Mini Quilt Retreat: August 14- 15
 
Barb Kobe Mini Quilt
This Friday evening and all-day Saturday AFFIRMATION EMBELLISHED MINI QUILT RETREAT and CLASS is designed for those of you who enjoy fibers and fabrics and who are interested in learning some new techniques for surface design. 

Instructor Barb Kobe is especially adept at adding little bits of this and that with special embroidery stitches and/or machine applique to create unique surfaces for dolls, quilts, cards and fiber art installations

ACTION WORDS

Summer is a time for vacations, relaxing, attending reunions, catching up on outdoor projects and just laying out in a hammock to catch up on a good book.   

It's also a time to refresh your energies in order to  have the reserve needed to tackle new goals that often come along with fall and winter days. 
 
Thanks to the lyrical artwork of Dawn-Marie Quinche we now have a mini "retreat moment" and "energy refresher" at Maureen's in Jordan.  

Next time you come for a visit we invite you to stand in the center of the store and read aloud the  painted words which encircle the room. 
 
 Then breathe. 
 
It works for Maureen and maybe it will be a refresher for you as well.

AUGUST FANTASY WEEK AT MAUREEN'S
Class mc25 
What would you make if you had a whole week to create without interruption?  Well, maybe a FEW interruptions, for a story or two, and perhaps a short field trip to the local farmer's market, or maybe to a nearby artist studio ... but basically the week would be yours to bring your creative visions into reality.  And, as your personal guide into this world of creativity, you'd be accompanied by Maureen with her expertise in how to build clay and mixed media characters and environments.  
 
Maureen's logoCurrently there are two students registered for this class, which is enough to make it happen, but there's room for you, as well.  Class size is limited to 7.
 
You can also choose to come for just the first part of the week if you have just a few days available.  Call Maureen at 952-402-3260 to discuss options.
 
We look forward to seeing you ...
