We have a couple of class schedule changes to alert you to!  Angela has added a Yo-Yo Finish It class on October 24 from 1-4.  If you have attended a previous Yo-yo class and have unfinished projects, this is the class for you!  Sign up today as space is limited.
 
Also, the Let's Make Christmas Yo-Yo's and the Bali Sea Star classes in November have swapped nights!  The Let's Make Christmas Yo-Yo's will now be on Friday November 6 from 6-9:30 and the Bali Sea Star Class will be held on Friday November 20 from 6:30-9:30.   Thank you to those who were already signed up and switched!
   
Quilt appraisor, Nancy Bavor, will be returning to the Granary on Saturday October 10.  She will take her first appointment at 10:30am and her last at 5pm.  Appraisals are 30 minutes and $40 per quilt.  Call today as the slots tend to fill quickly!
 
PIQF is almost here!  It's coming so fast that we don't want you to miss it!  PIQF is held at the Santa Clara Convention Center October 15-18.  See their website for more details.  Although we will not be participating with a booth we will be open later on Thursday & Friday - till 9pm with 20% off storewide from 6-9pm on both nights.  Visit us after you tour PIQF!!
 
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, why not check out the "Taste of Morgan Hill".  The South Valley Quilt Association's Harvest Quilt & Fiber Arts Show is going on at the same time in the same area so there's plenty to keep everyone busy while you're admiring the quilts!
 
Don't forget that we will be open on Sunday, September 27 from 10am-4pm!
Strip Club (it's back!)
 
September Strip QuiltLook at what you missed out on last night!  To the left is the fun quilt created using the September strip collection.  We do have a few strip sets left (and patterns) but hurry in before they're gone!
 
Below is the our strip selection for October!  We've decided to use the Cotton Candy Bali Pop collection from Hoffman.  We have a limited number of these strip sets so this month it's especially important to sign up early!  Our next Strip Club meeting will be October 30 from 2-3:30pm OR 6:30-8pmCotton Candy Bali Pop.
 
New perk offered!  If the pattern calls for 2 1/2" strips cut from your background fabric we will cut them for you!  Come to the Strip Club meeting, select your background and leave it with us to cut your background strips for you!  You'll be able to pick them up in a few days and then you're on your way to piecing!
 
If you're new to "Strip Club" be sure to see our website for all the details! Join us for our own version of "Happy Hour" whichever months you choose for $48. Better yet, when you pre-register for a strip club night (before the 15th of the month prior to the meeting), you will receive a special price of just $38 for your bundle. This allows us enough time to assemble an appropriate number of bundles for the upcoming meeting. Beverages and appetizers will be served! You won't want to miss the fun!
Mystery Step of the Month
Mystery 2On September 18 we held our second Mystery Step of the Month reveal!  The quilts were absolutely beautiful!  To the left is Jody's creation.  Check our snippits of all the stunning quilts on the Events page of our website. 
 
Our next Mystery Step of the Month has started!  Step 1 is available now and each subsequent step will be available on the 1st of the month.  Participating in a "step of the month" program is a great way to construct a quilt you may look at and decide you're not "talented" enough to make!  With a step of the month program you're breaking it down into manageable pieces and everyone in the program is always amazed at what they've created!  Try it!  We're confident you'll love the process! 
 
The next mystery involves picking only 3 fabrics - a dark (focal fabric), a contrast and a light.  We're happy to help with your choices!  Remember, there's no fee or set times to meet!  Simply purchase all your fabric and the pattern is free!

Happy Halloween Block of the Month! 
September MonsterThe Happy Halloween Block of the Month is "frightfully" successful!  If you haven't heard of this new program please visit the Events page of our website for the complete description!  We also post the pictures of all the available "monsters"!
 
To the left is the September "monster".  Next week, on October 1 the October "monster" kit will be available!  If you are already signed up, a kit will be available for you to pick up.  If your kit is not picked up by the end of the that month, it will be returned to inventory for sale. So if you know you won't be able to get in sometime during the month to pick up your kit, just give us a call, and we'll be happy to hold it for you beyond the month end.  You are also welcome to prepay for all months (except for the finishing kit) and rest assured that it will always be there for you!
