While I have my “business brain” engaged, let’s talk business stuff first, ok? We have a few dates upcoming of events/classes you don’t want to miss!!! Really…great stuff here for you. Get out your calendars and phones and save these dates: you’ll be glad you did! | |
If you’re a long arm quilter, wanting to know more about the QCT Software uses, know that we still have a very few seats available for Joyce Blowers’ classes. Dates are May 3, 4 and/or 5. Each class is very reasonably priced at $130 per class. Each day will take you deeper into the subject matter and possibilities. Light lunch will be provided; our longarm machines will be set up for you to practice; you will be able to ask questions of Joyce; you will be both exhilarated and tired if you take all three days, but you will leave with a wealth of knowledge. We have at least 4 people flying in from far-away states to take advantage of this opportunity, so don’t miss it if this is where your interest lies | |
June 3….definitely plan on being with us that day!!! It is my 13th Anniversary as owner of Sun Valley Quilts, and I’m pitchin’ a party for YOU to celebrate! It will be one day only, a Saturday, and I hope you come in and bring everyone you know! What’s a party without people with whom to share your joy ?!?! It seems like forever and yet just yesterday. And I look forward to another 13 more, at least. Please join us June 3, where you get all the presents and I get to channel Marie Antoinette when I say “Let them eat cake!” There will be gifts, special giveaways, specialty prices (really good prices!!!), and more. Come have fun with us and help the crew and me celebrate this special time. | |
June 10, prior to Father’s Day, we have a real treat for you. Our true celebrity chef/customer has agreed to share her skills with you to allow you to host a very special Father’s Day of your own!! How cool is that! Laurel will be here, in full chef regalia with her sous chef, to WOW you with all that can be done. She will share recipes, decorations, table setting ideas and more. Best yet---she will have samples!!! You need to sign up for this free event so that Laurel will know how many to expect at the party. In concert with what Laurel will be bringing to you, Cora will be sharing ideas for things that we can sew, like an apron from a man’s dress shirt (and oh, so cute!) and ideas of what to do with the leftover sleeves! Also, a quick presentation for you on how to make Dad a rope bowl, coaster, or a place to throw his keys…he’ll find a use for it if you make it for him! We already have the signup sheet for you in the book at the front desk, and we NEED you to sign up for this one even though it is a free event to you. This is our June SEW SMART, so don’t miss it. If this is your first time at SVQ with us, enjoy yourself and check us out…we’d love to be your home shop, and this will be a great introduction of what we offer. Minus Laurel’s talents, of course! Meet Cora, also, since she teaches Make and Take classes and is one of our machine Mastery instructors. If you’re already a loyal customer, we say Welcome Back, enjoy the day, get inspired, and Thank You!!! |  | |
June 20 and 21, let your green thumb shine when you take our unique embroidery class of potted plants. Not the flat ones on a backing, but three dimensional ones of your choice of sizes to fill your favorite cache pot (French for plant pot when the “t” in pot is silent!). It should be a great and fun class, and Jan has enjoyed it so much she’s already made three pots to sew. Class is filling quickly, so don’t snooze and lose, just sign and pay to reserve your spot. | |
BERNINA University is the end of June, so we will soon know what new things they have in store for all of us. Lynn and I will be training in Dallas, and others from the crew will be training via zoom at the shop. We will likely have lots of new info. to impart, as well as new machine models. And who knows what else?!?! | |
Now, we have saved a lot of June dates, and we have many classes daily to finish out April and also in May, so please check the website at www.sunvalleyquilts.com for these. The above list is just a bit extra-special, and I want to catch a place on your calendar ASAP. Special for the week will be blenders, all those rows and rows of beautiful blenders, at 15% off when you give us the code BLENDERS15, in shop or online. Remember: BLENDERS15. We hope we’ve managed to make you smile while you’re shopping with us, over the phone, or reading this, and that we’ll hear from you and/or see you soon! | |
