Saturday Sampler 2008...
Began Saturday, January 12, 2008... but it is never to late to participate. Stop into the Threads of Tradition Quilt Shop to find out what your options are for a later entry. We will be making 9" finished sampler blocks in your choice of three different colorways.
Colorways...
Reproductions... Sherbets... or Black & White...Here's How It Works...
- At 8:00 and 9:00 AM, (Please note the time change from previous years) on the second Saturday of each month, we will introduce that month's block and give a short demonstration of a technique or tool that can be used to make that block. These sessions will be identical, attend only one.
- The first time you attend a Saturday Sampler demonstration, you buy a fabric kit for $4.00. It contains the fabric for one block in the colorway you have chosen.
- Each participant will need to purchase a copy of the book "Better By the Dozen" by Susan Teegarden Dissmore, which contains 12 blocks, 12 quilts and endless possibilities.
- Go home and sew the block. Bring it with you to the following month's Second Saturday demonstration and you will get your next fabric kit free!
There are a Few Conditions...
- If you want to make blocks in more than one colorway, that's great! But you only get one free kit per month. You must pay for the additional ones.
- To receive your free kit, you must either attend the demonstration on the second Saturday at either 8:00 or 9:00 AM OR bring your completed block to the shop anytime in the week following Saturday Sampler... up to and including the third Saturday of the month.
- If you cannot come in during Saturday Sampler week, you can still buy that month's kit for $4.00 while supplies last. Bring the finished block into the shop anytime during the following month's Saturday Sampler week and your next kit is free.
Each Month We Give Away a Door Prize...
- Every month you will have an opportunity to make the challenge block to be eligible for the door prize. Only those persons who complete the extra challenge will be eligible for the door prize drawing.
- We would like to encourage you to work on a creative setting for your sampler quilt; the extra blocks for the door prize can be blocks you plan to use in your finished quilt or can be in a different color for a second quilt.
