NEW! SATURDAY SAMPLER FOR 2008 IT'S A STATE OF MIND
It's that time again! We're beginning a new year of sampler block adventures!
If you've never tried a program like this before, it's really fun for beginners and experienced sewers alike. The program runs on the second Saturday of every month. Every participant has the opportunity to create twelve quilt blocks -- enough for an entire quilt top -- for only $5.
Each year we choose a theme for our monthly block program. This year, we've chosen three "states of mind" and imagined a Spa dedicated to achieving them.
Starting on June 14, 2008, we’ll
offer spa treatments for the mind. Each month
for a year, you’ll have the opportunity to explore one or more of these unique
outlooks as expressed in fabric hue and texture.
If you are a beginner, the blocks are simple enough for you but you can expect to learn a thing or two. Been quilting awhile or done this kind of program before? We've added a twist -- advanced techniques and setting elements available each month - you can finish the program and a quilt top at the same time - no setting decisions to make!
|
|
|
SERENITY
Would you like to achieve a state of Serenity? The calming colors and unruffled textures featured each month in these spa treatments will help you do just that. Choose the Serenity Spa Package, if you want to experience the “calm within a storm” -- soothing shades of aqua, spring green and lavender in semi-solid or calmly textured batiks.
|
|
|
|
|
EXUBERANCE
Perhaps you’d like to experience the joy and unrestrained enthusiasm of Exuberance? Expect flamboyance and abundance if you pick the Exuberence Spa Package -- dramatic combinations of color and texture characterized by Kaffe Fasset fabrics -- shouting shades of lilac, blue, green, and rose in patterns that dance above the fabric surface.
|
|
|
REFLECTION
Take your cue from the pensive feelings of nostalgia and reminiscence. Select the Reflection Spa Package and travel through memory and time. – aided by period pieces in chocolate browns, rose reds, and pinks with just a hint of haunting blue.

HOW DOES A SATURDAY SAMPLER PROGRAM WORK?
- You must arrive at the shop no later than 9 a.m., 11 a.m., or 1 p.m. (depending on the session you are assigned) on the 2nd Saturday of the month, starting June 14.
* PLEASE NOTE: The program will start promptly at five minutes after the hour – you are LATE if you do not arrive before the program starts. We are VERY strict about following the rules – please don’t ask us to make an exception for you.
- We will unveil the featured block for the month and provide a 15-minute lesson filled with special tips and techniques for making the block. You’ll also receive written instructions giving you detailed cutting and piecing directions for your 12” block.
- You will pick up your kit(s) only AFTER the instructional session ends.
- You will pay $5 for your “spa package” kit the first month. Now here’s the best part! Each following month, if you personally bring your completed block to your assigned session AND arrive on time, the next kit is FREE! With just a little bit of work (about 1 hour), you will be able to bring a completed block each month and get enough blocks to design a quilt top that costs you only $5.
- If you can’t make it to a session OR arrive late OR didn’t finish your block (even if you left it at home!) you will be asked to purchase your kit for $5.
- You may choose to receive more than one “spa package” kit each month but only one is available for the “Free Kit” offer. Extra kits are available at $5 each.
- For each spa package kit you receive, you may add a monthly "finishing" kit for $6 each. Each finishing kit include instructions for setting components that will turn your monthly kit blocks into a complete and cohesive quilt top by the time the program ends.
- No changes to your “spa package” kit selection(s) will be allowed after the first month.
HOW TO REGISTER
To be fair to all our customers, we will conduct open enrollment starting on Sunday, May 11, at 8 a.m. You may either send an email to jane@quiltersway.com or call the shop at (978) 371-1177 and leave a voicemail message.
Make sure that you tell us 1) session: 9am, 11am or 1pm, 2) spa package(s): Serenity, Exuberance, Reflection or more than one, and 3) finishing treatments(s): to which of your spa package(s) you want to add finishing kits.
All messages will be time stamped and participants will be assigned to the session of their choice based on the time of their request. No requests will be accepted before May 11.
