the class that you would like us to offer!
