Upcoming Events - Mark Your Calendar!
Introduction to Quilting – Wednesday, November 6
12:15 – 1:00 p.m. OR 5:15 – 6:00 p.m. You probably know someone who has said, "I'd love to learn to quilt but I don't know if I can." Well, direct them to a FREE 45-minute demo session so that they can see how easy it really is to measure, cut, and piece a quilt block together. Participants will learn many tips and tricks about how to create a beautiful quilt. No RSVP necessary . . . just show up at Cortez Quilt Company, 40 West Main in Cortez at either 12:15 or 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6. Third Thursday Demo – Thursday, November 21, 12:30 p.m. Join us for our regular Third Thursday Demo on November 21 when Karen will show how to use the Simply Crazy ruler to make a fun quilt that’s quick enough to have done before Christmas. No RSVP necessary. The demo begins at 12:30 and will last about 20 minutes. Bring your machine and stay for the afternoon to sew if you’d like! Customer Appreciation Day – Friday, November 29 – Day After Thanksgiving Get your 2014 CAD card when you spend $25! This is a repeat from last year because CAD cards were a hit. With your CAD card, once a month you get one yard of fabric free when you buy three at regular price. Quilt ‘Til You Wilt – Friday, December 6, 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. Back by popular demand, we’ve scheduled another Quilt ‘Til You Wilt for Friday, December 6th.

Coming in January . . .
Toes in the SandSIX First Fridays: January 3, February 7, March 7, April 4, May 2, June 6. This series is FREE with purchase of book, ruler, and fabric. Toes in the Sand uses the new, popular Hex N More ruler and we’re structuring a class for early 2014 sort of like a block of the month. The class will meet on the first Friday of each month for six months and during each session you’ll make two different blocks (two of each). At the end of the six months, you’ll have all of the blocks you need to assemble a beautiful 64″ x 84″ quilt that, depending on the fabrics you choose, can have either a traditional, modern, or elegant look. This class is already filling up, so sign up soon! Cindy Dahl is the instructor.
