Quilter Skill Level Definitions • A Beginner is eager to learn and can sew a fairly straight line with a sewing machine.
• You are an Advanced Beginner if you know how to thread the sewing 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.
• You are an Advanced quilter if you have mastered all the basic skills. You have begun designing your own quilt blocks and patterns, combining designs from various sources, and learning more advanced techniques to enhance your work.

Saturday Sampler 2012-2013
Saturday Sampler will begin on September 8, 2012 and continue for twelve months, ending in August 2013. The color choices will be Earth Tone Batiks, Red/Blue/Tan, or Cool Colored ( blues, greens, purple ) Solid fabrics.
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 $5.00. It contains the pattern and fabric for one block in the colorway you have chosen.
- Go home and sew the 12” block. Bring it with you to the following month’s Saturday Sampler 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 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 $5.00 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.
- You can make the quilt as pictured in the pattern 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.
Special Notes about the 2012-2013 Saturday Sampler:
- The block patterns this year are more advanced than we have done in the past several years, but if you cut and sew accurately you will end up with a beautiful quilt—it may just take a little more time to stitch each block. There is no book to buy this year, since the patterns will be included in each month’s kit. The pattern is designed by Marti Michell who is famous for her Perfect Patchwork Templates. The cost of one template set is less than the cost of the average book. The patterns suggest the use of two sets of her templates, but each pattern also includes a set of paper templates which can be traced and used. Template Set A includes squares, half square triangles and quarter square triangles and we will tell you how you can rotary cut those shapes. Template Set C includes other more unusual shapes and you may want to purchase that packet to make the construction easier and more accurate.
Inclement Weather:
- During the last six years, we have never needed to cancel Saturday Sampler due to weather. Since you have the option of bringing your completed block into the shop any time during the week following Saturday Sampler, we will not cancel unless the roads are impossible for us to get here. If you feel the weather is too bad to travel, please stay home on Saturday Sampler day and visit us on the day of your choice in the following week. If we do decide to cancel due to extreme weather, we will not try to reschedule, but will postpone that month’s lesson until the next month. If you need to know if the class is cancelled, you may call 800-590-9755 after 6:30 a.m. and the receptionist will know if Saturday Sampler has been cancelled.
