We hope you've had a chance to peruse the May-August classes that have been posted to the website.    There are great classes being offered this summer and several are already full or close to being full!  The PDF version of the newsletter is ready to download and print.  You will notice a slight change in our format.  We have tried to become even more "green" and have cut our paper usage by more than 50%!  You will find brief descriptions of the classes and ongoing events in the paper version and more details on the website. 

UPCOMING QUILT APPRAISAL DAY
Antique Quilts Magazine Do you have a special quilt you've wanted to have appraised? Here's your chance! Nancy Bavor, American Quilter's Society Certified Appraiser of quilted textiles, will be in the shop on Wednesday, May 7 from 10am-5pm for quilt appraisals. There are several appointment slots remaining.  Please call or stop by to make your appointment. Appraisals are $50 per quilt - appointments are scheduled in 30 minute increments. 

Time is flying by so fast that we thought we'd better Shop Hop logo remind you that Shop Hop will be here before we know it!  Gather your group of friends and your Shop Hop map to plan your route.  Visit the Shop Hop by the Bay website for all the details!

New "Small" Project of the Month
We are so excited to introduce our newest "small block of the month" program! Sandy will be making 6 of the irresistible projects from Nancy Halvorsen's newest book, Table Please. These easy, fusible applique projects will range from Spring to Summer to Patriotic to Birthday and will be introduced every other month since they are a little bigger than the small blocks of the month we've done in the past. Since we've also ordered Nancy's entire line of fabric, each project will feature the same fabric shown in the book. Our new program will run $24.95 per month. Your kit will include the fabric and any decorative buttons and/or embellishments to complete the featured project. Save 10% on your book (reg. $19) when you sign up! This program is offered by automatic credit card billing only--shipping is available for an additional fee. Our second featured project, "Summer Blooms Table Runner",  is perfect for your summer table! Sign up today so you don't miss a single one of these adorable home dec projects!
 
Return of the "Twinkler Sewciety"!
The Twinkler Sewciety is going strong!  We think you'll love our monthly selection. New to The Granary and the Twinkler Sewciety? Here's how it works.... Each month you will receive 8 specially coordinated fat quarters made up of the newest fabrics in the shop. The cost is $20.95 (plus tax) per month and membership is offered by automatic credit card billing only. Sign up today! You may join or cancel at any time; shipping is available for an additional fee.
