Now that you've had some time to look over the new Summer Class schedule, it's time to sign up for classes and have some fun at PSQ this summer. And we're here to make it easy AND save you some money, too! Now through Sunday, June 26 when you sign up for a class (or several) you can save 20% on your entire purchase (excluding gift certificates, class fees and sale items). That's like having your very own
Our classroom is bright and air conditioned, each student has her own table and soft, comfy chair AND we have the best teachers anywhere! We have a wide range of classes for all levels of quilters and as long as one person signs up for a class, it's a go! No more buying your supplies then finding out the class was cancelled due to low attendance (like at some other shops). And even when the open house discount is over, you always save 15% on your class supplies and on the day of your class you save 15% off your entire purchase. Summer is the perfect time to take a class, meet some friends, learn a new technique (or two!) and make something beautiful!
And if you need another chance to check out the classes, here's a link to our newsletter siterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/00875201106060515008536.pdf
Batavia Quilt and Textile Show - Deadline Extended!
You still have time to submit your application for the Batavia Quilt and Textile Show this July 15 - 17. The deadline to submit your application (and only your application - quilts aren't due until mid July!) is now July 1. Just go to www.bataviaquiltshow.com and click on the exhibitor application form. Fill it out and drop it off at the shop (I'll take care of getting it to the right people for you) or you can drop the forms at the Batavia Depot Museum. It's easy - no excuses!
And don't forget they will have a special display of Patriotic Themed quilts so pull out your red, white and blue quilts and show them off! It's the patriotic thing to do! Plus they are also looking for more vintage quilts so search your closets, attic and blanket chest for those vintage beauties you have tucked away.
To make it even easier, we have pre-made sleeves available for sale at PSQ. Just trim the sleeve to fit the size of your quilt and sew (or safety pin) them on. Easy Peasy! Now, what are you waiting for?
