Congrats to Connie, Dallas Show and more

This month Connie was in Des Moines, Iowa at the Rep Rally for APQS American Quilting Systems for classes and training Connie was awarded the Top salesman award for the company.
I asked her what her thoughts were and she said, "This is a job that I JUST LOVE!!!! I feel so fortunate everyday that I get to come to Quilt Country, work with so many incredible women and share my passion and love for quilting."
Congratulations to Connie Keller for receiving top honors at the APQS Rep Rally!! We are very proud of her and all that she has accomplished since she began representing APQS at Quilt Country.


Our new Quilt Country rulers by Creative Grid arrived this week. They are SO cute! The ruler is 2 1/2" X 6 1/2", the perfect size for carrying to retreats or classes and also just to have hear your machine for paper piecing or checking seam allowances or the size of that piece that just doesn't seam right. They sell for $6.25 and are the great quality of all of the rulers we love from Creative Grids.
The Dallas show is coming up, fast!!! The dates are March 13, 14, and 15. If you haven't ever been you should do your best to go. It is a great show and there are a lot of beautiful quilts of all types and also lots of vendors.
They also have a live mini auction on Saturday of the show every year. It is really great and the minis are so cute!! I made one this year, it is a bull's eye, 16" X 20".

This weekend we have two classes that I want to tell you about. On Saturday Joan will be teaching the Bella, Bella Bargello. A photo of her quilt is below. The photo doesn't do it justice!
Then on Sunday Debbie will be teaching the Strip-a-Rama class. This is a class, held once a month, designed to help you use those great fabrics in your stash. Below are photos of the design you will be learning this month.
