Shimmering SightIt's time once again to congratulate Mary Kay Davis!!  Mary Kay's most recent award acquisition is 1st place in the Quilt Hawaii Pieced/Applique competition!  Congratulations!  

 

Mary Kay is not the only one who deserves recognition.....Sarah Osentowski has launched her new pattern company SarahRose Quilts !  She is currently offering 2 of her patterns in the shop; Lily's Ladybugs and Sash 'Em.  Both patterns have been wildly popular.  Check out her new website  and blog  for more details! 

 

We'd also like to congratulate our newest employee, Carol Dockery!  We've been stocking Carol's Quilter by Night  patterns in the shop for some time and many of you have had the opportunity to take a class or two of Carol's.  She's just found out that she has been accepted as a vendor at the International Quilt Market in Houston, TX this fall.  This wholesale show will give Carol the nationwide exposure she deserves!

Don't delay in signing up for the Jodi Barrows event (Square in a Square quilting) happening on Wednesday, July 27.  We're so excited for you to see Jodi's unique  Square in a Square techniques and tools. The Square in a Square system is a process that anyone can implement in most any design. Join us in the shop on July 27th from 1-4pm OR 6-9pm as Jodi shares her wonderful quilts and demonstrates how to achieve amazing results using her unique tools. Advance registration is required as space is limited.  Your $10 registration fee for this event is refundable towards your purchase of any of Jodi's products on the day of the event. 

 

A few short days after Jodi's visit we will be hosting Happy Hour on Friday, July 29 from 6:30-8pm.  Bright and early Saturday morning (July 30) Christmas in July will start at 10am and conclude at 6pm!  See below for more details!

 

Cotton ClubHave you seen the new Marcus Fabrics'

Cotton Club Block of the Month quilt?  Kits for this 12 month program will soon be available at The Granary.  Our next email will have all the details!

Christmas in July

 

Boxes of Christmas fabric have been arriving since late April and are being shuttled to various garages for storage until the big day.... On Saturday, July 30 at 10am we will be celebrating Christmas in July.  We'll be scurrying around on Friday the 29th after Happy Hour to get the shop ready for the big day!  We've got some new samples and kits ready for you, a few new books and patterns and of course, bolts and bolts of wonderful Christmas fabric!  Stop by between 10am-6pm and enjoy 20% off your Christmas fabric purchase!  (1/2 yard minimum cut off the bolt; kits will not be discounted)  You won't want to miss this day.....all the holiday fabric in one place at one time!

Angela's BOM

Fall BOMAngela is continuing with the next installment of her Block of the Month program.  Her adorable sample is pictured on the left.....it's even cuter in person!  There's still time to sign up for this program.  The Spring quilt was the first of the wall quilts and was completed in June.  Each season's wall quilt features a quaint house and tree which change with each season; other blocks of seasonal motifs are unique to each wall quilt.  You will learn various techniques in machine piecing and fusible machine appliqué-or hand appliqué if you prefer.  Let's do something different and make a seasonal wall hanging that you will get to use every time the seasons change. Members will receive a kit for that month's section of the 33" x 45" project. If monthly meetings don't work for you, you can pick up your kits at the shop or they can be mailed. Membership fee is $25 per month and is offered by automatic credit card billing only. The fee includes your monthly class, quilt pattern and fabric for each of the blocks. Improve your hand or machine appliqué skills with an expert!

 

Happy Hour

June Happy Hour QuiltTo the left is the stunning quilt Jody created using the Blue Hawaiian Bali Pop and Cozy Quilt's pattern "Spangled".  Although we are out of this Bali Pop, we have plenty of patterns in stock.  This was quick and easy and would make the perfect quilt for a dorm bed!

 

For July we're going to be using a Layer Cake featuring these beautiful soft, summer colors!   Stop by the shop or call to reserve your Layer Cake!  If you can't make it to Happy Hour we're happy to hold your fabric and pattern for you.  Our next Happy Hour is Friday, July 29  6:30-8pm.
