Page 5 When Island Batik donated a whole bolt of fabric, we were wondering what we could do with it. So Carol suggested that we cut it up and ask our customers to make something out of it - hence our very 1st nniversary Challenge was born! Stop by either store and pick up your fat quarter and make anything you want! Return it to either store by May 15th for judging. Winners will be announced on May 30, the final day of our celebration. There will be one winner in each store. Winners will be determined by the number of votes they receive from our customers. Don t have time to make something? Be sure to cast Day and Night Classes vailable! Call either store for details! Students will be given a CD with the 3 workbooks in a PDF file to print or save to your favorite electronic device. You will complete one workbook each day in class. Fee includes a fabric sample packet each day to complete the three fully illustrated, in color, step by step workbooks!
