Are You Ready for an Epic Adventure??
We're having one at Quilt Connection -- Come Join Us!
Wednesday, August 17th, is an all-day, 9 am to 5 pm, Epic Adventure working with the new Designer Epic Sewing and Embroidery machine. You will be making and taking home two projects made with the fabulous machine. And lunch is included.
Cost is $25.00 for the day, which includes all of your supplies, the project kits and lunch. Please sign up as soon as possible as space will be limited and we will need a count for getting machines here (so everyone can work on their own).
Thursday, August 18th, is a half-day event from 9 am to 1 pm. Karen has an out-of-box and out-of-this-world trunk show to share with you on all of the latest and greatest tips and tricks. She is very accomplished with the Platinum 16 sit-down quilter and will be giving a demo on that as well. And let's not forget software – she can wow you with that also.
Cost is $10.00 for the event and we will give you a $10 credit toward any purchase you make. Since this event does not require machines, we can accommodate more participates but please register as soon as possible.
JoAnn Hoffman Workshop Coming
We will be hosting a JoAnn Hoffman workshop in the fall. Look for samples of her beautiful work the next time you are in the shop. More details to follow!!
