Quilting Possibilities Events
Last year American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine challenged the quilting community to make and donate ONE MILLION pillowcases for charity. QP took on the challenge & has donated 1142 pillowcases in 2010 so far. These have been donated to locall children's cancer wards.
We're going to continue our quarterly Pillowcase Sew Ins during 2011. Come join us!
Can't sew? Come iron! We need volunteers to sew, iron & cut. Can't make it that day? - donate 100% cotton fabric, age appropriate for 2 to 17 year olds or a box of quart sized zippered baggies.
Our pillowcases will be donated to the Monmouth Medical Oncology unit & the Jersey Shore Children's Hospital. Please help all you can.
Coming in April!
RSVP if you can attend for all day or even part of the day! Thanks!

Workshop Policies
We strive to be fair to everyone. These policies are in effect for workshops with national teachers.
You may register for one workshop for each teacher on the first day of registration. If you wish to take both days, we will hold your credit card until the end of the first day of registration &, if there spaces left in the second day, we will register you & notify you.
You may register for workshops in person or by phone (609-242-0033) or fax (609-242-0080) with a credit card. If you mail a check, you will not be considered registered until we have the check, we can not hold your space until your check arrives. Registration for classes requires payment in full. For national teachers we have a no refund policy unless we can fill your space - then you will be issued a refund in the form of a store credit. If QPs cancels a workshop for any reason, you will be issued a full refund. Workshop supply lists will be available to pick up in the store or by mail one month before the workshop. Workshop fees include the workshop & lunch if stated - supplies are not included.
