For the month of March 2010 only, CQA/ACC offers the following to both members and non-members:

You and a friend can register for available QC2010 quilting classes for the price of $250 plus GST.  (This is $131.25 per day class per person). Your registration includes a $10 voucher for lunch and a $15 admission ticket to the Exhibit area. You must register at the same time and these registrations are non-refundable.

If you have already registered for classes at Quilt Canada 2010, you can still take advantage of this promotion.  Refer a friend and if they register and pay for class in March, they will receive the discounted price of $131.25 per day class and you will receive a refund of $40, payable after the conference. 

Justhands-on TV is the UK's first on-line tv website devoted to patchwork, quilting and mixed media textile arts. The site is full of workshops, demonstrations and tips.  Since it's on line it's available at any time of the day or night. Registration is free, but to enjoy the full delights of the site and to access over 50 video/films you do need to be a full member.  If any of your guild members have textile art/quilts that they wish to sell, or organise a quilting holiday, there is a small ads section for that.     www.Justhands-on.tv

Hello all Quilters and Friends,

 

It is with great pleasure that I send to you the Christmas issue of the Newsletter created by the Calgary Quilt Canada Committee 2010. It will help answer some of your questions and let you know what we have planned for you. If you have more questions, please submit them to either Karen or Heather whose addresses are at the bottom of this newsletter. As my newsletter address list keeps growing all the time, I would suggest that you all go to the CQA website (www.canadianquilter.com) and find the previous 3 issues. The website has been updated and you will find the latest information about the Conference. Also please forgive us if you receive several copies -- I get mailing lists from several different sources so there may be repetition.

If you are a CQA Provincial Rep I am requesting that you forward it to all guilds in your province and other interested 'parties'. All of you, please feel free to share with friends - we want everyone to know that we are planning a terrific conference and quilt shows here in Calgary!

 

Sincerely,

 

Karen Jurek
