We usually don't send out so many emails one right after the other but there's so much going on in the shop we just HAD to let you know!  There are new classes, a pillowcase opportunity (see below), lots of new fabric has arrived and new Happy Hour fabrics are revealed!  Also, the Easter Bunny left a coupon for you at the end of this email!
 
4FQ Lunch BucketWe've added 2 new classes to our schedule!
 
Carol Dockery will be joining us on April 21 from 10:30am-2:30pm to teach her 4 Fat Quarter Lunch Bucket.  Her samples have attracted lots attention in the shop and we've had many requests for a class!  We will be scheduling classes for more of Carol's creations - dates and times will be in our next newsletter due out mid-April.
 
Eleanor Burns T-Shirt QuiltLooking for a great graduation gift and a way to clean out those over flowing t-shirt drawers!  Jody has added a T-Shirt Quilt class!  Gather 12 (or more) t-shirts and join her on Saturday April 24 from 10-3.  The sample will be in the shop in the next few days.  We will be using the Eleanor Burns' pattern as our guide.
 
ArrowIf you participated in the Cinnamon Sticks program, don't forget to pick up your half square triangles!  We can't wait to see your completed quilts on Friday June 4th at our Cinnamon Sticks reveal party!
One Million Pillowcase Challenge
 
We are participating in the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. Make a pillowcase, made a difference. Join quilters from around the nation today by making a pillowcase and odonating it to charity. Click here to learn more.
As you know, the Granary is participating in American Patchwork & Quilting's One Million Pillowcase Challenge!  We're excited to be a part of this great program that will continue throughout 2010.  Check out their website for the current count (over 44,000 as of this writing!) of pillowcases collected and links to free pillowcase patterns.  The Granary will be listed as a participating shop any day now! 
 
PillowcaseJoin Jody on Monday April 5 at her Quilt Mania Monday class and make a pillowcase.  With the class fee of $15 you will receive a pillowcase kit, Mary Kay's great pillowcase pattern and plenty of instruction.  Class starts at 5:00 and we sew till 9:30.  If you can't make it at 5 it's no problem....come when you can!  After you've made your pillowcase (which takes no more than 1 hour) you'll have plenty of time to work on your current project or get help on something that has been stuffed in your closet out of frustration!
