NEW!
Secure Website
for Class Registration... New
this year, Sauder Village has a secure website to handle all class
registrations. With just the click of a mouse and your credit card in
hand, you can now register for
any
of our classes and even special event workshops offered throughout the
season as well.
"Having a secure website makes the registrations
process so much easier for our class participants," notes Andi
Erbskorn, Curator of Education. "You can now register 24/7... at your
convenience. We have already had a great response to this new online
feature from our rug hooking workshop participants and look forward to
it being just as popular with people taking our many other classes."
Don't worry though... if you would
prefer to print off the form and mail it in with your check, that is
still an option too. It's up to you!

machine, wind a bobbin and use a rotary cutter. You can sew simple
pieced designs and simple appliqué. Blocks may come out different
sizes or odd-shaped.
• You are an Intermediate quilter if you have been quilting for
several years, have taken several quilting classes, and are having
more success with piecing skills. You are learning the finer points of
pressing, cutting and adjusting seam allowances for more accuracy. You
are trying more challenging patterns and designs.

Saturday Sampler 2008...
Began
Saturday, January 12, 2008... but it is never to late to participate.
Stop into the Threads of Tradition Quilt Shop to find out
what your options are for a later entry.
Welcome to Saturday Sampler! We will be making 9" finished
sampler blocks in your choice of three different colorways.
Colorways...
Reproductions... Sherbets... or
Black & White...
Here's How It Works...
- At 8:00 and 9:00 AM, (Please note the time change from
previous years) on the second Saturday of each month, we will
introduce that month's block and give a short demonstration of a
technique or tool that can be used to make that block. These sessions
will be identical, attend only one.
- The first time you attend a Saturday Sampler demonstration, you
buy a fabric kit for $4.00. It contains the fabric for one
block in the colorway you have chosen.
- Each participant will need to purchase a copy of the book
"Better By the Dozen" by Susan Teegarden Dissmore, which
contains 12 blocks, 12 quilts and endless possibilities.
- Go home and sew the block. Bring it with you to the following
month's Second Saturday demonstration and you will get your next
fabric kit free!
There are a Few Conditions...
- If you want to make blocks in more than one colorway, that's
great! But you only get one free kit per month. You must pay for the
additional ones.
- To receive your free kit, you must either attend the demonstration
on the second Saturday at either 8:00 or 9:00 AM OR bring your
completed block to the shop anytime in the week following Saturday
Sampler... up to and including the third Saturday of the month.
- If you cannot come in during Saturday Sampler week, you can still buy that month's
kit for $4.00 while supplies last.
Bring the finished block into the shop anytime during the following
month's Saturday Sampler week and your next kit is free.
Each Month We Give Away a Door Prize...
- Every month you will have an opportunity to make the challenge
block to be eligible for the door prize. Only those persons who
complete the extra challenge will be eligible for the door prize
drawing.
- We would like to encourage you to work on a creative setting for
your sampler quilt; the extra blocks for the door prize can be blocks
you plan to use in your finished quilt or can be in a different color
for a second quilt.
