Arriving at Quilter's Affair
Students registered for at least one workshop can pick up their tote bag and name tag for Quilter’s Affair at the Stitchin’ Post from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm July 6th & 7th or at the High School from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm July 8th – 12th.
Most classes and events are held at Sisters High School: 1700 W McKinney Butte Rd, Sisters, OR 97759 excepting Suzie Zietner's classes which are held at her studio. Full day classes run from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm with a lunch break at 11:30. Half-day classes are held from 8:30 - 11:30 or 12:30 - 3:30. Susie Zietner's classes are held 9:00 - 1:00.

When you arrive, local students will be available to help you carry in your machines and supplies. They appreciate a tip but otherwise the service is free.
Some workshops require a specific book, pattern, or a lab fee for supplies. We have indicated these items in the class descriptions and supply lists. Lab/pattern fees are to be paid (in cash) to the instructor at class time.
Those registered for a workshop (event registration only does not receive a name tag) will receive a 10% discount at both the student and downtown Stitchin' Post stores the week of Quilter's Affair (July 7th - 11th, 2025). Discount is valid in-store only and some limitations apply. You must wear your nametag to receive the discount.

Registration
Online Registration opens for all workshops and events at 10:00 am PST, Wednesday, January 8th, 2025, on stitchinpost.com.
All registration is online only. No registrations will be taken via USPS mail, e-mail, paper (walk-in), or fax. All classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. Putting a class in your shopping cart does not guarantee you a seat - the seat is not yours until your order has been charged and processed.
All students must have a Stitchin’ Post customer account before completing checkout. You may create your account before registration to save time. If you already have an account, please make sure all the information, especially your email address, is correct. You may only purchase classes for yourself - friends must register separately.
Class information and supply lists are available to browse and plan your desired schedule starting in late December. Classes appear as “sold out” (don’t worry they aren’t) until online registration opens.
After registration opens, sold-out classes will have a waitlist. If a seat opens, the first person on the waitlist will be emailed. You will have 48 hours to respond, after that, the next person on the waitlist will be sent an email.
Shortly after your registration is processed and your credit card is charged, you will receive an email receipt. Check your junk mail folders if you don't receive a receipt within 30 minutes.
Any communication in reference to registration must be directed to Julie by email: Julie@stitchinpost.com
You can cancel Quilter’s Affair workshops and events until May 31, 2025, for a full refund. After May 31, there are no refunds or exchanges. Making any changes to a Stitchin' Post or Quilter's Affair class at any time after registration will incur a 10% change fee. Please review our policy page for full details.
Each workshop is coded by level of expertise: Beginner workshops are for people who have little or no experience with quilt making; Confident Beginner workshops require you to have rotary cutting and piecing experience; Intermediate workshops require you to be comfortable doing your own interpretation of patterns/designs; and Advanced workshops require you to be comfortable with all levels of designing and creating quilts.
