June is Casserole Carrier:
Every year we say we are going to do it…get started on making those holiday gifts early. This year, we are going to have some fun and help encourage you to actually reach your goal! Remember the old Christmas Club accounts we used to make deposits to every month so that in November we could count on a check to use for holiday purchases??? This will work something like that, except instead of depositing money, you will make and deposit a gift each month. Every “depositor” will have a “safety deposit box” in which his/her gifts will be kept until next December. Then we will allow you to “close” your account and wrap your gifts that are ready to go under the tree!!! All projects will be finished in class and you will be given instructions so that if you want, you can go home and make more to be “deposited” as well. At a minimum though, you will have made one gift per month of membership! Think of the fun we will have making our gifts throughout the year! Sign up now to become a card holding member of the Loving Stitches Christmas Club.
-Your First Quilt TH 12:30-3:30 6/4,11,18,25 BEG
Especially for beginners, this class was written to teach all of the basic skills needed to make a rail fence quilt from start to finish. After you finish this first quilt, you will be confident of using the skills you have acquired to make a second and third and fourth quilt of your choice successfully also. Different segments of the quilt’s construction will be covered monthly depending upon the start date of each student.
Kits are being created for beginners who might feel shy about choosing their own fabric colors. Just ask our floor personnel about them when registering for this class. Donna has done a great job of grouping color selections that are guaranteed to make beautiful quilts.
