For those of you that know and love our Second Saturday program, thank you for your patronage and participation!  We love your visits, your show-and-tell, and your smiles!  

 

Second Saturday has been a staple of Quilts Plus for years.  We were recently asked by one of our newer shoppers what Second Saturday was all about, and while we were happy to share with her additional details, we wondered just how many of you were missing some or all of the information about Second Saturday!  So, here goes...  all the details for 2024!

 

During the first month of the program (APRIL 2024), purchase a block kit (price TBD right now, but usually $7-$9).  Assemble the block (the pattern is included in the kit) and bring it to show the following month to get the next block kit for free!  At the end of the program, you'll have enough completed blocks to assemble a small quilt.  Of course, you can add borders and additional blocks to increase the size of the quilt if you choose to do so, but this is great motivation to get a small quilt completed for minimal cost!  

 

Now, some of the fun comes when you purchase more than one kit - this year we have two series to choose from – Sunny Garden and Dark of Night.  Though you can only get one free kit per month, some quilters choose to make more than one quilt series.  Another fun adjustment to the basic plan is making additional blocks each month that coordinate with the series of your choice.  This will help to make sure you have a larger quilt when the program is complete. 

 

Each Second Saturday, when you bring in the previous month’s completed block, you'll be given your free block and a raffle ticket.  For any 'extra' blocks you bring in, you get an additional raffle ticket!  At the end of each Second Saturday session, we draw for fun prizes!  And, while you're here we have a great show-and-tell, so you get to see new shop samples and kits, as well as completed quilts from your quilting friends!

 

We have 2 sessions every 2nd Saturday of each month - one that starts at 9am and one that starts at 10:30am.  Space is limited in the shop, so please keep that in mind when you choose your time.  

​

Reminder: There may be a time when you forget your completed block, don't get it finished or have to miss a Saturday session.  Just come to the shop anytime during that month to purchase the next kit and get back on track.  Also, blocks will not be available before the month's meeting, and friends cannot pick up free blocks for you.  

​

We look forward to seeing you there!  We can't wait!
