Got Programs?

The Quilter’s Gallery was a full service quilt shop in Charlotte, NC for over 25 years. We closed our shop in 2006 and now we are on the road doing quilt shows, guild programs and workshops.  We have gotten the nickname, “The Pizza Girls”, because of our fabric packaging. Our specialty is making kits, coordinating fabrics for maximum impact for each project, and packaging then to look like pizzas.

We love to do programs for quilting guilds. Our most popular program is our “Show and Tell”.  We bring our current selection of quilts and quilt tops, usually about 50 or more for your pleasure.  Some are samples of current patterns and and some are our original designs.  As we go through the quilts, we discuss color, creative fabric use and simple border treatments along with lots of tips and tricks that we have learned in the past 25+ years.  Everyone needs new ideas. We hope that our show will inspire you to start a new project or two.  We also bring our fabric collections, patterns, rulers, and kits to sell after the “show and tell’.  It’s like having a quilt shop set up at your meeting.

Another program we offer, when we do a return visit to your guild is “Rulermania“.  For this program, in addition to showing our newest quilt samples, we cover speed piecing techniques along with demos of the newest specialty rulers and plexiglass templates. So often we hold on to old methods when there are newer, faster techniques that improve accuracy and save time.  Many of us collect rulers and this is a perfect opportunity to see how to use them.  Rulers and books would be available for purchase.

We charge a $50.00 fee for the guild program plus mileage.  Mileage is charged at IRS rate, roundtrip.  We try to make the trip a “same day” trip if possible, even if it means getting up reallllly early, or getting home a little late.  However, depending on the distance traveled and the time of your meeting, (consideration is given to anything over 4 hours total) we may require  additional fees to cover travel time and meals on the road as well as overnight lodging.

If you are interested in a program, give us a call at 704-864-4894 and we will add you to our calendar.
