Spring Quilters’ Weekend at Country
Treasures
Our
1st Mini Spring Quilters’ Weekend retreat was a huge success with so
many wonderful ladies sewing and completing many projects. Show + Tell was
fabulous with many beautiful quilts! We
are working on plans for our next Mini Fall Retreat which takes place Nov. 7th
– 9th, 2014. There are a few
spots still available so hurry and secure your place!!
Class Schedule
Our
Fall Newsletter will be out in August with many new and exciting classes. Carolyn will resume her machine quilting
classes this fall! Sue has many new
ideas and patterns to share.
Row by Row Experience
Have you heard about the Row by Row Experience? We couldn’t wait to join the fun this
year. The event runs from July 1 to
September 2, 2014. The theme this year
is “Sew a Season.” Here is how it works:
participating Vermont shops design a row and post photos on www.rowbyrowexperience.com or at www.Facebook.com/VTRowbyRowExperience.
Quilters can pick up the free patterns in person at the participating shop. Sue
chose the winter season for the Country Treasure’s row: Snowball Snowmen.
Quilters then assemble a quilt using at least 8 rows. Once your quilt is finished, quilted and
bound take it in to any participating Vermont shop. If you are the first quilter to bring a completed
quilt to that shop you win a prize. If
you use that shop’s row you may win a bonus prize!
Softly Spoken by Harriet Hargrave
Have you seen Softly Spoken, the new fabric line from
Marcus Fabrics, designed by Harriet Hargrave?
Harriet will be teaching at VQF this year. Sue will have the whole fabric line at her
booth.
Talking Quilts
You have probably noticed that we have been rather
quiet online recently. The main reason
is we have been occupied setting up Talking Quilts, including a new, more functional
website. Sue also took Talking Quilts to
Quilt Market in Pittsburgh, PA and did a fabulous job introducing herself as
the new owner of this product line.
Checkout our new website at www.vermontquilting.com
or at www.talkingquilts.com.
