Please note...we will be closing at 6pm on Thursday November 10th.

It's a good thing we got an extra hour of sleep on Sunday...more time for quilting! The holidays are just aroung the corner and we've got some great classes coming up that will help you with your gift giving needs! How about a set of placemats, an e-reader case, cosmetic bags or a chenille scarf! Check out our Classes page for more ideas.

Rest up for our annual Early Bird sale happening on Saturday November 19 starting at 6am!

Sale limited to stock on hand. Half-yard minimum cut required on fabric cut from bolts. All items in our "Hold" basket will be returned to inventory on Friday afternoon prior to the Early Bird Sale. Sale excludes all quilt kits.

Another annual event, our Sample Sale, will begin the day after Thanksgiving, November 25 and continue through the end of the year. For those of you who have asked whether we ever sell our shop samples, the answer is "Yes!" and here is your opportunity to purchase something special. Once a year, The Granary's staff offers some of their meticulously handmade samples for sale just in time for the Holidays. The selection will change weekly as new samples become available. No credit cards will be accepted for the purchase of samples; cash is preferred.

The birthday cake is the 13th and last bl Count On It ock in the Bloomin' Dozen Block of the Month series! If you participated in this program your kit awaits you! Our next monthly series will begin in December (yes...we did say November in our last email!) Sarah will be taking over for Susan in creating the fun calendar themed BOM. She will be using the book Count On It by Nancy Halvorsen as her "pattern". Sarah is hard at work creating your first month's sample. Details will be forthcoming!

Longarm Quilting Services

"Sewfie" celebrated her 1st birthday last month! Our Gammill Statler Stitcher has been given quite a workout in the last year quilting well over 200 quilts for staff and customers. We'd like to remind you that the holidays are approaching at a speed that is hard to comprehend! If you are thinking that you would like a quilt quilted to give as a gift you'd best start planning! In order to guarantee that your quilt will be ready by December 15 (to give you time for binding, etc.) we are asking that you bring it to us no later than November 23 (the day before Thanksgiving). Please call in advance for an appointment with either Paula or Jody. One or both are there almost every day so you're sure to find a time that works for you. If you'd like more information about our quilting services, click here.

Happy Hour

October Happy Hour Quilt

To the left is the festive quilt Paula created using October's fat quarter collection and the pattern Forest Reflection from Cozy Quilt. There are plenty of patterns in the shop for you to create your own forest reflection!

Below is the fabric collection Jody will use in the quilt for November. This month you will receive a packet of 10" squares better known as a "Layer Cake". Stop by the shop or call to reserve your set! 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, November 25 6:30-8pm.

November Happy Hour Layer Cake Fabrics

Cotton Club Block of the Month

It's not too late to sign up for the Cotton Club BOM program featuring patterns and fabrics designed by Bonnie Blue Quilts! The fabric collection was created around an antique border print from the mid 1800's, along with antique coordinates in varying shades of red and brown. The 78" x 85" quilt contains 45 sampler style 5" blocks set in vertical pieced columns. We call this a "blocks" of the month program because you will receive patterns for 4 or 5 blocks each month. The blocks are designed and grouped together utilizing a specific technique or similarity in block design, progressing from the easiest to the more challenging techniques.

The Cotton Club program began in September and will run through August 2012. Kits run $24.95 plus tax per month; shipping is available for an additional cost. Call the shop today or come by for more details and to see our completed shop sample made by the Granary's Kris Clarkson! It's beautiful! This quilt is recommended for intermediate to advanced quilters.

Happy Quilting!
