Fall 2014 Class Schedule
“Where Lasting Friendships Are Pieced Together” Fall 2014 Class Schedule August - September - October - November BLAST FROM THE PAST... Everything old is new again as we welcome new generations of quilters and look back to favorites from days gone by. Visit us online at: www.quiltingbeespokane.com 1 Dear friends, At the writing of this letter we are in Nashville at the 2014 Bernina University Convention (BU). We have found as we reflect on our theme, “Blast from the Past” that, indeed, many things of the past can still amaze us. As part of BU we were fortunate enough to attend the Grand Ole Opry and were amazed at entertainers who still seemed to be at the top of their game after 50 years in the busiMost ness. It reminded us of how many of you love your old Berninas that accountable are still at the top of their game as well. Speaking of top of their game after a long time, Bernina is 121 years old. You will be seeing new and innovative projects coming to market over the next several months which will leave no doubt that Bernina is still the leader in the industry. Perhaps it is true that with years of perseverance, people, and companies also, can become mature and complete, lacking in nothing. Our wish for you is that this becomes true in your life as you reflect upon your journey and look to the future. We hope you will join us in experiencing life to the fullest, bringing to fruition all the creative desires living in you. Blessings to you and your families. Most likely to succeed Treasure and Scot NEW MAILER LAYOUT! This mailer is a blast from the past and we are having fun with a yearbook theme. But we are also making a long-term change to our class layouts to group them by skill level rather than month. Our monthly reference calendars can still be found in the center pages of this book so you can locate classes by date if that is your preference. Kindergarten = Technique classes: Learn the basics of a specific quilting skill. Freshman/1 scissor = Beginner Level classes: These projects can be completed by the novice sewer and will incorporate basic quilting skills and techniques Sophomore/2 scissors = Intermediate: Intended for the sewer with confidence in their basic skills and will introduce more advanced-level sewing. Junior/3 scissors = Advanced: Intended for the sewer looking to develop new skills and learn difficult techniques. Senior/4 scissors = Advanced: Our most difficult projects for the sewer who enjoys a beautiful challenge. 2 The Quilting Bee ~ Spokane WA, 99206 ~ 1-888-928-6037 Bernina Mastery Classes - By Machine Machine Model Applicable Sessions All Bernette sewing machines and 3-Series Bernette/3-Series Mastery All 5-Series and 7 Series Basic Operation All 5-Series and 7-Series Stitch Fun Bernina 560, 580 and all 7-Series Creative Options Bernina 820, 830 8-Series Mastery 1 & 2 Bernina 880 880 Mastery 1 & 2 Bernina 560, 580, 750, 780, Bernette Deco and Chicago 7 Embroidery Machine Basics 1 & 2 All Bernina sergers Basic Serger Use and Serging Ahead 1300MDC, L220, and 009DCC sergers Cover and Chain Stitching Bernina Mastery Information - ALL MACHINES The Quilting Bee offers Mastery classes for Bernina owners to help you learn to operate and maintain your sewing, embroidery, or serger machine.
