APQS Road Show Longarm Experience – Kamloops, BC, Canada
Right here at Heather's Fabric Shelf!!!
June 6 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm PDTThis is your chance to learn about our longarm quilting machines and discover the model that is right for you.
You can register by giving us a call the shop at 250-376-7630.
Also let us know by email info@fabricshelf.ca
What you’ll learn:Designed for quilters who do not currently own a longarm machine or current owners who are looking to upgrade, the 3 hour FREE seminar includes valuable information about owning your first longarm. - Discover resources for templates, batting, freehand instruction manuals, wholesale contacts, thread, etc.
- Find out where to buy pantograph patterns, books and stencils to make your longarm quilting fun and hassle-free.
- Learn business philosophies, products and services, pricing, marketing, and income forecasting. (You’ll even get a Sample Business Plan.)
- Explore the differences between each APQS machine model and adding computerized quilting to a new or previous APQS machine.
- Learn which accessories are the “gotta haves” to make your quilting fast and easy.
- Learn how to oil, clean and service your machine to provide years of quilting fun.
On the day of the Road Show, please plan to attend the full duration of the event. Most shows take about three hours, and throughout the course of the event we cover a lot of important information. This allows all attendees to have a shared understanding of the machines when it comes time for that all-important test drive.
Come and meet Mark and Christian from APQS and of course our very own quilter Bill will be in attendance. A bit of a swag bag, snacks to keep you fed and watered and lots of information!

Julie Biller

Julie Biller brought in her gorgeous Exploding Heart quilt for us to long arm for her. She pieced half square triangles until she thought she would turn into one! However look at the final result! Isn't this just amazing?
The quilt was longarmed by Leslie Ford with the edge to Edge design Dear Heart and top thread is Glide Amythest for a spectacular finish. Julie's quilt is all created from Kaffe Fassett fabrics in rich purples, blues and greens.
Thank you so much Julie for sharing

Sally Andrysiak

Sally Andrysiak brought her incredible Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt in to show us. This quilt has well over 3000 pieces to it! Good lord I can't even imagine the time and work involved in this one.
Sally worked with a planned palette of blues, oranges and creams.The border treatment is particularly interesting with the small blocks pulling everything from the center out. Truly a quilt to pass down in the family for years to come.
Thank you to Sally for showing us your quilt! You are amazing!

Marianne Funk

Marianne Funk brought her stunning Kaffe Fassett quilt in for us to longarm for her. Large vibrant florals set on point with the perfect teal blue sashing to create one amazing quilt.
Leslie Ford is the longarm quilter on this one using Edge to Edge design called Spring Petals with Glide thread Sea Mist for the top thread. What a gorgeous quilt!
Thank you to Marianne for sharing your talents with us all!

Lise McDevitt
| |
Lise McDevitt brought her amazing Stepping Stones quilt by Quiltworx in for us to long arm. She actually had it done a few weeks ago but wanted to get the binding on before we took photos.
The choice in red and black batiks created a super vibrant and dramatic quilt! Leslie Ford did the longarming using an Edge to Edge design called Asian Flow with Glide thread Imperial Red. How appropriate is that?
Thank you to Lise for sharing with everyone! Your quilt is amazing!

Donna Clements

Donna Clements brought her beautiful quilt in for us to longarm for her. I think one of the things that Donna excels at in quilting is that she really understands how to capture the ambience of the quilt through the colours and tones of the fabrics. The blend of oranges, teals and corals is spot on!
Leslie Ford is the longarmer on the quilt using Edge to edge design Butterflyte and Glide thread colour First Kiss. Not only has she created this beautiful top of the quilt but the back is just as amazing! Check it out below!
Thank you to Donna for sharing with all of us!

Audrey Bulk

Audrey Bulk brought her beautiful batik quilt in for us to long arm for her. Her quilt finished at 80" x 86" for a comfortable queen bed size. this quilt works very much like a medallion quilt with it working out from the center and then letting the borders really shine. Her choice in a black multi print batik with the green brightening everything us is amazing!
The quilt was longarmed by Leslie Ford using the edge to edge design called Rip Curl with Glide thread Avocado for the top.
Thank you to Audrey for sharing all your talents with us!

Patti Bradley
| |
Here we have Patti Bradley with two of her memory quilts she created for family members. Clearly the rodeo is a huge part of the recipients life and what an incredible gift to last for years to come!
Leslie Ford is the longarmer on the quilt with the first quilt using edge to edge design Bumpity and Glide thread Biscotti.
Beautiful work Patti and you are so going to be the popular Grandma!

Patti Bradley #2
| |
Here we have the second memory quilt that Patti Bradley created. A slightly different quilt pattern but the same theme going through.
Leslie Ford again is the longarmer with the edge to edge design Cumulus and Glide thread Biscotti for the finishing touch. I love the way the Cumulus quilting design mimics dust being kicked up by the horses. Or at least that is what I see.
Thank you to Patti again for inspiring us all to create those lasting memories!

Shirley Huculak

Shirley Huculak is a master at creating Tumbling Block quilts and did she ever nail it on this one. Shirley created the quilt for a grandson and I am pretty sure she too is going to be that Grandma!
Shirley came in to long arm the quilt herself with help from Bill. The edge to edge design they chose is Bumpity with Glide thread Apricot Blush for the top.
thank you to Shirley for sharing with everyone!
