Saturday Sampler 2009 / 2010

Saturday Sampler began on September 12, 2009. Watch here for information on the next session Saturday Sampler beginning in January 2011.

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.
