Summer Trimester Class
Preview
Summer is fast approaching and so is our Summer Semester Class
Preview, which is being held this time on Friday, June 18 from
noon to 8:00 p.m. Our instructors will be on hand from 5:00 to
8:00 p.m. to answer your questions. Some of the great class
samples that you will see are the Bow & Go Bag, Sweet Sugar
Swirls, Butterflies are Free, Hip Skirt, Midtown Trench Coat,
Regatta and Jacob’s Ladder. These are but a few of the
wonderful projects that await you, so make plans to attend the
Summer Semester Class Preview.
Summer is a great time to start a new project with its long
days and the extra daylight hours it provides. Let the warmth
of the summer sun and the beautiful colors of the summer
flowers spark your creativity. We are here and ready to
further inspire you with these fantastic projects and more. Be
sure to read about and take advantage of the Summer Daze program
as described below.

Sew Sweet Shoppe Club
Sew Sweet Shoppe is here and meets on the 4th Saturday morning
of each month, February - December in 2010, at 9:45 a.m. Each
month a fabulous new quilt pattern is introduced and given to
club members along with a collection of fat quarters. Each
quilt is, as you guessed, fat quarter friendly. They can be
made scrappy or color/theme coordinated - it is up to you.
Make only the quilts you want to make and bring them back to
the monthly meetings for show and tell, which is sure to be
one of the most anticipated parts of the meeting. Members will
also enjoy fun activities and the opportunity to fellowship
with other quilters. We learn together and laugh together at
our Saturday morning club meetings.
Each of the Sew Sweet Shoppe quilts has been inspired by a
delicious dessert and shares the name of that sweet treat. At
the conclusion of our club meeting, the club fun will be
topped off with the serving of the featured dessert of the
month - scrumptious!
Join us for the social event of the year. You will be glad you
did!
