Anita Goodesign Workshop is June 11, 12 or 13th. Choose the date and time that works best for you. Gather your friends for another fun workshop on a Zippered Butterfly Bag created completely in the hoop, zipper and all! The bag uses a unique technique that places the zipper on top of the bag instead of the side for a look that differs from traditional In the Hoop embroidery. It is the perfect size for makeup, toiletries, or school supplies. The butterfly motif is beautiful and adds the perfect finishing touch. The workshop is scheduled for June 11, 12 or 13th, with both morning and afternoon slots available. Each workshop is limited to 8 per session. All machines and supplies are furnished for a $10 fee and receive a classroom placket valued at $59.95. Sign up soon as spaces are limited!!

Long Arm Quilting Event is coming up the end of July on Tuesday, July 30th from 10-1. We are excited to have Lisa Rogers who has had an intensive 18-year background in quilting and has been a professional quilter for many years during which time she was contracted to custom quilt and show quilts at various quilt shows. She perfected her freehand and trapunto quilting skills under the instruction of Linda Taylor.

The 3 hour event will showcase the Husqvarna Viking long arm and the Automated Quilter and attendees will experience firsthand all this system has to offer. Demonstrations are designed to showcase the possibilities and be fun and simple. Inspirational samples will show how the products and techniques can be incorporated in different types of sewing applications like home décor, apparel and much more. Lisa will share her tips for success as well as suggestions for even more creative ideas.

Demonstration will cover a number of quilting techniques and topics including: Free Motion, Ruler Work, Editing and Customing Patterns, Scaling, Borders, Creating an Edge to Edge Patterns, Nesting Edge to Edge Patterns, Horizontal and Vertical Lock (straight lines), and Hands on exercises.
