LINDA'S NOTES
Summer SEMINAR
June 11, 12 13
Voyageur Inn
Reedsburg, WI
All of us at Quintessential Quilts
are excited to welcome teacher Judy Hasheider for this
event.
Judy is a nationally known quilt
teacher who lives near Sauk City, Wisconsin. She has been
teaching quilting for almost 30 years. She focuses
mainly on traditional quilt patterns and in teaching
quilters "how to think." You'll have to come to the
seminar to find out what she means by that phrase.
Several of Judy's quilts have been
featured in national quilting magazines and she publishes
her own patterns as well.
The feature quilt project is
"Quodlibet." Webster's definition of "Quidlibet" is
whimsical combination of familiar melodies. Judy designed
this quilt with a combination of familiar designs
reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie style giving it
a wonderful graphic and texture look. Traditional and
innovative piecing is used to create the different blocks
and a relaxed approach in construction makes it a joy to
sew.
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.

look at this quilt: www.quiltwithjudy.com
Airing of the
Quilts
This year's event will be on
Saturday, July 17. The quilts will be on display 10:00
a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Airing of the Quilts is a day we
set aside to share the art of quilting with quilters, quilt
admirers and anyone in the community who would like to
explore the art of quilting. Whether the quilt is large and
grand or small and cozy, we love to see what each other has
created.
We feel that every quilt tells a
story and we are extending an invitation to you to share
yours. Airing of the Quilts is open to anyone who would like
to share their quilt(s) for the day. This is not a
judged event and there is no fee to display a quilt or
attend the event. Please let us know if you would like to
place a quilt in the show.
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.

Pfaff Husqvarna Full
Service Shop Returns to Madison
I am extremely happy to announce
that Madison will once again have a full service Pfaff and
Husqvarna Viking Dealership. The new store will
be located at 4221 Lien Road in the Legacy House on
Madison's east side. I hope to have the store open in the
next few weeks.
I have hired Rose Mary Huber Pauls
to be the store manager and educational coordinator and
instructor. Rose Mary will have the same role that she
formerly had at Walcott Sewing Vacuum.
I'll be involved with the business
as the owner so Rose Mary will have more time for you, the
consumers and students.
Rose Mary and I are very excited
about this new venture and will keep you up to date with
information as it becomes available. Be sure to tell your
friends so that the word will spread to everyone awaiting
this great
store.
