Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Class updates:

Sample of Sherry Rogers-Harrison's Ink-Lique class at Milwaukee Machine Quilting ShowOne of the many drawing classes available at Milwaukee Machine Quilting Show is an exciting new process developed by Sherry Rogers-Harrison. If you like to color, then you are going to love this in-process workshop

Ink-Liqué is the unique process Sherry used on her quilt "Tribal Fusion" and "Lollapalooza" that have taken numerous ribbons and accolades. Learn the new technique that is taking the quilting world by storm! Sherry will teach her design process and all of her secrets to inking and painting success. Sherry will provide a pre-quilted "Inkling" for each student along with a variety of ink pens and markers. Paint pigments and some painting supplies will also be available for use in the classroom so you can choose your favorite method of coloring. Sherry will go over each step of this technique with you and bring oodles of inspiration (and her wonderful collection of Ink- Liqué quilts) to lead you down her colorful path.

Class #105 or #205 - Introduction to Ink-Liqué

Either Tuesday, August 3rd or Wednesday, August 4th 8am-noon

Special Announcements

Bob Purcell's class (# 422)

We are sad to announce the cancellation of Bob Purcell's class "Thread Therapy". Late yesterday we were notified of a health issue in Bob's family that requires his presence at home through the dates of the Milwaukee
Machine Quilting show. He regrets he will not be in Milwaukee for our first Great Show on a Great Lake.

Bob and his immediate family are fine. Superior Threads will be at the show.

Upcoming Changes. . .
IF class descriptions, class fees and kit fees changes we will be sending an email out to everyone and will also be notifying each student with the changes made to that class. These price reductions are from the teachers and reflect their desire to reach as many students as possible. It is also their recognition that if all of us sacrifice a bit it will be a better show for everyone.
