A NOTE FROM DEBBIE...
A new year! QP turns 15 this year! We'll have a party in June and we're already planning it! If someone with a crystal ball had shown me what the shop would be like in 15 years, I wouldn't have believed it. It's been quite a ride so far and more to come!
We've a great selection of classes coming up, lots of clubs, new fabrics, kits, patterns and we're dipping our toe into wool kits. We have a few now and some of the staff is working on samples for more. Stay tuned.
In February we'll have a HandiQuilter Retreat at the shop. Debby Brown will be with us and we're planning an exciting event. Stay tuned for details but save the last weekend in February!
Our annual SuperBolt Sale is coming up the first weekend in February. I think this is the 7th year we've done this. Great prices on about 400 bolts of fabric in the classroom. Stay tuned for that too.
Kaye England will be with us for two days in September, I'm working with Eileen Roche on an embroidery seminar at QP in 2012 and we've a couple other big events perking to completion! We'll release details as soon as everything is finalized.
It's a great time of the year to sew - quilt on!
Piecefully,
Debbie
MACHINE NEWS!
If you love to free-motion machine quilt but struggle to fit your project in a small throat space, you’re going to love the HQ Sweet Sixteen®. Sixteen inches of throat space gives you room to quilt even a king-size quilt. The smooth surface of the included table allows your project to glide under the needle. The powerful motor handles quilting with ease and stitches up to 1500 stitches-perminute. Choose your three favorite top speed settings, on the easy-to-use color touch screen and let the machine remember them.
