Calendar

One Saturday morning a month we will present a topic of interest to all sewists. It is information important to all of us as we pursue our hobby to help you get the best results possible. We will teach you about fabric and threads that we sell, needles, and stabilizers to help you make the best decision about the products you choose to use. Lynn will demonstrate the long arms and ruler work for those who want to know what all the fuss is about, also techniques like hooping designs and transferring them from discs or online into your machine for stitch out. We hope you will join us to listen and learn more about sewing and the tools that we use.

Come join us in our large classroom for some friendly, fearless, fun stitching happiness! This is an unstructured opportunity to bring your own project, and socialize at the same time. You'll have access to our cutting tables, mats, ironing boards, large tables, refrigerator, microwave and you'll get to share your show and tell! This newly reformatted class, will be much like Quilt and Chat used to be, though there will be no class instructor. You will have access to the SVQ staff if you're truly stuck, but we know that our customers are often the best at troubleshooting sewing difficulties! Come meet new friends and join those you've sewn with for years!

Join Barbara Harrell as she opens takes you from the traditional One Block Wonder, through OBW's made from panels. Learn how to create cubes, and incorporate non-traditional design elements! All students will need one of Maxine Rosenthal's OBW books. If you don't already own one we recommend "One Block Wonders, Encore". Recognizing that everyone works at their own pace, these workshops will be comprised of students attending for the first time, those attending for the second time or those coming back for final assembly and assistance.
