Ahhh... Summer time. With how nice it has been in Las Vegas lately, I am a bit afraid of what we have coming heat wise this summer. Hopefully we won’t melt, but if so…it is always cool in our classroom! Summer brings vacations, outdoor enjoyment and hopefully more time spent in your sewing room as well. We have some great summer projects lined up for you and some pretty cool (no pun intended) events for you to enjoy.

My top recommendation this summer is our exciting event, SewAPalooza! Don’t plan any vacations for the end of June as this is something you won’t want to miss! Three fun filled days of sewing, learning and inspiration all to help you grow in your craft. I look forward to seeing you there! This month also brings our 11th Anniversary. It really humbles us to think of where we started, how far we have come, and how your support has given us the opportunity to do what we love. We hope Quiltique will continue, for many years to come, to be your favorite place to be inspired as you all are our inspiration every day. Thank you.

You will be given 5-10 minutes to present anything you want to the group that is sewing related. There are a few restrictions and you must sign up by July 12th to get a time slot.

They will learn their way around a sewing machine, learn and practice basic techniques, and make several finished projects including their first quilt. Our kid-friendly staff will lead students through a series of projects from the book “I Can Quilt”, giving them an opportunity to learn basic sewing skills and practice what they’ve learned.

ALL NEW BLOCK OF THE MONTH!
PARK BENCH by Jaybird Quilts
Take a walk in the Park with this fresh new design from Jaybird Quilts! This Block of the Month features eight unique blocks all created with the Sidekick & Hex N’ More Rulers also from Jaybird Quilts. There are no pesky Y-seams in this quilt, just straightforward piecing for a spectacular result! Quiltique’s version of Park Bench uses Tula Pink’s new fabric line Fox Field and also some prints from Tula’s previous line called Acacia*. Each month you’ll create two blocks from the same design but with some creative fabric placement, this quilt appears to have 15 different blocks. This block of the month is a nine month program with two blocks done during months one through seven, one block during month eight and you will receive your pieced background in the last month, which is month nine. This pattern is printed as a full color 8 1/2” x 11” book, and includes directions on how to make all 8 blocks and assemble the 65” x 88” quilt. You will be billed $18 per month (plus tax) for nine months for the program. This includes the pattern book, all fabrics and binding. Backing and required rulers are sold separately. Sign-ups begin now and your first month blocks will be available beginning August 1st. This BOM is also available for our far away friends by mail. Andrea will also be hosting a kick-off class on August 9, to demonstrate the rulers and give you some tips on this great quilt. *Please note: The full quilt pictured here is for pattern design purposes only. Different fabrics will be used for this quilt. A full quilt image was not available at time of this article printing. Please watch your email for upcoming images of the actual quilt.

Quiltique is pleased to welcome back… World Renowned Art Quilter, Katie Pasquini PAINTED, STITCHED CANVAS
Masopust…
3-day Hands-on Class Skill Level: All Skill Levels Thursday, Friday & Saturday, August 14 - 16 10 am – 4:30 pm Class Fee $195*
Come unleash your inner “arr-tee-sst”! This class combines painting and quilting for a stunning and dynamic result. Students will create layers of imagery onto thin canvas, applying fused fabrics and many layers of thin fluid acrylic paints. A color scheme is chosen and two to three canvases are painted within that color scheme. Then these canvases are cut apart and combined to create a complex composition. The reconstructed canvas is then layered with batting and backing and stitched. These stitched pieces can be then stretched on a frame ready to hang or inserted into a quilt of the same design to create a multi-textured creation. And you thought you were just a quilter! Panera box lunch will be available for $12 per day. *Required Class Materials Fee $6.

Raised with a passion for creativity and color…Quiltique is “dyeing” to welcome back Cindy Lohbeck of Hands on Hand-Dyes INDIGO ON THE GO…INTRODUCTION TO SHIBORI 1-Day Hands-On Class Skill Level: All Levels Saturday, June 7 10 am – 4:30 pm Class Fee: $55 • Kit Fee: $100*
“Shibori” is a term that encompasses many different methods of dyeing patterns into cloth by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, and compressing, using an unexpected set of tools as “resists.” While the roots of Shibori are predominantly from Japan, many cultures have put their own twist on things. Now you can learn a modern and fresh approach to ancient techniques, and create your own collection of beautiful cotton Shibori fabrics. Along with our modern take on tools and techniques, we will also take a new look at indigo dyes. Hands On Hand Dyes will provide each student with their own set of reusable Shibori tools, dye, fixatives, detergent, coaching, and ample 100% “PFD” cotton fabric to explore each of the Shibori methods learned. This is a technique driven class! Panera box lunch will be available for $12. *Kit must be ordered by 5/24/14 at www.handsonhanddyes.com. Look for the Class Reservations under the Hands on Classes tab. Those without prior kit reservation will not be permitted to take the class and no class refund will be given.

ALL NEW – Modern Basics Classes at Quiltique!
We are happy to announce a few fresh, new basic classes to our lineup with a brand new teacher! Help us welcome local pattern designer Christa Watson to our team. She is a Las Vegas native who discovered quilting back in 1994. She recently fell head over heels for modern quilting after attending QuiltCon in 2013 (where her first modern quilt was accepted into the show). Since that time, she has become a self-proclaimed cheerleader for the modern movement. Her modern quilt designs have been featured by the International Modern Quilt Guild, the Electric Quilt Company, Camelot Fabrics, and on the cover of Quilty magazine. What she loves most about modern quilting is the freedom to be yourself, and the philosophy that a quilt doesn’t have to be perfect in order to be both functional and beautiful. Christa lives in the southwest part of town with her husband and three children who all think it’s normal that quilting takes over a large part of the house! Check out Christa’s new Modern Basic offerings:

Students will practice on samples provided, and they are encouraged to bring in their tops (or basted quilts) for a discussion of possible quilting ideas.*Kit purchase required Modern Machine Quilting ($20.00).

Quiltique will also have an adorable kit availble for just $79 for those of you who enjoy the "no-brainer" option! We will have delicious food for lunch reminiscent of Grandma’s home-style cooking and lovely summer garden. Fried chicken, potato salad, and watermelon for lunch and of course, apple pie for dessert! Grandma always knows how to fill our tummies and warm our hearts. Join us on Saturday, May, 24th or Monday, August 25th for just $30. A memorable day is in store for you. What are you waiting for?

Meet Our Staff and Teachers…
Wendy Christenson
Wendy joined the Quiltique family in January 2013, bringing with her a wonderful attitude and infectious laugh. When you visit the shop you usually see her on the fabric side, but soon you will also see her in the classroom. We are pleased she has ventured into teaching and we are sure you will enjoy taking classes with her! Wendy, her husband and three of their four sons (one is in Utah) have called Las Vegas home since 2011. Wendy was born and raised in Ogden, Utah. She was a natural at sewing beginning at the young age of nine. Her 5th grade teacher was impressed with how she took to the machine and became her aide for the sewing class. “The fun part about sewing is picking the pattern and fabric, it’s very creative and I like that”, says Wendy. If Wendy is not sewing, she is enjoying many other things such as reading historical romance novels, watching Japanese Anime (cartoons) and partaking in anything to do with speed, whether it is watching Nascar, riding roller-coasters or four-wheelers. She is a talented, fun loving person who we are pleased to have as part of our Quiltique family. The Stash | May 2014 – August 2014
