One Million Pillowcase Challenge 
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 68,000 as of this writing!) of pillowcases collected and links to free pillowcase patterns. We are excited to report that we have collected over 200 pillowcases so far!  Keep 'em coming!  We've made our first pillowcase donation to the adult oncology unit at UCSF.  Your pillowcases have helped make someone's day a little bit brighter!

Cinnamon Sticks 
June 4, 2010--is the Friendship Triangle reveal on your calendar?  We're so anxious to see the beautiful quilts, wall quilts & table toppers you've made with the thousands of half square triangles distributed this month.  If you didn't participate you're welcome to come and check it out.  After you see the gorgeous creations you'll want to participate in the next round!
 
Our next "Cinnamon Sticks" program starts TODAY! We will be using a beautiful selection of Civil War era fabrics AND we'll be exchanging some of the Friendship Triangles we receive from you with ones made by customers of our BFFQS (best friend forever quilt shop), Tater Patch Quilts in Merrill, OR! This should be fun!
 
What are "Cinnamon Sticks"?  .... A Cinnamon Stick is a mini-kit consisting of two pieces of 6 1/2" x 22" fabric rolled with one sheet of triangle paper used to make half-square triangle units.  Each Cinnamon Stick makes 28 half-square triangles (2" finished). The program will run through the end of June.  We will stop selling Cinnamon Sticks on June 12 to give you 2 weeks to complete what you have and get them turned in.
