Letter from the Top
Jeff Benedict, Owner

Hi Friends/Customers,
The above greeting is exactly what I am writing about this month-how beginning as a customer develops into a great friendship. Accomplish Quilting takes great pride in how customers become our friends. That makes sense because we have one strong bond that we share-quilting!
Many times people come to visit us at a trade show or come into our stores unannounced, having never met us before or even talked to us on the phone. How do they find us? They come as referrals or through our website. People all over the country, research online and as a result want to visit us at shows or simply just show up in one of our three stores. Here is where the friendship begins! People bond over shared interests and passions. It is no different in the quilting world!
We have relationships with our customers dating back from the days when Loretta and Clarence started the business 18 years ago with their son Jeff. Those relationships have lasted through multiple machine purchases over the generations.
Today, many of those same customers are trading in their old machines for a new Innova. Why? Because we build a relationship of trust, integrity and commitment to serve their needs. They become part of our AQ family.
Employees that work for AQ spend a great deal of time on the phone with every sale, delivery/installation, training and support throughout the months and years. Real relationships are formed and real friendships have been cemented. You can hear our employees on the phone at any of our stores talking to a customer and you would swear they were simply talking to a friend.
At AQ we take friendships seriously and value the trust our friends put in us.
If you are not already part of our AQ family, please join us! We love making new friends!
Jeff Benedict
Owner, Accomplish Quilting

In Michigan we are featuring talented local quilter Tami Calhoun. She started sewing at the age of 8 and learned from her mother who sewed clothing. Tami's grandmothers were quilters and she grew up surrounded by their quilts. When Tami was in high school she taught herself how to piece a quilt and since then it has just continued! Tami enjoys making "scrappy" quilts. She added Navigator computerized system to her INNOVA 26 with Lightning Stitch over a year ago and has finished dozens of quilts with it since. Make sure to visit us if you are in the area- or watch our FaceBook page for a peek at her collection.

Quilter of the Month: Tami Mantsch
|
|
It all started with a jelly roll.........
Our April Quilter of the Month is Tami Mantsch. Tami started piecing in November of 2016. She was with her friend from Iowa who quilts and made a quilt from a jelly roll from MSQC. Tami fell in love with it and thought that she could do it too. Her quilting journey began with that quilt. Quilting began as therapy and turned into an obsession. She illustrates how far someone can come in a short amount of time. Thank you Tami for sharing your quilts with us. Please stop in and enjoy her work during the month of April.

QUILTERS THAT PARTICIPATED:

Quilting Team of the Month:
Brigitte and Eric Long of GR8QUILTS
|
|
|
This year this quilting-power-couple will be celebrating their 34
th
wedding anniversary!
In the early 90’s while Eric was serving in the military, based in Fort Bliss Texas, Brigitte found a hobby in quilting. Eric purchased Brigitte her first sewing machine while stationed there.
In the early 2000’s Brigette taught Eric to piece while living in Fort Knox, Ky.
Fast forward to 2018: Brigette is an accomplished longarmer and Eric is an accomplished piecer.
Most of Eric’s quilts are pieced in his Semi-Truck as he travels the country!
Some of Brigette’s many talents include fabric painting, fabric dying, and quilting leather. They give back to the community whenever they can through the Quilts of Valor Organization and many donated quilts in the community. They are members of the Top Tenn guild and Lakeshore Quilters locally.
Their display of quilts highlights their teamwork and includes some very special projects. Eric’s first quilt he ever pieced is on display, as well as his most recent, one of which is a quilter’s word search!
Eric and Brigette added a special thank you to Melinda’s fabric shop and Accomplish Quilting, TN for their years of support!

This month Julie Lillo, Sales and Education Manager and a very accomplished quilter herself, will share with us how to properly thread your Innova Longarm Quilting Machine.
Are you having trouble with your thread breaking? Are you having tension trouble?
One of the first things you might check to see is if your machine is threaded properly.
Even with the best intentions, sometimes we make a very simple mistake that can cause issues. So check your threading if you are having issues.
