Plastic bag

It's the end of the bag at The Granary!  Beginning Wednesday, March 20, The Granary will become subject to Sunnyvale's bag ban. Just like other cities, we will be required to charge for any paper bags given with a purchase. To avoid the headache of the City's quarterly reporting requirements relative to paper bag sales, I have decided that we will no longer offer paper bags at all. We will continue to sell our reusable bags for $1.95. I hope you won't mind remembering to bring your own bag when you shop at the Granary-doesn't everyone have a trunkful of reusable bags like I do?! 

 

New Classes Added

Double Wedding Ring Table RunnerDouble Wedding Ring - Kris Clarkson 

Kris has received many requests to teach this timeless quilting technique! A two session class has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 23 & 30, 6-9pm - $50.  You will be creating a table runner (which is a more manageable size project) to master the technique.  You will learn rotary cutting using acrylic templates and how to piece those curves!  This class is designed for advanced quilters only.

 

Heart to Heart Exchange Quilt - Ann Bakey (sorry - no picture yet!  We'll have it on the website and posted on Facebook ASAP!)

Ann has offered to be the leader for making this one of a kind quilt.  You will prepare your hearts in advance and exchange with other class members to get a truly unique quilt.  This winsome heart-to-heart exchange quilt sets a special mood of love, warmth and sharing.  Much like a stack-n-whack except this exchange is done in pairs of two so colors can be blended for that unique color theme or you can mix and match colors for a whimsical bold look - your choice.  This is an easy quilt to make, provides an opportunity to use the many different stitch features on your sewing machine, and is sure to be a favorite in your heart and home. Join Ann on Tuesday April 16 from 10:30am-2:30pm - $25. This class is for the very confident beginner.
