Show and Tell

I look forward to show and tell and not only for the cheesecake. This is how it works. Everyone brings one item quilted and one item unquilted. This way we can ooh and aah over what you have done but then everyone can give quilting ideas for the unquilted items. This is a wonderful idea session as well as just plain eye candy that you won?t want to miss.

Wednesday, 7:00

Maintenance class (APQS MACHINE OWNERS) $50.00

Two-hour class on adjusting, cleaning, and servicing your APQS machine. Includes maintenance manual, as much time as needed will be spent to answer all your questions after the presentation. Sure to be fun and enlightening for all.

It?s time to think about coming to camp again!!! We have 5 teachers this year with two hands on classes and a demo class happening all at the same time! We have expanded and we are very excited about it. Take time to look at the teacher bios and what they are teaching. We have tried to give a good variety in skill levels and techniques.

We can accommodate more quilters this year but our classes are still limited. I have 4 longarms in each hands on class and 1 in the demo class. I don?t want more than 3 people per machine so I am limiting the classes to 12 people each.
