GiantsTHE GIANTS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES!  As you can probably tell from that statement we're all pretty big fans!  At game time the music goes off and the game comes on!  Don't be alarmed if you hear a random shout-out or whoop! (hopefully you won't hear "oh no"!)  Luckily the games start in the evening - around 5!  Go Giants!

January '10 MonsterCan you believe it's time for Halloween?!  In celebration of this fun holiday the Halloween fabric is now 50% off (1/2 yard minimum cut) and the Christmas fabric will be 30% off through Sunday the 31st (1/2 yard minimum cut, kits not included).  Get started on those holiday gifts now! 

Our 5th Granary Getaway concluded on Tuesday.  The focus this time was on Quick Gifts and was a huge success.  Participants made a tote bag, Peek a Boo Bag, napkins, placemats, luggage tags, a table topper, bottle cover, tissue holders, chenille scarf.....  We kept everyone hopping!  We're planning our next Granary Getaway for early Spring.  Watch for more information in coming emails!

Starting Monday, October 25, the Alliance for American Quilts will begin their fundraising auction of "New from Old" quilts on Ebay. One of Mary Kay's is being auctioned off. Prices start at $50. The first auction runs from 10/25 - 11/1. There are also quilts from other famous quilters, Mary Stori, Mark Lipinski, etc.

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.
