First Saturday

A new series starts February 2008

Join us on the first Saturday of each month for a quick lesson in quilt
making. We will be making 12" blocks in two different colorways, Dots or
Thirties. Like any quilting bee, we will get together once a month and share information on a particular technique, what's new, and other bits of information. The first time you come you will purchase 2 yards of background fabric and one of our block kits for $5. Come back the next time and, if you have completed your block, you get the next one FREE!

Here's how it works:

• We will open the doors at 8:30 on the First Saturday, starting February 2, 2008, but you will have until 11 am to get your ticket for your free block.
• When you come in, you'll show your completed block at the door to get the free ticket (starting in March). Then you can go to the demo area, where there will be a display of new items, a small ongoing demonstration, and a staff member highlighting that month's block.

There are a few conditions:

• If you want to make a block in both colorways, that's great. But, you only get 1 free kit a month. You must pay for the other one.
• To get your free kit, you have to come yourself on the First Saturday
  between 8:30 and 11 am. No exceptions. Don't BEE late! Don't send someone else to get your block!
• If you can't come one Saturday, you can buy that month's kit for $5.00
  while supplies last. You can call us and we'll be happy to save a kit for
  you. Bring it to the next month's class and that month's kit is free.
• We will not make each month's kits indefinitely. Once the kits are gone, the pattern will be available for $1.50 each month, and you can use your own stash. However, the block you bring back has to be from our kit to earn a free kit!
• Both colorways are very scrappy, and we'll have a variety of fat quarters available each month to make extra blocks or scrappy borders. The fabrics might not be what's in the block, depending on the availability of the fabrics. Scrappy is great!
