  In this class, students will learn how to design their own T-shirt quilt based on the unique clothing items they have. You will learn how to prep T-shirts and other clothing for use in quilting including rough cutting, fusing, and final cutting. You will design your own T-shirt quilt including your own layout plan, tackle unique items, and start on the T-shirt prep.

  Block of the Month with Pat Syta

  

  Pat is offering ACQ members a BOM for her pattern Runaway.  The class will be held virtually on either Monday or Tuesday evening once a month from February through September.  Exact dates will be announced later.  Each class will be recorded and if the class time does not work into your schedule, Pat will be providing a link that you can view on your own.  That will be available for 2 weeks after each class. 
  

  The class cost for the 13 blocks plus borders will be $45, payable as soon as we have 15 committed members signed up.  The normal cost of the pattern is $25, but Pat is offering ACQ members who sign up for the program a 40% discount on the pattern through her website.   
  In order to take advantage of this, we need to have at least 15 people enroll in the class. 
  

  Registration is currently open to reserve your spot.  You will be notified when it is time to pay the class fee, at that time you will be able to buy the pattern on Pat's website.
  

  * Class length: Once a month from February through September

  Come and join us for our second annual virtual retreat!  Your admission includes events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  You are welcome to come the entire time, or pop-in and out depending on your own schedule.

  The retreat fee covers your registration, a pre-retreat quilt pattern and opportunity to participate in QUILT BINGO, supplies for a project, quilt block ideas, prize drawings, games and entry into the GRAND PRIZE give away.

  Since we are virtual, you can invite friends from all across the country (and world) to experience a "winter get away" in Colorado.  The more the merrier!

  First 20 registrants get a special surprise in their registration packet.  

  REGISTRATION:

  There are two options for registration.  The first is to have your registration packet mailed - the second is for pick-up only at the next ACQ pop-up event in early February.  Mailed packets will go out in early February - so you will have everything in order when the retreat begins.

  OPTION:

  You will also have the option to participate in QUILT BINGO.  This is a pre-retreat activity in which you will create 9 patch blocks with 6 different coordinating fat quarters of your choice.  If you choose to participate, a pattern will be emailed to you with instructions and a layout suggestion for turning your BINGO board into a finished quilt.

  Learn More about Pat

  Pat started sewing when she was about twelve years old. In 1991 she began quilting when a friend she worked with talked her into taking her first quilting class. Pat was to make an eight-block sampler, but eight blocks weren’t enough of a challenge, so Pat made an eighteen block queen sized quilt, which she still sleeps under.
  
  The quilt bug hit hard. Two years after her first class, Pat began teaching at a local shop in Anchorage, Alaska.   Teaching beginners is her specialty, but she loves traveling, teaching to all levels of students and taking challenging classes herself.
  
  Pat promptly became active in three guilds when moving to Colorado. Along with some friends Pat started Parker Piecekeepers Quilt guild in Parker, became the director of Quilt Colorado in 2012, and is a past Program Chair of us --  Arapahoe County Quilters.
  

  * Class length: 6 hours
