We hope you enjoyed your holidays with family and friends!

Sale Here at The Granary we're all ready for our very fresh start to the new year! The shop has brand new, gorgeous carpet and new bathrooms to welcome the new year. We're so happy that the construction is over....we're ready to celebrate with you! On Friday and Saturday (January 4 & 5), we will ring in the New Year with a 20% off store-wide sale! (excluding kits, batting, classes and gift certificates.... 1/2 yard minimum cut off the bolt to receive discount) The entire staff will be together on Sunday, January 6 for inventory, and the less we have to count the earlier we can go home!

The paper/printable version of the newsletter is just about ready for you! The holidays and vacations interrupted the process! We should have it to you by the end of the week! In the meantime, all of our upcoming classes are listed online along with pictures of the samples.

Small Block of the Month

Sarah & Sandy will be sharing the "small block of the month" duties in 2013 and will be offering 2 patterns this year! Both patterns are from one of our most favorite designers, Amy Bradley Designs--Animal Whimsy and Merry Christmas. We are now accepting sign ups for both BOM programs. These easy, fusible applique blocks are so do-able when you only make one per month. Animal Whimsy will run $13.95/month and Merry Christmas $14.95/mo.; this price includes 12 monthly fabric kits and a finishing kit (sashing and/or borders). Save 10% on your pattern when you sign up for either program; we are also offering a 10% discount when you pre-pay for all 12 months! Programs offered by automatic credit card billing only--shipping is available for an additional fee.

The January blocks are now available in the shop! Sign up today!

Tyler Rose Block of the Month

Paula and Julie will begin their fourth block of the month quilt together in January. This year's stunning quilt, Tyler Rose Parade, comes from designer, Deb Luttrell, of Stitchin' Heaven, and features 30 beautiful, pieced blocks-15 unique blocks and 15 of the same alternating block. Each block is named for and celebrates a rose from Tyler, Texas, the rose capital of America. The finished quilt measures 88" x 102". This program is designed for the advanced beginner to intermediate quilter and will focus on precision cutting, piecing and pressing so that this quilt and all your future quilts will go together in a snap.
