Retirement sure looks good on Joan, she looks badass on her bike! Better keep the "Joan's Harley Parking" space clear or she'll run you off the road ;)
bernina Academy
Join us November 16th and 17th as we bring in BERNINA Educator Kathy Shalda to teach BERNINA Academy - Tame that Technique! In this 2-day course, you'll discover what BERNINA can do for you while exploring everything from closures, to hems, to elegant embellishments. Delight in mastering techniques like piping, Spanish hemstitching, exposed zippers, and much more! You'll leave the event with a Technique Reference Book chock full of sample techniques from the course so you always remember your new favorites! The class fee includes all the materials necessary to complete the book as well as other BERNINA goodies.
There's still time to get in on our HQ Event! We've made improvements to make this one more fun and educational, the biggest being that each session is now limited to 12 attendees. This will give everybody more hands-on time, but it also means seats are going to fill up fast so if you think you want to attend, DON'T DELAY! Additionally, we're bringing in more longarms and accessories to optimize your experience. Call the store to reserve your space!

This month, learn to create beautiful openwork embroidery using your embroidery machine and a pair of scissors. Water-soluble stabilizer makes easy work of this classic technique. We will create an elegant lingerie bag. ***Please bring a notebook and flashdrive**
Pumpkin Decorating Contest
It's September! What??!!! That means it's time for our fabric pumpkin contest! This was a ton of fun last year so we've decided to make it an annual event. There's only one rule: your creation has to involve fabric and be marginally pumpkin themed. I loved everybody's creativity last year, so we're giving you more warning this year. Submit your pumpkin by October 31. Voting will take place November 1-7, and the winner gets a $50 gift card!
One entry per customer, no repeat entries from last year.
We're really excited about the new Technique of the Month featuring Dinnerplate Dahlia. Certified Instructor - Jennifer Eubank will be starting with a prep class in January followed by 4 monthly sessions and, if needed, a "make up" session in June.

Quiltworx drop in
2nd Wednesday Evenings
Have any questions about your Quiltworx quilt? Jennifer Eubank is hosting a drop-in class to help get you on track! Show up when you need help, don't when you're good! Jennifer will be at the store on 2nd Wednesday evenings for whatever you need, wherever you are in your project.
First wednesday w/ Marianne
Starting this month, Marianne is hosting a Wednesday evening open sew from 6-9 PM on the first Wednesday of each month. This is a great time to get help on a project you're struggling with, she'll be there with her infinite wisdom (!!!) to assist in any way she can.
Flathead Quilt Show
Don't forget the FQG Quilt Show is this month! Come by September 22 and 23 for a great show with beautiful quilts and people! The seminars this year are going to be better than ever, so be sure to turn out to support our local teachers and gain some wisom nuggets.

Sample Sale
In preparation for the move, we're trying to clear out some samples and quilts we no longer have patterns for. This beauty was pieced and quilted by Joan, and we're selling it for $325! We've got plenty more so if you're looking for a unique gift (that you don't want to piece yourself), come see us!
Embroidered Patch
Patches are really trendy right now, and we as sewists are at an advantage since we can create our own patches! BERNINA's creative blog, We All Sew, has a great tutorial for patches to put on bags, jackets, or anything else you want to jazz up! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for the video tutorial, it's really cute :).
New building update!
Another update! The frame is going up on the new building, which should make it easier to spot from the highway. Remember, we'll be on 93 S about a mile or so past the bypass mouth. Look for the frame by Beckman's Furniture! We're completely elated to be continuing QG's legacy in this state of the art quilting paradise!
Hoffman Fabric catalog
It's our favorite time of the year.. Hoffman Fabrics put out their newest catalog! They always have it in a beautiful digital format which means you can go take a look and pester Marianne to order what you want! Fun, right???
