Our third "Granary Getaway" concluded on Tuesday and was a rousing success!  "Campers" worked on 4 projects - even finishing a couple!  Watch our website and Facebook for pictures!  The  next 2 Granary Getaways will be held in August and October.  Stay tuned for specific dates. The 4-day event runs from Saturday - Tuesday, 10am-4pm.
 
We have over 10 people interested in attending the Ricky Tims Seminar in June so if you are one of the 10 who expressed an interest in registering with other Granary customers to take advantage of the group rate, we will be contacting you to request your registration form and check. We can send in registrations for an unlimited number of people, so call or email us if you too would like to take advantage of this opportunity."
Happy Hour (Strip Club) 
January Strip QuiltTo the left is our first Happy Hour quilt using fat quarters!  We decided to mix things up this year and alternate fat quarters and 2-1/2" strips.  We only have a couple of these fat quarter bundles for this quilt left in the shop so if you're interested stop by today!
 
 Below is the fabric collection for February -- a "Cappuccino" Bali Pop from Hoffman!  This month we're back to 2 1/2" strips.  Sign up today through the 15th for $38.  After the 15th the cost goes up to $48.  Our next Happy Hour will meet Friday February 26  2-3:30pm or 6:30-8pmFebruary Strips
Angela's Quilter's Garden BOM 
 
Quilter's GardenThere are a few spots left in Angela's Block of the Month class.  The first class will meet Saturday February 20 from 10am-12pm.  Meet with Angela on the 3rd Saturday of each month (through Dec) to create a different flower block each month using machine appliqué and some piecing. You will learn different methods of appliqué as well as piecing half-square triangles, and various embellishment techniques. Members will receive a kit for that month's section of the 85" x 93" quilt. If monthly meetings don't work for you, you can pick up your kits monthly or they can be mailed. Membership fee is $25 per month and is offered by automatic credit card billing only. The fee includes your monthly class, quilt pattern and fabric for the flower blocks. Improve your hand or machine appliqué skills with an expert!
Cinnamon Sticks
 
Cinnamon SticksWow!  The Cinnamon Stick program is off and running!  So far we've collected over 1600 half-square triangles! Participants are so excited to begin their projects that we have decided to end the sale of our current fabric grouping of Cinnamon Sticks (batiks) on Sunday, February 28 (instead of April 15)-we will collect completed half-square triangles through March 10. There's still plenty of time to pick up your batik "Sticks" and choose your project.
