A Preview of 2016
We've had our creativity hats on planning for the new year. Here's a sampling of what you can expect at Cortez Quilt Company during early 2016. (Who knows what later in the year might hold!).
NEW! Since we're phasing out Class Club we decided to replace it with "Take Three, One Free." As the name implies, take three classes and your fourth one is free. Read the details at the top of the class page on our website.
NEW! For anyone who admires sampler quilts but hasn't made on in a while (or has never made one) now is your opportunity. On the fourth Friday of each month we'll gather to work on a sampler quilt. Get the details on our class page.
NEW! We have a new series called In The Kitchen which will be held on the third Wednesday of each month. In these classes you'll be making all things cooking and eating related . . . aprons, table runners, placemats, and much more. In January we'll make a handy insulated casserole carrier.
NEW! Feet Retreat is for anyone who owns a BERNINA sewing machine and wants to learn how to use more of the amazing presser feet that BERNINA is known for. The first Feet Retreat is scheduled for Sunday, February 7th. More details coming soon.
IT'S BACK! We're reviving Block Lotto for 2016. Watch for more information in the next issue of The Quiltzette.
Evening classes will continue to be held once a month. We're now calling these Evening Make-and-Take with the idea is that you will leave class with a finished project.
Third Thursday Demos will also continue. We're going back to hosting these only at 12:30 p.m. on Thursdays since we've had small turnouts for the late afternoon sessions. However . . . each Third Thursday Demo will now be repeated on the Saturday following the Third Thursday so that those of you who work during week can still join in. This will begin in February.
Early 2016 Youth Classes will be held on the following dates. Keep an eye on the Quiltzette for details.
Monday, January 18 (Martin Luther King Day)
Monday, February 15 (President’s Day)
Thursday, March 3 (No School Day)
That's it for now. But rest assured there will be many more fun and exciting events coming your way from Cortez Quilt Company during 2016.
