Letter from the Editor

Happy New Year!! Don’t you love a brand new start? This is Quiltique’s 30th issue of The Stash and with the New Year we thought it was time for a new look as well. What do you think? I hope you like its clean look and streamlined layout. A big shout out to our former Quiltique team member, Andrea, who made it all come together so nicely!

Whether you have not been in the shop lately or you are here regularly, I am sure you are going to find something new and exciting this spring to sew. As usual we have an extensive new class lineup; lots of special events or maybe you choose to join one of our National Teachers, like Angela Walters, for some dynamic machine quilting lessons; any way you choose, you are sure to have a blast!

I would also like to personally invite you to join us for a very special day in March as we Walk for Wishes to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I encourage you to join our “Stitches for Wishes” team so we can show Las Vegas that we makers can make a difference, not just with our sewing but with our legs and hearts, too. Many of the Quiltique staff and teachers will be walking that day at Town Square and we really want you guys to join us. Lots of fun will be in-store that day, also, to celebrate our walk and our accomplishment. Make sure to get the details on page 3.

A few new clubs and block-of-the-month quilts are on the horizon as well, and are sure to tickle your sewing fancy. Would you believe that Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts will be here to kick off her “Quilter’s Patch” BOM with us? Well you aren’t dreaming! Get signed up for this adorable quilt and learn a bunch of new techniques as we make these blocks month by month.

If your thing is machine embroidery, then we have the perfect two-day event for you with an OESD embroidery expert. Super SPREE in April will be the SewAPalooza of machine embroidery. Once again, no machine necessary, just show up and have an amazing time!

I hope this New Year brings you many new beginnings, new adventures, new relationships and of course, new things to create. Please enjoy this fresh and new edition of The Stash! We look forward to meeting you in the shop soon.

– Jennifer Albaugh and the entire Quiltique family

A special day not to be missed!

Saturday, March 11th Town Square Las Vegas – 8AM This spring, Quiltique is teaming up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to do some good for children in our community! Our team "Stitches for Wishes" needs your help to bring a few smiles and hope to children facing the unthinkable. We have signed up to walk and fundraise for this year’s event because wishes have the power to give children hope, strength and joy when they need it most. We as "makers" know what it means to do good for others with our hands and how showing that you care means so much to those that are suffering. Now we need not your hands, but your legs to show others how much we care.

Please join our family and staff as we walk together for an easy one mile walk at Town Square Las Vegas. The event begins at 8am and we will meet to walk side by side. Please visit our team website at http://site.wish.org/goto/quiltique and get signed up today! Registration is just $30 which goes toward our goal of $5,000. You will receive a participant t-shirt with your sign up. If you cannot join us to walk, we will also be collecting donations in the shop for this great cause.

Don’t miss the After Party…

Don’t miss these guest teachers!

The One and Only ANGELA WALTERS… here at Quiltique! She was worth the wait!

LECTURE AND TRUNK SHOW Wednesday, January 25 6:00pm – Lecture Fee: $20 Angela Walters is one of today’s most in-demand modern machine quilters (hint: she is Tula Pink’s goto quilter), but did you know that she learned to quilt from her husband’s grandfather? Grandpa Ford took her through every step of making her own nine-patch quilt and there was no denying that Angela was bit by the quilting bug. Like many modern quilters, Angela started out as a traditionalist, but as her career as a machine quilter grew, so did her love of modern quilts in all their forms. In this informal lecture, Angela will share the story of how she turned a new hobby into a thriving machine quilting business. Be prepared to examine her beautiful work up close and personal–she has a trunk full of quilts that she just can’t wait to share.

DOT-TO-DOT QUILTING 1-Day Hands-On Workshop Skill Level: Advanced Beginner Tuesday, January 24 10:00am – 4:30pm Class Fee: $65

Everyone needs a sprinkle of fun in their life!

Please welcome machine embroidery designer, VANESSA FROMM, of Fabric Confetti here to Quiltique.

LECTURE AND TRUNK SHOW Friday, February 10 6:00pm – Class Fee: $10 Join Vanessa Fromm, appliqué designer and owner of Fabric Confetti, for a trunk show featuring her large collection of delightful and whimsical quilts and designs. Together with being able to see her designs up close and personal, Vanessa will tell you how she got started with Fabric Confetti and about the interesting story behind her HappNstance line. She will also explain her method of embroidery appliqué and how she uses the Silhouette Cameo to cut all the pieces out for her projects faster and more accurately than with scissors. Come see how Vanessa sprinkles a bit of fun in her appliqué. This will be an informal and fun lecture with interaction and prizes!!!

ELEMENOPEA

Quilting intricate designs can be as easy as connecting the dots! Learn how to use points on the quilt as a guide for your quilting with minimal marking and lots of fun. You will learn how to recognize the “dots” on your quilt, different designs and how you can adapt them for you. Panera box lunch is available for $13.

BACKGROUNDS AND BORDERS 1-Day Hands-On Workshop Skill Level: Advanced Beginner Wednesday, January 25 10:00am – 4:30pm – Class Fee: $65

1-Day Hands-On Workshop Skill Level: Machine Embroidery Advanced Beginner Friday, February 10 – 10:00am – 4:30pm – Class Fee: $40*

Deciding on quilting designs for your quilt borders and backgrounds doesn’t need to be stressful or overwhelming. This informative class will show you several different designs to use in your background and borders. Angela will also show you easy ways to tackle those borders and how to tweak the designs to create different effects.

From wavy lines that create interesting texture, to interesting feather fillers, you will leave with plenty of ideas. Bring your questions and a go-for-it attitude! Panera box lunch is available for $13.

Join Vanessa to have some fun with the alphabet! In class we will create a “WORD” with her Elemenopea machine embroidery alphabet designs for “My Big Bag”, by Kenzie Mac. Use the word “SEW” that is already combined in the pattern or choose your own 3 or 4 big, bold letters from her CD. Vanessa will start the class by demonstrating how to use a Silhouette Cameo machine to cut the fabric appliqué pieces out for your chosen word (or any appliqué shapes) faster and more accurately than with scissors. After the pieces are cut, she will show you how to set up your chosen “WORD” and get your machine stitching on the embroidery appliqué letters. Come prepared to play with color and have fun. (“My Big Bag” class will follow on the regular class schedule with Lynne. See page 15 for details.) *Elemenopea Design CD is required to attend class ($60.00). Panera box lunch is available for $13.

THE STASH NEWSLETTER JANUARY – APRIL 2017

New products from ALL NEW! BERNINA RULER WORK

HELLO LOVELY!!

Introducing the all-new B 350 Special Editions and boy…are they SPECIAL! The red hot designers of Cotton & Steel Fabrics have released their best design ideas yet. (Hint…they are not on fabric!) There are not one, but two fabulous and unique designs to choose from. “Hello Lovely” features two beautiful signature C&S birds while the other showcases what we all love to do and is appropriately named “I Love Sewing”. This design features shears, signature thread and a pretty floral motif.

Valuable features of this B 350SE include a BERNINA Free Hand System, 191 stitch patterns, a powerful DC motor, BERNINA walking foot #50 and full shank presser feet.

These lovelies arrive here at Quiltique in early 2017. Stop in TODAY and get your name on one before they quickly disappear.

Ruler Work is all the rage in quilting right now! Do you have the right tools for the job?

“Ruler Work” is the use of specialized quilting rulers to create accurate, repeatable designs. Create straight lines, curved lines, scallops, waves and specific designs while free-motion quilting with the use of these rulers. While ruler work is traditionally done on a longarm machine, it can now be done on domestic machines as well.

This is something to get EXCITED about…

NEW BERNINA TOOLBOX SOFTWARE

Arriving February…
