Kimberbell Merry & Bright Event

AQR'S TIMELESS WITH A TWIST BLOCK OF THE MONTH PROGRAM INCLUDES 

• The Pattern – Timeless with a Twist Pattern by Michelle Hiatt– Each month you will receive a new color booklet with detailed step by step instructions to make the 12 blocks &  all 3 Setting Options (yes, all are included with your pattern)  You do not have to decide on a setting when registering, but you will need to get enough fabric for the entire quilt.  
• Bonus Content - The pattern also includes the history of each block and a bonus block used in setting option 1.  
• Lessons on Color – Throughout the program, we will be talking color and learn more on how to use it in not only this quilt, but in all of your projects.  
• Technique Building – This program was designed to help build on your quilting techniques no matter your skill level.  
• Lots of Helpful Hints & Tips for Beautiful Piecing!  Our meetings will be filled with hints, tips and tricks to help you grow as a quilter.  
• You Choose Your Own Fabrics: As with all of our BOM programs, the choice of fabric is yours.  you can pick the fabrics of your choice.  A specific kit is not required and you are welcome to use fabrics from your own stash.  However, we do have a nice selection of fabrics in our shop and have stocked up on many Fat Quarter Bundles specifically with this program in mind.  It's up to you what you use but remember we are here to help! 
• Unmatched Support – At AQR we pride ourselves on being available to help and guide you with any project, but especially with the classes & programs we offer.  We want to see you finish your quilt and continue to grow as a quilter so we offer continued support by making ourselves available to you throughout the program and beyond.
• Red Ticket Fun!! – What are those red tickets you ask?  They are an added bonus & our way to help keep you on track by adding a little more fun to our monthly programs.  Red tickets are earned by our program participants each month in a number of ways while attending our meetings and are later used for prizes & lots of great quilting gifts not only throughout the program but at our Showcase Event. 
• Open Sew/Classroom Time after each of our meetings – After each of our Saturday meetings, we will open our classroom at no additional charge for our participants to stay and work on your BOM.  We have found this additional time a good way to connect with fellow quilters and to keep everyone motivated to finish each section of the quilt.  Our new classroom is very large but stations can be limited so please Register prior to Saturdays meeting to ensure we have a station reserved for you.   
• Chance to Win the Quilting of Your Quilt Top – For each participant that completes their quilt top, attends our Showcase event, and has their un-quilted top on display at our event, they will be entered in a drawing where one lucky winner will win the money toward the cost of the professional quilting of their finished quilt top*. 
• Party, Party, Party!!– Although all of our meetings can seem like a party, at the completion of our program and after allowing some time for everyone to finish their quilts, we will host a BOM Showcase Event to reveal each of the finished quilts. Complete with an evening of seeing the finished quilt tops, we will also have prizes for our red ticket winners and announce the winner of the quilting of their top. 

*Professional quilting is valued up to $70 by one of our preferred Professional Quilters.
