Bring your unfinished projects and get
ready to GET THEM DONE and have a

the gals from The Quilter’s Market. Sew
early, sew late, take a dip in the pool,
enjoy the Ranch’s fabulous ambiance
and dining - it’s YOUR time to get away
and have a fun and relaxing weekend
with the girls. We’ll start after lunch
on Friday and continue to Sunday.

SIGN UPS FOR THIS SPECIAL EVENT
WILL BEGIN ON FRI, MAY 15 • 9:00a
Ah, summer, the best time of the year to gather some delicious fabrics
and settle in for some heavy-duty quilting. Let’s face it, it’s too hot to do
much else, and quilting is one thing we can do in air-conditioned comfort!
At The Quilter’s Market, we’ve got lots of cool classes and projects coming up for the hot months ahead.
Got a big stash? We’ll help you work through it with The Great Scrap
Sew In. Bring your scraps – we’ll cut them for you – and feed you lunch
– it’s a day of uninterrupted sewing and fellowship, guaranteed to help
you make a dent in that pile of scraps that has been accumulating in your
sewing room.
Got UFO’s? Gather them up and join us at Camp Wannamakaquilta, our
annual summer retreat at Tanque Verde Ranch, where you’ll enjoy uninterrupted sewing and fun in a beautiful ranch setting. A perfect setting for a
“staycation,” Camp Wannamakaquilta has become a favorite of Quilter’s
Market customers – be sure to read below for details.
Got an itch to start a new project? Check out our class listing for fun new
quilt projects and the return of some favorites – big or small, easy or
more involved, we’ve got a huge selection this summer sure to inspire your
creativity and help pass these warm months.
Many of the classes offer pre-selected kits, so there is very little pre-class
preparation to do, or if you prefer, choose your own beautiful fabrics for
your favorite project.
Got just a little time? We have classes that are short, easy projects completed in just a few hours, and our Skill Builders, which are short technique
classes focused on a particular aspect of quilting.
Whatever you’re looking for this summer, we hope you’ll join us for some
fun and fellowship at The Market. The A/C’s on, the fabrics are beautiful,
and we’re always having a good time – please join us!

Strippers Club
Passport to Fun Quilt Series
At the Quilter’s Market, we think quilting should be fun, and if you
haven’t been to Strippers Club yet, you’re missing a LOT of fun! Our
most popular event, Stripper’s Club is wild & crazy and best of all
– FREE! Each month we feature a new quilt based on 2 ½” strips.
Some are super easy and some are a little more challenging, but
they’re all a lot of fun and a great way to use those strips that have
been accumulating in your scrap basket. And actually, even though
we call it a club, there are no dues and nothing to join. Just show up
and receive a FREE pattern for that month’s quilt and a short demo
on how the quilt is made. There’s Show & Tell, some great door
prizes and a lot of fun and laughter.
Each quilt goes on display a few days prior to the meeting. If you’d
like a strip set to make a quilt just like ours, prepay BEFORE Strippers Club Saturday and save $5 off the regular kit price! ...FREE
Join Lynda & Bonnie as we set off on a trip around the world, one
quilt at a time! We found this series when we visited Market this
spring – and are so excited about bringing it to you because it is
going to be so much fun! Each session we’ll visit an exotic location
and make a stunning quilt that represents that location. This class
will meet once a trimester and participants will receive a passport
and travel sticker for each destination visited. Take one or take
them all – the choice is yours, but don’t be left behind!

Kids Summer ‘09 Classes

sew! Besides being a basic life skill, sewing something tangible
and beautiful with one’s own hands is a satisfying and rewarding
experience that can be enjoyed your whole life. Come join Kitty
and Susan this summer for lots of fun, some learning and have a
beautiful quilt or other project to show for it!
Our classes are designed for children age 7 or older. The child
should have taken the Kids Basic Sew or already have experience sewing on a machine before taking the other classes.
