Dear Quilters,
We've got lots of fun events and classes planned for you
this Summer, and we hope you’ll help us break in our
wonderful new classroom! We’re so excited to have the
space and can’t wait to share it with you (it will be cool inside
when the weather is hot outside). Plan to join us in the shop
to learn a new technique or start a new project.
To get you started and inspired, we are once again
offering our popular Beginner’s Retreat Weekend, as well as
several other beginner classes — Fiona, Star Crossed Table
Runner, and the ever-popular Yellow Brick Road class. To
learn techniques for the completion of your quilts, Sabine will
be teaching both basic and advanced machine quilting classes,
and Jacque will show you how to make perfect bindings.
These classes fill up very quickly, so please don't delay.
If you’re ready to learn a new technique, join Mimi for
her Accidental Landscapes or 3-D Bear Quilt class, or let
Sabine show you how to make perfect curves with the Apple
Core class. For Father’s Day, Gina will show you how to turn
men’s ties into a special quilt with the Daddy’s Ties class.
We will begin monthly Charity Sews in June. HPQ will
provide all the fabric and patterns to make charity quilts for
needy families. All patterns are easy, and this is a wonderful
way to meet new quilting friends while helping others in need.
You can set aside time to meet and get to know other
quilters at our Open Sews, Handwork Sewing Circle or
Charity Sews. Cindy will be back with her First Aid with
Cindy classes; let her get you back on track with your UFO.
If you are a night owl, join Pat for our Friday night sew-ins.
We offer private, one-on-one classes as well.
If you’re on our email list, we hope you had a chance to
see the sneak peek of the 2013 Shop Hop fabric, exclusively
designed for this year’s 14th annual Rocky Mountain Quilt
Fever Shop Hop. For more information, visit the website,
