SATURDAY SAMPLER PROGRAM

SATURDAY SAMPLER 2010, Americana Modern. 66" x 78"

American Modern is a setting of 8 pieced blocks, two appliqué blocks (4 of each), and a pieced border. We guarantee that you will have fun dealing with the challenges presented by the blocks each month (lots of pieces, machine appliqué, quite a few bias edges, an on-point setting, etc.). To add to the learning experience, we shall from time to time provide supplementary information about Shortcut techniques that make the piecing easier and faster.

This quilt was designed by Diane Nagle for Benartex, and features the Tried & True collection of fabrics created by Nancy Halvorsen.

A deposit of $20 is required. This covers the pattern, your first block and a portion of the finishing kit (including the top and bottom sashing strips, the inner border, the outer border, and the binding). This deposit is non-refundable.

Procedures are the same as for previous years.
• The program is 12 months long.
• We meet the second Saturday of each month. As a reminder, we shall post the meeting dates both in our Newsletter and on our web site Home page: www.quiltworksabq.com.
• The first meeting is Saturday, 13 March.
• There are two sessions, one at 8:25 am and one at 8:45 am. Please sign up for one session or the other.
• Forty two (42) people will be accepted into the Program.
• Each month, pick up the kit and pattern for your block at the session for which you signed up.
• At each session, using lots of “show and tell” items, we shall give you detailed information on how to make the block.
• Go home and make the block.
• Return the next month with your completed block, and show it to your “classmates.”
• Provided you attend the Saturday session and display your completed block, there will be no charge for the kit for the next month’s block.
• Receive your kit and pattern for the next month’s block.
• Note: If you are unable to attend on any given Saturday, you may pick up your kit and pattern, at a cost of $10, later in the month. No excuses, please.
