Classes

The class schedule is on the website and a hard copy is available in the shop.
We have lots of new classes being offered this summer. Many of the classes are designed to make a dent in your stash of fabrics. Allie's Scrap Jewel Box, Linda's Scrappy Batik, and I'll be hosting a Christmas Mystery Quilt that will use up lots of your Reds, Greens and Christmas prints that are hiding in your stash.
Several of the teachers are giving a discount if you and a friend sign up.

With the temperature now in triple digits it's time for staying in the cool indoors. We have many days that the classroom is available for FREE OPEN Sewing. I've listed those on the class schedule. We just ask that you call to let us know that you'll be coming. Staff will be available to answer questions or give you help on a project.

The Red Work and Applique Clubs are meeting all summer. So grab your handwork and relax with these fun ladies.

For those of you who want to get into this great hobby we have classes that are just for you.
Learn your Sewing Machine and A Taste of Quilting

Linda Burch has got a new polymer clay class that will have you making all kinds of embellishments for bags, jewelry and for gifts.

We have classes planned for the last week in July to get you going for Christmas.

Even if your an experienced quilter there is always something new to learn or share with others. Classes are a great time and what better way to spend those "warm" summer days but in the cool air conditioned quilt shop.

Check out the schedule and calendar @ www.aquiltersoasis.com

We look forward to seeing you.

New Arrivals & Fond Farewells

In my earlier post, I forgot to mention that last week was the first meeting of the Applique' Club. This club is open to anyone who enjoys hand applique'. The group meets to sew, socialize, and share. You can come as often as you like. The group will meet the 4th Friday of the month from 10am - 12pm. Bring a project to work on, meet some fellow quilters and best of all the club is FREE.

Our UPS drivers had another busy week.
We received the JUMBO 1 3/8" wide Ric Rac in White, Aqua, & Chocolate Brown. The Pink I have ordered should be arriving shortly.
New project storage boxes in fun spring colors of pink and purple. These boxes are 12" x 12", great for keeping your quilt project/blocks organized.
Three new patterns from Pam's Piece by Piece arrived today. We have 3 of her quilts displayed in the shop. These patterns are wonderful for using fabric from your Fine Fabric Collection (FFC) aka stash.
