Quilt drop off at Ann Gaber’s house. (Find her address in the directory.)
Each quilt needs a pillowcase with your name and phone number on it. Each quilt needs to have a label.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO DROP OFF YOUR QUILT ON AUGUST 8 AT THE GUILD MEETING OR ON AUGUST 24 AT ANN GABER’S HOUSE, GET A FRIEND TO DO IT FOR YOU AT ONE OF THESE TWO TIMES.
by Sue Isaac
Bring the quilts you entered in the show during the social half hour before the guild meeting starts.
Remember each quilt needs a pillowcase with your name and phone number on it. It also needs a label.
NOTE: Challenge Quilts (only) can be dropped off after the meeting instead of before.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
If you cannot bring your quilts on this date, there is another option: You can bring them to Ann Gaber’s house on Saturday, August 24 between 9AM and 1PM. Find her address in the directory.

We invite you to the APQS Road Show Longarm Experience in Tallahassee. This FREE event is your chance to test drive one of our longarm quilting machines to discover the model that is right for you.
REGISTRATION
Preregistration is requested. You can register by filling out the form at this link https://bit.ly/42MJmsy or calling us at 800-426-7233.
(NOTE – RSVPing to this Facebook event will NOT save your spot.)
On the day of the Road Show, please plan to attend the full duration of the event. Most shows take about three hours, and throughout the course of the event we cover a lot of important information. This allows all attendees to have a shared understanding of the machines when it comes time for that all-important test drive.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Designed for quilters who do not currently own a longarm machine or current owners who are looking to upgrade, the 3 1/2 hour FREE seminar includes valuable information about owning your first longarm.
– Discover resources for templates, batting, freehand instruction manuals, wholesale contacts, thread, etc.
– Find out where to buy pantograph patterns, books and stencils to make your longarm quilting fun and hassle-free.
– Learn business philosophies, products and services, pricing, marketing and income forecasting. (You’ll even get a Sample Business Plan.)
– Explore the differences between each APQS machine model and adding computerized quilting to a new or previous APQS machine.
– Learn which accessories are the “gotta haves” to make your quilting fast and easy.
– Learn how to oil, clean and service your machine to provide years of quilting fun.
If you’re ready to purchase a quilting machine, we have over $5,000 in exclusive discounts available to Road Show attendees. We hope to see you at our next show!

Our 6-hour workshop is an introduction/refresher to foundation paper piecing. We will construct 2 different star/compass designs starting with a very elementary one: a 7”-4 or 8 pointed star and finish off with a 14” wide X 19” high 24-point oval. It’s all the same techniques!
This class provides a safe environment to learn foundation paper piecing, no tiny pieces. You will also learn to calculate how to cut fabric pieces that FIT the different sections. You don’t have to guess or end up with sections that are all bias edge.
Class fee: $30 which includes all patterns and instructions. Supplies list provided with paid registration.
