We're back from Quilt Market in Houston with lots of great ideas!  As soon as we have things a little more organized will start sharing the fun "stuff" we found!
 
PIQF has arrived!  The Pacific International Quilt Festival,  held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, runs from Thursday October 15 - Sunday October 18th.  Although Salewe will not be participating with a booth we look forward to seeing you on Thursday & Friday - till 9pm with 20% off storewide from 6-9pm on both nights.  Visit us after you tour PIQF for snacks, beverages and a sale!!

Finish up those Halloween projects and enjoy 30% off all Halloween fabric.  Hurry in as the selection of Halloween fabric is disappearing quickly! (1/2 yard minimum cut off the bolt)
  
Just in case you missed it in the last email we have made a few changes to our class schedule.  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! 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!
 
Holiday Community Service Project
 
StockingsOur Holiday Community Service Project has begun.  Once again this year we will be supporting Sunnyvale Community Services. For more than a dozen years, SCS has provided a "Christmas Store" where its clients are afforded the dignity of selecting a two-week supply of food, new gifts for infants through teens, and a household gift (towels, blankets, basic kitchen items). Last year, over 1,100 families were served! Imagine the quantities involved for gifts and a two-week supply of groceries for that many families! The SCS website has a complete list of items that are most needed!
 
All you have to do is bring your items to the Granary anytime during October or November-we will take care of delivering them to SCS!  When you bring your donations to the Granary, you will receive a raffle ticket for each item you donate. In January, we will raffle a gift basket including a Granary gift certificate and other great quilting supplies, including books, patterns, fabric, notions and more! The SCS Christmas Store opens to its clients in early December so shop early, take advantage of those sales and bring your donations to the shop before the end of November.
Strip Club
 
Thursday October 15 is the last day to sign up for Strip Club at $38!  You won't want to miss out on the "Cotton Candy" Bali Pop that we're featuring this month.  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 for your background fabric we will be happy to 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 2It's not too late to sign up for the Mystery Step of the Month!  There are only 3 fabrics involved this time, and we're sure you'll love the quilt pattern. We're always happy to help with your fabric choices.  Steps 1 and 2 are now available in the shop.  Remember, there's no fee or set times to meet!  Simply purchase all your fabric and the pattern is free!

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! Be sure to check out photos from the last mystery on our website.
