NEW BLOCK OF THE MONTH STARTS IN AUGUST
Joy is just what you feel when you look at this batik beauty! Soft golden yellow sets off cool blues, greens and teals for an impressive result. The “scrappy” use of batik fabrics in this quilt makes for a beautiful mosaic look.
We have taken all the work and expense out of making a scrappy quilt by offering this project nicely put together and packaged for you. The program will run over a 12-month period making it affordable and budget friendly. Each month you will receive a different section of the quilt. During the last month, you will receive the outer border and binding fabrics along with the included backing. The cost of this BOTM is $25 (tax included) per month, which includes the monthly pattern and all fabrics for that month’s pattern. By signing up you will agree to have Quiltique charge your credit card the monthly fee for 12 months.
Registration for this fabulous BOTM will begin now
with block distribution beginning August 1st.
Call to reserve your blocks today!

“I’m going to teach you how to learn these designs so that you can actually quilt them freehand on your own.
I know the tricks and I can’t wait to share them with you!”
---Christine Maraccini
Christine
Maraccini discovered her love for quilting many years ago when she decided to
put her sewing skills to work making baby quilts for friends who were starting
their families. She has been in love with this art form ever since and
continually looks for new approaches to the old standards. Christine began a
successful machine-quilting business in 2000 and since then she has received
various awards on the local and state level, had her work published in American Patchwork and Quilting, and
appeared on and helped create a quilt for ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Christine’s book, “Machine Quilting
Solutions,” was published in 2007. It is filled with machine quilting
information and patterns that will reiterate and complement what you learn in
class.

This great class is back once again to give all of you a chance to learn first hand how wonderful free-motion quilting can be. If you’ve been looking for a class that will cover the next step of free-motion quilting--that goes beyond meandering--this is it! Christine will cover 8 borders, 8 fills and the basics of a freehand, feathered wreath. She uses a non-marking approach and focuses on individuality and personal creativity when free-motion quilting. She has taught countless students to machine quilt. You will leave this class with the tools to return home and begin quilting some of those pieced tops that have been waiting to get finished.
Boxed Lunch available for $11 each day. “Machine Quilting Solutions” book ($26.95) required for class.

ABOUT SARAH
Sarah Vedeler, quilt artist and teacher,
combines her love of quilting and embroidery to create stunning embroidered
appliqué quilts using BERNINA Embroidery Software. As a new artist on the
scene, Sarah brings a refreshing perspective to quilting with her unique style.
Her beautifully digitized designs reflect her stated purpose in life of creating
beauty, inspiration and infinite creative joy!
January 2009 saw the birth of Jewels in
Chocolate
, a quilt Sarah made to enter in the 2009 Arizona Quilters Guild
Annual Show. It eventually won 2nd place in the Machine Embroidery Category. In February she became a Traveling Teacher for the Arizona Quilters Guild, and
she’s since taught for chapters all over Arizona. In
May 2009 she was given a heaven sent opportunity to attend the International
Quilt Market in Pittsburgh, PA. This led to several introductions, and an invitation for Jewels in Chocolate and another of her new creations, Heather
Feather aka the ‘Be You’ Quilt, to be showcased in the Brewer booth at Bernina University in San Francisco in June 2009. Then in August 2009, the first article about
Sarah as a quilter appeared in print in the August 2009 edition of Brewer
Advantage – the monthly newsletter of Brewer Quilting and Sewing Supplies that
is distributed to Bernina dealers and quilt shops across the USA.
Needless to say, Sarah’s shot to stardom has rushed to her and she has
met the challenge.
Sarah’s Favorite BERNINA Features…
“My first embroidery machine was a Bernina
Artista 165E, followed by a Bernina Artista 200E. I am now very excited and
proud to own a new Bernina 830 embroidery machine! I love my BSR for effortless
free motion quilting. I love my mega hoop and the new Jumbo hoop for all the
space to stitch out beautiful embroidered appliqué designs. After my 165E, I
thought my 200E was fast – until I tried the new 830. 
I love the speed that
allows me to get so much more done – and the quality of the stitches. And I
love the Bernina Embroidery Software which allows me to play and create
stunning embroidered appliqué designs.”
