| Susan's New Block of the Month! |
 If you enjoyed any of our previous "of-the-month" projects (potholder of the month, table topper of the month, Bee Industrious of the month), our new program could very well be your favorite! With Halloween being such a popular holiday among quilters, Susan has chosen Amy Bradley's adorable "Happy Halloween" pattern for her next project. (pictured left) Here's how it works-you purchase your pattern for the whole series of monster faces, and on the first of each month we'll have a kit with just enough fabric for that month's block ready for you to pick up. Kits run $9.95. The program began August 1, but you can sign up anytime before October 31. If you keep up with the program and make just one block each month, you will have a wonderful Halloween quilt ready to hang before Halloween 2010. A finishing kit will be available and will include sashing, fabric for the "Happy Halloween" banner and borders. Stop by or call today to sign up! |

| Mystery Step of the Month |
| The date has been set for the Mystery Quilt reveal! We will meet on Friday, September 18 at 6pm (note time change from 6:30!) for the unveiling of the mystery quilts! This will be an informal gathering where we can "ooooh" and "aaww" at everyone's quilt! Those that bring their finished quilt top to the party will be offered a 20% discount on the backing fabric. The party is free and open to all those involved in the Mystery Step of the Month and those that are interested in seeing what it's all about. We will be introducing our next mystery at this party so don't be left behind! Discounts will be offered to those purchasing their fabric for the new mystery!
Please stop by the shop or call to let us know you're coming so that we have enough refreshments for everyone! |
| Strip Club |
|
We've decided to give you the months of July & August off from Strip Club! More than a few people have told us that they've fallen behind on their Strip Club quilts so we'd like to give you an opportunity to sew and catch up! We've even set aside our regular Strip Club meeting times so that you can work on your past Strip Club projects! You must have been a prior Strip Club member and you need to sign up in advance but it's free! We will be sewing on Friday August 28 from 2-5pm or 6:30-9:30pm. Space is limited so call today to reserve your spot!
September 1 we will reveal the strip set for the month and our meetings will resume on Friday September 25. We hope you enjoy this little respite! |
