We are gearing up for the 3rd of July SALE, this coming Saturday from 8am-1pm. The details are below and there will be more to come. Don’t miss the fun and bargains. Saturday should be a great day to travel on Cape early! Most people will already be here for the weekend.
You keep asking about Summer Classes. Both Mary and Mutt who usually teach more than I do are not able to offer much this summer. Mary will be doing a class or two but she is off today so the posting will be later this week.
I have decided to start a new Quilter’s Academy, Freshman year. This course is 30 hours and since I want you complete it this summer, it will be in 6 hour segments instead of 3 hours per class. If you are already enrolled and want to continue in the 6 hour offering, you may. If you want to start but can’t do the 6 hours at one time, you should sign up for the first 6 hour class (which is lessons 1-2), and then continue with the 3 hour classes. This workshop is flexible, but as always, required to be taken in the order of the book. That is lesson 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. IN ORDER! You will pay as you go. The 6 hour classes are $30 each session, and the 3 hour classes are $15.
The 6 hour classes are on Thursdays, 10am-4pm as follows:
Thurs, July 8 classes #1 and #2
Thurs, July 15, classes #3 and #4
Thurs, July 29, classes #5 and #6
Thurs, Aug 5, classes #7 and #8
Thurs, Aug 19, classes #9 and #10
You must have your own sewing machine for this workshop and know basically how to use it. This is a learning experience in quilting; it is not a sewing machine course! You must have Harriet Hargrave’s book Quilter’s Academy: Freshman Year. The Course is designed for rank beginners and also experienced quilters. You will be glad you signed up.
In addition, I am teaching a few short classes and lectures/demos to spice up your summer. Additional summer classes will be posted next week.
Take some time out of your day to breathe and enjoy this fabulous weather and the people in your life. See you soon.

I had a great three days off last week visiting the newest member of the Weinman family and her brothers. Sophia, named after my mother, Sylvia, is absolutely gorgeous (of course), and brothers Kyle and Lucas are equally as fantastic. My nephew, Steve, and his wife, Mille, make me very proud. Of course, quilts have been made for Sophia, Kyle, and Lucas!
The estate sale went well at my home this past weekend. Naturally, there are many pieces of quality artwork, furniture, quilts, and figurines still to be sold. There will be another sale in the next few weeks and I will keep you informed of the details here on the BLAST.

All About the 19th year for Heartbeat Quilts’ Quilt Camp October 21-24, 2010
Finally, I have worked out the details for October 2010 Quilt Camp at The Red Jacket Beach Resort in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, here on beautiful Cape Cod. This wonderful hotel in on the ocean with a spacious sewing room and unbelievable views. The food is fresh and plentiful. Located only a few miles from Heartbeat, we have had several camps in this location and love it there (can you tell). Here’s the link to The Red Jacket Beach Resort.
At this fall’s camp I will be offering Harriet Hargrave’s Quilter’s Academy, Freshman Year, at no additional cost to campers. My plan is to teach the course three hours a day, starting Thursday, October 14 at 10am and continuing through Monday, October 18 (9am-Noon). The course needs 15 hours to give you the essence of Freshman Year (it will be condensed because it takes 21 hours of classroom to complete the full course).
This course is designed for in depth exploration of quilting for experienced or wannabe quilters. Whether you have been quilting for 100 years or you’ve never quilted before, it’s for you. The instruction is for machine, not hand sewing. The Thursday Class #1 will be held at Heartbeat Quilts in Hyannis. Class #1 does not require a sewing machine, just Harriet’s book and something for you to take notes on, or a highlighter to use your book as a workbook. There is no additional fee for this opportunity.
There are a few requirements:
• You must have a copy of Harriet’s book Quilter’s Academy, Freshman Year
• You must take the course in order of days offered. #1 is on Thursday and if you can’t take the class Thursday, you are not eligible to continue taking this course throughout the weekend (sorry, this is very important)
• You are not obligated to take the course at all and Camp will be just as it always has been with sewing all day and night, demos and fun and food and other opportunities
• In order to participate in the Quilter’s Academy, Freshman Year, you must stay at the hotel for a minimum of four nights. I have made special arrangements to keep prices down. The minimum overnight stays at the hotel would be (Wed/Thu/Fri/Sat or Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun). Of course you can stay for five nights. The course is free for Campers only, and is taught by me (Helen Weinman)
I have negotiated special rates for the extra nights. All prices include two lunches (Sat/Sun) and two dinners (Fri/Sat), gratitude, and taxes. For campers staying Sunday night at the hotel we will also have a special dinner at Heartbeat Quilts as a social event (no additional charge). 2010 Camp prices are:
• 2 nights: Friday/Saturday night (sewing Friday 4pm through Sunday 4pm) $559/pp double
• 3 nights: Thurs/Fri/Sat nights (sewing Thurs 1pm through Sunday 4pm) $729/pp double
• 4 nights: Thurs/Fri/Sat and EITHER Wed OR Sun (sewing Thurs 1pm through Sun 4pm and Quilter’s Academy, Freshman Year, and Class #1 on Thursday 9am-Noon) $799/pp double
• 5 nights: Thurs/Fri/Sat and both Wed and Sun nights (sewing Thurs 1pm through Sun 4pm and Quilter’s Academy, Freshman Year, and Class #1 on Thursday 9am-Noon and Class #5 on Monday) $849/pp double
Make your reservations now. A $100 deposit is required with your reservation, with the balance due by August 10, 2010. Pricing is available for single and triple occupancy. If you want to bring a non-sewer we can also price that for you. If you don’t have a roommate, maybe we can help you out! Sorry, no one under the age of 16 allowed. Please email or call with any questions you might have. ASK, ASK, ASK!
