CALL FOR APPLIQUE QUILTERS
For over ten years, The Quilt Finder has worked with master
quilters across the country to bring our customers the finest custom-designed
quilts available.
We consider our quilting artists the cornerstone of our
success and are proud to support individual artists and help them continue to
do what they love to do. Many of our
quilters have been working with us since we started back in 1990.
We are now looking for more talented hands and hope that you
and your quilt guild can help us.
Specifically, we need quilters who enjoy and excel in
applique (hand-applique, preferred) and who can also draft a simple design
sketch from a photo for customer approval.
Our greatest number of customer requests right now are for
hand-appliqued and quilted replications of detailed home scenes. Our "home quiltraits," as we have
affectionately called them, have been featured in magazines such as Victoria,
Country Living, Home, Better Homes & Gardens, and Colonial Homes as well as
major newspapers and a featured segment on the Home & Garden Network's
(HGTV) Simply Quilts show.
Do you or someone in your guild feel comfortable and
confident in your abilities to do commissioned work, like described above? We would really appreciate it if you could
spread the word at your next meeting.
Feel free to copy this message electronically or distribute it as you
see fit.
We look forward to all responses and any questions.

WORKSHOPS BY CAROLE FURE
THE WEST PASCO
QUILTERS' GUILD, INC. presents CAROLE FURE, from Danbury, Minnesota, author
of SURPRISING DESIGNS FROM TRADITIONAL
QUILT BLOCKS teaching her " MEDALLION QUILT" WORKSHOP. Two
days, Friday and Saturday, November 17th & 18th, 9:30 AM- 3:30 PM. Port Richey, Florida. Now open to non-guild
members.
In this exciting workshop Carole shares her method for
choosing quilt fabrics and colors and reveals her quick and easy formula for
determining the amounts needed for a given quilt. You'll learn how to design
dozens of different quilts, each looking totally different, from a single
block. In class you'll build a design of your own, learn to use fabrics and
color effectively, while working on your own 36" x 36" medallion
quilt. FEE: $60 for two-day class. Book: $12.72 includes tax. $ LOCATION: Day
One: Friday, Nov. 17th, Holiday Inn Express, on East side of
Hwy. 19 just 1 mile South of Hwy 52. Day Two: Saturday, Nov. 18th,
Days Inn, on the East Side of US Hwy. 19 just South of Hwy. 52.

Contact Joan Unger, 352-666-8846 or junger@atlantic.net. for
more information.
( I am tremendously excited about this lady's concepts and
her book is terrific. When I first got the book about 8 months ago I wanted to
bring her in. When I actually started working through the book myself I
couldn't believe how much fun and how easy it can be to create your own quilt
designs. I'm hearing the same thing from others who have begun preparing for
her class. She'll be doing a trunk show after our meeting on November 16, 1-3
PM, followed by a two day class. )
