OUR CHRISTMAS CARD TO YOU

Hi Everyone

ALL OF THE QUILTSMITH GANG WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OUR CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS, AND ALL THE OTHER  PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND 

A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 

(and I don't know how to put the picture of the piece of Holly in here so you will all have to imagine it.)

We have some big plans for Quiltsmith in 2014.  We would love all of you to be a part of it all.

Thanks to every one for their support in 2013.

The shop will re-open Tuesday 14 January.

On-line orders will be posted weekly until the shop re-opens.

Just in case your wondering what I will be doing over the break.  I seem to have been pulled into the vortex of Bonnie Hunter's current Mystery Quilt, along with most of the staff.  The Mystery Quilt is up to publishing it's week four instructions (yes weekly!!!) I haven't finished week one yet.  

If you would like to have a small distraction over the holidays go to 
www.quiltville.blogspot.com.  The quilt is called Celtic Soltice.  May the force be with you.

There will be photos in the New Year.

2014 CLASS LIST

Hi Everyone

Our 2014 Class List is below.  I have indicated which classes currently have vacancies.  

Please ring the shop on 02 9550 4947 to book a spot.  If we are closed , leave your name and phone number and the class you would like to book into on our answering machine and we will get back to you in January when we re-open.  Sorry we really don't have any pictures, as we haven't seen the 2014 projects yet, or the classes are to make what you want to make.

Text Box: 10% DISCOUNT ON PURCHASES OFFERED TO CLASS PARTICIPANTS ON DAY OF THE CLASS


 CLASS DETAILS 2014

With all our classes, you sign up for a set of four consecutive classes with the teacher of your choice.  Lessons are held approximately once every four weeks.  You can make any of the teacher’s available quilts in the class - it’s your choice, however some quilts will require more than four classes to complete.

 We have the right to cancel a class if insufficient bookings occur, all deposits will be fully refunded in this event. 
You book four classes at a time.  We require a 50% deposit when booking into a class.  This deposit is fully refunded if you need to cancel, provided you cancel four weeks prior to your four classes commencing.  The remaining balance of the fee is due on the date of your first class. 
If you cannot make a class, provided you have given us four weeks notice, we will transfer the class to the next class.  There is no refund for classes missed (unless four weeks notice is given), nor are they transferrable to another teacher’s class.  You can only transfer one class in each four class booking block.  We need to pay the teachers, whether you are there or not.
