This "Falling Leaves" quilt is now being quilted by Nancy Peterson and when she finishes, it will hang in our store. The plan is for it to be auctioned off, probably later this summer, and the proceeds from the auction donated to charity. The gardens are scheduled to be viewable from May 23 until the first frost.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR Special CLUBS

50 Yard Club—Many of you are working hard to fill up your cards while others are working on their second and third cards and have already gotten $25.00 gift certificates. Be sure to ask about the 50 Yard Club the next time you purchase fabric.

Finish It Up Club—Our April winner was Lynn Wagner from Kouts (pictured below), whose winning project was a pair of panties she made for her daughter during my Lingerie class in March. Carol Cripe was the March winner. She had made a neat oven mitt in February. Both of these lucky ladies won a $20.00 gift certificate. Each month we post pictures of all of the entries in our front window. Check them out when you visit and bring your completed project (or projects) made with fabric purchased from us. We’ll include your picture the next time—and maybe even let you know that you’re a winner.

Birthday Club—Don’t forget to present your drivers’ license during your birthday month and you’ll receive a discount on one purchase equal to 1/2 your age. For some of us, that’s getting to be a significant percentage!

Join the Cut-Ups! —You can use our new AccuCut cutting system to cut strips, squares, rectangles, and appliqué shapes for your projects. This takes the drudgery out of cutting and gives you accurate cuts in a fraction of the time. For a fee of $5.00 per month (or pre-pay for a year and save $10.00), we’ll teach you to use the AccuCut. Then all you have to do is call and make a reservation. Use it as many times as you like during the month to cut fabric purchased in our shop (there will be an extra charge to cut fabric purchased elsewhere).
