Demo Days

If you have been following along, you know that our Classroom went through a major overhaul last month. The walls, floors, and ceilings were all given new finishes, and we updated the furnishings, and lighting. We also added some fun new things, and we have some more new decor to hang yet.
To celebrate our new space, we are going to host a Demo Days Weekend May 9-11, so that you can all come see the changes!
Thursday morning starting at 10am and running until 11:30. Esther and I will be sharing our favorite notions with you, what we use them for and why we like them so much. We will do another session later in the afternoon starting at about 3pm and running until 4:30.
Beginning at 1pm on Thursday we will play a game based on Scattergories but with a quilters twist. You need to pre-register for this game, the sign up fee is $10, and this will be returned to you as Chicken Feed Quilts Cash for spending during the event. If you don't come you will forfeit your registration fee.
You can sign up for the event by clicking on the link below.

Friday we will follow the same Schedule but our fun event in the afternoon will be a new presentation by Rob from Trendtex. The presentation is titled How??? and is new to us as well.
The presentation will begin at 1pm and like the game you need to pre-register and pay the sign up fee for this event.

There will also be a demo session on Saturday morning from 10-11:30am.

All the demos will be an open house type of event, just pop in to see us and we will show you some of our favorites products, there is no need to register and you can come at point during the time frame, for example you do not need to be there from 10am all the way until 11:30.

We will have snacks and beverages from the Chrysalis Cafe throughout the weekend, and there may even be some specials as well.

Come out next weekend to see our new space and all the new features that have been added.

April Events

April is right around the corner and usually I would share our next list of classes but we are not having much for classes this next month because are we doing a major renovation of our classroom.
If you have been in our classroom, it is currently a lot of concrete and brick. But in a few weeks it should be all dry walled and painted with some fresh flooring on the floor and a new ceiling above. We are also getting some custom cutting tables and ironing stations built for the space, as well as some design boards to hang on the walls. There will also be a Smart TV hooked up for some video classes and demos. All of this combined should make for an inviting space for you to come and participate in classes, clubs and sew days.

We put a deadline on the people who are doing the renovations for us, and said we would love to have it done by April 25 so that we could host our Bionic Gear Bag Workshop in our brand new space. They were a little shocked and asked when they could start and we said April 2, but we let them in a couple days early and they started today, will take a break while we have our sale and start up again on Monday.

For those interested the Bionic Gear Bag Workshop is a 2 day event taking place on April 25 and 26. We will be making the Bionic Gear Bag, and Esther and I will give instruction and we will also have some video support from Sally Thompson the designer of the bag. It is $100 to attend and this includes the instruction, pattern lunch for both days and snacks. The supplies are an extra fee and need to be purchased at our shop. 
This Bag was designed to hold all your sewing tools in one convenient bag and still stay organized with a variety of zipper compartments and pouches. It could also be used for any other tools from another hobby, or for your cosmetics or as a way to keep all the little things together while travelling.
I have chosen to use a few pieces from the new line from Bonnie and Camille Little Snippets, I just love the measuring tape and think it will be great for the exterior of the bag.
Their are limited spots available so sign up by clicking the link below to register for the event.

Don't forget our big Spring Clearance Sale starts on Thursday at 10am and continues until Saturday afternoon and we will add new bolts each morning.
