This newsflash is dedicated to the memory of Bob Bonomo, husband of long-time Granary employee Angela Bonomo. Bob passed away peacefully after his 5-month battle with leukemia on Thursday, May 13, surrounded by his family. Bob will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Notes and cards for Angela can be dropped off at the shop; if you desire, the family has requested that donations be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Our thoughts and prayers are with Angela and her family. We look forward to Angela's return to the Granary in the next few weeks. We love you, Angela!

We (Paula & Jody) arrived in Minneapolis for Quilt Market on Sunday.  So far we've toured several quilt shops, visited with Clarinda (previous Granary store manager) and had fun with Robin & Diane (owners of Tater Patch Quilts).  Last night we Talk Town Dinerhad dinner at a diner - Talk Town Diner - that was featured on HGTV's Diner, Drive-ins & Dives.  It was as great as Guy said it would be!  Today it's more quilt shop hopping before checking in to our hotel in downtown Minneapolis and getting geared up for Quilt Market which starts tomorrow.  We will keep you updated on Facebook so if you're not a "Fan" of the Granary simply click the link to our pageFind us on Facebook

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 in April.  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 "Cinnamon Sticks" program has started! We are 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.
