It's AUGUST!!  Where has the summer gone?!  If it's August it must be time for the Granary Getaway!  Join Paula, Mary Kay & Jody August 28-31 for 4 fun filled sewing days.  Paula will be showing you how to "twist and turn" and sharing clues for a new mystery quilt, Mary Kay has created a new pattern just for you and Jody will guide you through the Hunter's Star - the easy way!  We may have a few surprises for you this time as well!  Sign up today....there are a few spots left but if you wait too long you may be disappointed!  Visit our Classes page and scroll down to the Granary Getaway description for more details. 
 
August also means it's time for a new Granary Newsletter!  We're hard at work getting the class schedule finalized....it should be on the website no later than August 20 (maybe even earlier!)  We're sure you'll be inspired by the variety of classes (and instructors - there will be some new faces!).  If there is a class you've been looking for, just let us know - we are always open to suggestions.
 
You will want to stop by the shop soon so that you don't miss the TWO trunk shows we have on display this month!  We have quilts from Heather Mulder Peterson (Anka's Treasures) featuring her "At Home for the Holidays" fabric from Henry Glass. 
 
Simple StyleWe also have many of the quilts from Sara Diepersloot's new book, Simple Style - Easy Weekend Quilts.  As an added treat, Sara has agreed to teach several new classes at the Granary!  On Saturday, August 21 from 1-5pm Sara will lead you through the steps to make your own "Cherry Blossoms" quilt (see picture in "Upcoming Classes" section. This class will also be available on Wednesday, September 16 from 10:30am-2:30pm.  You select your own large scale print - the Granary has many to offer!

Christmas in July 
 
12 DaysChristmas in July (July 24) was a great success!  It was so much fun that we're going to make it an annual event!  We'll be sure to tell you the date well in advance for next year so you can plan your vacations around the big Christmas fabric reveal!
 
Have you been in to see the great collection of holiday fabric?!  If not you really should stop by soon.  We've already sold out of several bolts of fabric and unfortunately it's not reorderable.  Plan those holiday projects now and stop by for the best selection!
