Happy Anniversary to
 The Granary!
Hard to believe I've had the store for 10 years!
 
 
Congratulations to our own Mary Kay Davis for advancing to the next round of McCall's Quilt Design Star Challenge!
  Not only did she advance but she came in FIRST!  Click on the image to the left for more information about the challenge and Mary Kay!  We're sure proud of her!
 
If you've stopped by the shop lately you've noticed a lot of rearranging going on!  We're making room for a new addition to the Granary - a BIG quilting machine!  That's right...a Gammill Statler Stitcher will be moving in!  Paula & Jody have alread started the training, and we should be able to offer quilting services in the next few months.  We have one problem - we don't know what to name her so we're asking for your help.  Stop by the shop and submit a name into our collection box (or email us and we'll put it in for you).  If we choose the name you submitted you will receive a $25 Granary Gift Certificate!  We'll be taking suggestions through October 31!
 
The Halloween fabric is fanishing quickly!  Hurry in and receive 30% off before it's all gone! (1/2 yard minimum cut    kits not included)
 
PIQF starts on Thursday and contines through Sunday the 17th.  Go to the show's website for more details.  You'll want to pick up a PIQF flyer at the show and check out our ad!

Susan's Block of the Month
 
A Bloomin DozenSusan's new Block of the Month has begun!  We're using the pattern "A Bloomin' Dozen" by Bloomin' Minds which features thirteen 12" blocks to be used for small quilts or pillows. Here's how it works-you purchase your pattern which contains all 13 blocks, and on the first of each month we'll reveal our shop sample and have a kit with just enough fabric for that month's block ready for you to pick up (kit fee: $9.95/month). The program began October 1,  but you can sign up any time before January 1 in order to receive the prior months' kits. If you keep up with the program and make just one simple, small block each month, you will have 13 adorable, themed blocks completed. Your blocks can hang as individual small wall quilts, you could make cute little seasonal pillows or you could assemble all the blocks together with sashing and borders for a "Happy Anytime" wall quilt! Stop by or call today to sign up!

Mystery Step of the Month
 
Mystery Step of the MonthThere's still plenty of time to participate in the Mystery Step of the Month!  We're only on step 2 of 6 so we've hardly begun!  We'll help you choose 4 contrasting fabrics to get you started and then the pattern is free!  You'll be amazed at the quilt you will have created at the end of the 6 months!  Visit the "Events" page of our website for a slide show from our 4th reveal party in September.
