Saturday Sampler 2009
Saturday Sampler will begin on September 12,
2009. We will be using the Star Light, Star Bright pattern designed
by Bits ‘N Pieces. You can set the blocks together in any way you
choose, but the quilt pictured here is one possible design that could be
made using all the blocks from the next session. The blocks in the
monthly kits will be 12” blocks and the challenge blocks will be the
same pattern sewn in 9” and 6” sizes. Color choices will include 1930”s
reproduction fabrics, batiks in shades of blue/green/purple, or prints
in contemporary shades of soft teal, green, and browns. We will have fat
quarter “lampshades” available in each colorway for use in making the
challenge blocks. Registration for the September 2009 Saturday Sampler
can be easily completed either in the shop or online.
Here's How It Works:
- At 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. 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 complete
pattern Star Light, Star Bright by Bits ‘n Pieces which contains 12
blocks, and instructions for piecing those blocks in either 12”, 9”
and 6” sizes. It also contains instructions for several ways to set
the quilt together using all three sizes of blocks.
- Go home and sew the 12” block. Bring it with you to the following
month’s Second Saturday demonstration and you will get your next 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 a.m.
OR bring your completed block into 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 that
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
blocks to be eligible for the door prize. Only those persons who
attend a session and complete the extra challenge will be eligible
for the door prize drawing.
- If you want to make the quilt as pictured, you will need to make
all three sizes of each block. Or, if you would like to work on your
own 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.
Inclement Weather:
- In the event of bad weather we will notify the following radio
stations of our cancellation by 6:30 a.m. on the morning of Saturday
Sampler. Please listen to these stations for information. If you
cannot receive any of these stations you may call 1-800-590-9755
after 6:30 a.m. and the receptionist will know if Saturday Sampler
has been cancelled.
