INTRODUCING QUILTIQUE’S
STAR CLUB
Because we want to thank you for your outstanding loyalty to our store, we have created a new club for those of you who spend the majority of sewing dollars with us. We know you work hard for your money and that you could spend it in hundreds even thousands of other places, especially other quilting and sewing stores. This is why we have created the Star club. If you are a member of the Star Club you will receive these special benefits in our shop:
*Invitation to shop our sales a day early
*Receive $10 off our Special Event Classes
*Special bonus point days to help increase your fabric/Bernina accessory reward points faster
*Receive a coupon for 3 free classes per year (excluding special events)
*A special party every year for members
Entry into the club is evaluated on an yearly basis and is based on total dollars spent at Quiltique for the entire year including machines. If you have reached the goal for 2010, then beginning January 1st, 2011 your club rewards would begin and would last the entire year. You will have to qualify every year to be in the club for the next year. A special notification and club card will be mailed to you at the end of each year if you have reached the reward goal. Please direct all your questions and inquiries about balances to rewards@quiltique.com as Quiltique staff does not have access to balance information.
Again, thank you for choosing us - we truly appreciate your business!

QUILTIQUE’S 3rd ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE
Benefiting the Children of Southern Nevada
It is time again for our November food drive as we partner with Three Square to provide some much needed nourishment to the many needy children of Clark County. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the facts:
* Out of the over 300,000 students in the Clark
County School District,
48% receive free and reduced-price meals.
In other words approximately 144,000 school children are hungry. That’s
enough children to fill the Thomas & Mack
Center about seven times.
* 31,000 children under the age of 18 are served each month by Three
Square’s Agency Partners.
* One in eight households in Nevada
struggle with hunger
These numbers are staggering but we all can do something to help. Three Square, a local food bank serving Southern Nevada, has a “BackPack Program” to support the children of Clark County. Hundreds of children’s backpacks are filled every Friday with nutritious and non-perishable food for the weekend.
Let’s help fill those backpacks and do some good for the children in our
community. During the month of November
bring in items from the Wish List below and receive a special discount for your
generosity. For each “pack” of items you bring in you will receive a discount
off any one bolt fabric cut, book, pattern or quilting notion. (A “pack”
consists of a 6 pack of juice boxes for example.) The maximum discount per donation is 40% per
the table below. You may donate three times (on three different days) to
receive this discount. Your discount
must be used on an item the same day you donate. You may, of course, donate more but only
three donations will qualify for the discount.
(1) pack = 10% off (3) packs = 30% off
(2) packs = 20% off (4) packs = 40% off
Quiltique will also donate $1 for every pound
of food donated by you. With every $1
donated, Three Square is able to distribute one
meal to someone in need. Our goal this
year is 500 pounds of food to beat previous years; so lets join together to
make a child’s day.
Wish List for Backpacks: (Please keep in mind that all items need to be kid-friendly, pop-top items, requiring no refrigeration and/or preparation.)
Entrée Items – *MOST IN NEED
*BBQ Chicken, 7.5oz., pop-top

NEW BLOCK OF THE MONTH STARTS IN AUGUST
Joy is just what you feel when you look at this batik beauty! Soft golden yellow sets off cool blues, greens and teals for an impressive result. The “scrappy” use of batik fabrics in this quilt makes for a beautiful mosaic look.
We have taken all the work and expense out of making a scrappy quilt by offering this project nicely put together and packaged for you. The program will run over a 12-month period making it affordable and budget friendly. Each month you will receive a different section of the quilt. During the last month, you will receive the outer border and binding fabrics along with the included backing. The cost of this BOTM is $25 (tax included) per month, which includes the monthly pattern and all fabrics for that month’s pattern. By signing up you will agree to have Quiltique charge your credit card the monthly fee for 12 months.
Registration for this fabulous BOTM will begin now
with block distribution beginning August 5st.

About Debbie:
For the last 2 years Debbie Homer has been Jenny Haskins Products Division Manager for RNK Distributing.

Her childhood on the farm was the perfect setting for her introduction to sewing. She constructed most everything she wore, and learned all facets of “Home Dec” and quilting. It became her passion.

A note from Joanie…
Hello
Vegas Stitchers! I am so delighted to have the opportunity to
include you in my workshops offered at Quiltique. Even after 35 years, I still
love everything about quilting and it is a privilege to share my skills and
innovative ideas through teaching. The classroom has become a very comfortable
place for me; and making students feel at ease puts them in the best frame of
mind to learn. Please understand that I do know my quilts look intimidating,
but trust me when I tell you that free-motion quilting is just one more skill
that you can learn to use your machine for and that it is my job to teach you
all you need to know to complete the project. I believe that the strongest
factor in learning anything new is desire, so bring your best machine and a
positive attitude and you may surprise yourself!
Oh, I can hardly wait, - Joanie

Holiday Sew and Stuff Pillowcase Event
Benefiting Southern Nevada’s Homeless
Saturday, December 4th
10 am to 4pm
Part of the 1 Million-Pillowcase Challenge
Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference
This December, Quiltique will host its third and final
Pillowcase Challenge Event in support of the 1 Million-Pillowcase Challenge
from “American Patchwork & Quilting” magazine. This is a yearlong challenge to create and
donate one million pillowcases to local charities across the country. We have provided comfort for kids with
cancer, encouragement for battered women and children and now it is time to
bring hope to the homeless. We will
spend a relaxing day, away from the holiday hustle and bustle, to do something
good for another person. It is the
holidays, which are hardest for many homeless Americans and we have a chance to
give a bit of hope this Christmas.
Starting September 1st, Quiltique will begin taking donations for toothbrushes,toothpaste, brushes or combs, bars of soap, and small bottles of shampoo. Then, on Saturday, December 4th, we will sew pillowcases (of course) and also “stuff” the pillowcases. We hope to provide someone with a bit of comfort from both our pillowcases and what is inside them. Warm soup will be served as we sew and stuff all day. Fabric donations will be accepted for this event as well as fabric provided by us. These pillowcase packages will be donated to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission and Shelter of Hope.
We here at Quiltique are so grateful for such a tremendous effort by those of you who have volunteered your time and money to help out this fantastic cause. Our first event in February was a smash hit. Sew-per Bowl Saturday yielded 340 pillowcases that were donated to Safe Nest and The Shade Tree Shelter. Our 2nd event benefiting ConKerr Cancer went even further to provide over 400 pillowcases to children with cancer. To date, Quiltique has donated over 1,000 pillowcases through your generosity. We are still collecting pillowcases in the basket at the front of the shop for those pillowcases that you sew at home. Fill out the card each time you drop them off so that we can recognize you for your generosity. There will be a gift certificate prize at the end of 2010 for the person who donates the most pillowcases.Make sure to check the special website at http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases/ where you can print out free pillowcase patterns and watch the pillowcase counter track the progress to the million mark. They add new pillowcase patterns every quarter so keep checking back. We hope you will join in the fun and do a good deed for someone less fortunate. Give us a call to join in our Holiday “Sew & Stuff” Pillowcase event or get sewing at home to make your commitment to this challenge today. Someone will love you for it!
