Wow can you believe the weather we've had. I've lived here in Arizona for 30 years and I don't ever remember having these cool days in late April. Boy have I enjoyed them!! Well I know that the cool weather is gone & it's time to prepare for those hot summer days.
I've got lots of projects for shop samples to keep the staff & I busy everyday. Make sure you stop in & see all the samples we've prepared for you.
I've just finished the May - July class schedule, updated the calendar for the website & will get the class registration book updated starting tomorrow. Hopefully, no changes will need to be made today so we can get it uploaded to the website.
The teachers have again prepared great classes for you this schedule. Several of them are perfect for using your stash. Make sure you check out the website later this week. www.aquiltersoasis.com and click on the apple icon.
We have received two great fabric lines.

For the grown ups we received the complete line Heart & Soul by Whimsicals
If you love Taupe/Neutral colors then you will love this line. It also features a fabric type panel in softly colored, block design with inspirational 5" motif squares alternating with those that contain coordinate patterns.
We have the book "If Quilts Could Talk" by Whimsicals that features projects using this fabric collection.
Then for the Boys young or old:
Hard Hats by Avlyn Fabrics
Construction Trucks in both a panel & a border stripe. Coordinating prints feature gravel, construction hats, boots, warning cones.
Make sure you come in & see the class samples & get ready for a wonderful summer filled with quilting.
See you soon. Kathy & Staff
