Did you know that Louise taught math for many years and loves numbers? In celebration of the day and the month (both 5s!, get $2x5 ($10) off a studio session between May 5 and 25. Plus, if you come in on a day that is a multiple of 5, get an extra $5 off, for a total of $3x5 ($15).
This offer can be combined with the Flower Power deal.
Since we’re closed on the 15th, we will offer the extra $5 on the 16th instead.
Heather S quilted this beauty on the Vision. The pattern is her own creation. Would you believe this is her first attempt at free hand and custom quilting?
Quilter Sharon P created this yummy fruit salad quilt out of scraps of reds, oranges, and yellows. She quilted it on the Statler using an all-over meander pattern.
Quilter Pam P. used the Statler’s Squares and Swirls pattern on this beautiful mix of blues, browns, and greens. The swirls soften the angularity of the blocks and provide interest in the large, single-fabric squares. A lovely outcome!
April showers bring May flowers. What do May flowers bring? $10 off if your quilt contains flowers or if you choose a flower pattern. Applies to both studio reservation blocks and quilt drop-offs. Valid May 1-31.
Birthday Contest: Email us your first and last name and the day and month of your birthday to be entered in the contest. We will choose five random days, and the person with the closest birthday to each selected day will get to select an Anne Bright pattern for the Statler. We will also be periodically offering other birthday-related specials, so make sure to reply today! Contest entries close May 15.
Are they asking you what you want for Mother’s Day (or Father’s Day)? Can they never decide what to get you for your birthday? Now you have an answer–a gift card for Burlington Electric Quilters! Cards can be purchased in any amount and used for any service. It’s never too early to start dropping hints!
Laurena’s Longarm Quilting is opening under new management on April 4, 2017. You’ll still enjoy the same longarm machines and the same cozy studio, but with a new person helping you accomplish your quilting dreams – Louise Rains.
Our new name is Burlington Electric Quilters – a name that should give a large spark to your creativity! We’re still at the same location, same phone number, and website.
As your new manager, I’m so excited to welcome you and to continue with the fun and joy that quilting brings to us all. I have been a longtime renter, and look forward to meeting you all and assisting you with your beautiful projects. Just a bit about myself – I was born in Salt Lake City, UT, and moved to Billerica, MA, in 2002. I have a husband who supports my stash without too much complaint, a little dog named Stormy, and a bicycle or two that I love to ride. My all-time favorite quilting pattern is Popcorn! I have been working in Boston for the past 8 years, but won’t miss that morning commute, especially when the weather is cold and blustery.
For the month of April, all appointments for quilting time receive 15% off our new rates, which are:
* Mini (3 hrs) $75
* Half day (4 hrs) $100
* Full day (max 8 hrs) $175
Also, if we quilt your project, you will receive 15% off on your batting purchase.
We’re also introducing some evening hours:
* Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM
* Thursday 12 Noon to 8 PM
Studio time is by appointment only, so email or call to schedule your time.

An opportunity has arisen and I am moving on to a new job. I’ve made this difficult decision after significant consideration and I would like to share with you what will happen at Laurena’s Longarm Quilting in the next couple of months.
I am offering the business for sale until February 17, 2017. Please telephone me at (781) 229-0734 if you are interesting in acquiring a flourishing business with a growing clientele of loyal, talented quilters.
Barring a sale, March 18, 2017 will be Laurena’s Longarm Quilting’s last day of business.
I will work with subscribers individually to use or refund your prepaid hours.
Future classes are cancelled. If you signed up for classes in January, February or March and have already prepaid, I will refund your class fees.
I will accept a limited number of quilts for edge to edge quilting in February. All quilts must be picked up by March 18.
LLQ will be open by appointment only, Wednesdays through Saturdays.
Laurena’s Longarm Quilting grew from one machine to a multi machine rental and quilting business. The thriving community of machine quilters in the New England area have been the cornerstone of this growth. I’m grateful for the support you’ve given me over the years.
Wish me well in my future endeavors!
We will be closing for the Thanksgiving holiday at 2pm Wednesday November 23rd and reopening at 9am on Tuesday November 29th.
We hope you enjoy the holiday with family and friends. Be sure to have a quilt handy for the nap that inevitability follows that big turkey dinner!

Do you long for your own longarm quilting machine?
I have a used Gammill Vision 1 machine in my fleet for sale!
This sturdy, trusty machine lead demonstrations and quilted many a quilt. You may have seen it in action at a benefit quilt or demo day.
The 18-8 system gives you a color LCD touch screen, choice of stitch regulation or manual mode and an on board bobbin winder. The adjustable laser light is the same as you may have used on the studio’s rental machines.
With an 18″ longarm and a 12″ table, this Vision 1 is perfect for the home free motion quilter. On the tabletop, you can lay out a paper pantograph up to 10″ high and have a comfortable 13″ of free motion space if working from the front of the machine. Swiveled castors on the stand legs lock, but still allow for manageable movement when needed. The Breeze Track System makes for smooth quilting! The leaders have zippered edges.
Are you the lucky quilter who might find this longarm in his/her studio? The price is $7,000.
Its Vision 1 system can be upgraded to a Gammill Vision 2 system. (Gammill charges $1,000 for this type Vision 2 upgrade).
This is a great opportunity to have a sturdy, high quality machine at a great price. Call Laurena at (781) 229- 0734 to make an arrangement to view this Vision 1 machine before it’s gone!
