Do you like the colorful strip-pieced quilt posted below! Join Heather's Seminole Club and learn to make one for yourself! The club meets on the last Monday of every month from 6:00 to 9:00. This quilt is also quilted in sections with the borders added after - a great technique that Heather has mastered and that you appreciate. Heather is our talented Machine Quilting teacher as well, and you will appreciate the dancing couples that she quilted on this piece. Over 60 hours of work went into her motifs - best viewed in person from the back of the quilt!



Hi! Everything is settling down and getting ready for fall - and do we ever have a busy schedule ahead! Our 10th Shop Hop North is scheduled for September 11, 12 & 13th. Look for specials in all the stores participating! For example, bundles of 10 fat quarters will only be $19.99!

We are also planning our second Customer Appreciation on September 22 (south store) and September 23 (north store)! Join us for supper, snacks & surprises as we continue to celebrate Johnson's 40th year!

Creative Stitches is October 2nd and 3rd at the Mayfield Inn. Quilter's Dream will once again have a large space, complete with demos and many displays! We are looking forward to hosting Leslie Chaisson, an Albertan with her first book out from Martingale! She will be in the booth doing book signings, and then in our south store on October 4th doing a special class that you don't want to miss.

Check out our website at www. quilters-dream.ca and click on the link for our fall class brochure. We have three new teachers and many new clubs and classes to offer!

Fibre Arts Club


Hi! Darlene is doing a Fibre Arts Club starting in October! Meet once a month and push your creativity to the limit -without fear and with fun! Darlene firmly believes that EVERYONE has a creative bone in your body. Just exercise it regularly and it will get stronger! This picture was taken at our Quilt Retreat last fall when a select group was painting Silk Organza with Tsukineko Inks. We'll do this and more during the Fibre Arts Club this year!

Cloud 9!
