Sisters Quilt Show
Are you going to Sisters, OR for the 2010 Outdoor Quilt Show?  If you are, you're going to want to take your green Granary shopping bag!  Paula will be roaming the streets and if she sees you with the green bag you'll get a special treat.  Have a great time!
 
FlagHappy 4th of July to everyone!  We hope this holiday weekend allows you plenty of time to sew and think of new projects!  We're happy to help you if you're stumped about what project to start next!  We will be open Monday, July 5 from 10-6!  You might even want to join Jody from 5-9:30 for some uninterrupted sewing on the 5th!  Call the shop to sign up.  Bring whatever you're working on and Jody will be happy to help you.  There's even a rumor that she'll be working on the new Margo bag from Lazy Girl Designs.....a great way to learn how to make the bag without waiting for the class!
 
Whew.....Shop Hop is over for another year!  We had a great time and we hope that you did too!  Please visit the Shop Hop website for a list of Shop Hop winners.  Welcome to those of you who are new to this email update.  We try to keep you informed of upcoming classes, new fabric and books and sometimes there's a coupon at the end!
 
Our next big event will be Christmas in July on Saturday July 24.  We've been stashing away bolts and bolts of Christmas fabric.....some have even migrated to our homes since we've run out of storage room!  Our next email will have more details on what to expect.....could be some special discounts, prizes.....who knows!  Just mark the date because you won't want to miss being the first to see ALL the Christmas fabric!

Quilt Appraisal
Antique QuiltIn April 2010, Nancy Bavor became an American Quilter's Society Certified Appraiser of quilted textiles when she successfully passed both the written and verbal certification exams.  There are only 90 AQS certified quilt appraisers in the U.S. and Canada and Nancy is the only AQS certifed appraiser in Northern California. Congratulations, Nancy!
 
We are lucky enough to have Nancy back in the shop next Saturday, July 10 from 10:30am - 4pm for quilt appraisals!  Please call or stop by to make your appointment.  Appraisals are $45 per quilt - appointments are scheduled in 30 minute increments. The time slots are filling fast so if you're interested.....call now!
Los Altos History Museum Quilting Exhibit 
Los Altos History MuseumHere's a great event happening in our own backyard!  Visit the Los Altos History Musuem now through October 31, 2010 for a unique quilting exhibit.  Visit their website for more information!
Cinnamon Sticks
We've collected all the half square triangles and now we're busy sorting and trading with Tater Patch Quilts in Merrill, OR.  We'll let you know ASAP about when to expect to pick up your half square triangles.  Since there's some long distance trading going on the distribution may take a few weeks!  Be patient.....it'll be worth it!  (Please see our Events page for more information on the Cinnamon Stick program)
