Good Morning Everyone.....

Just wanted to touch base with everyone......boy, have we been busy getting ready for the Middle Tennessee Shop Hop!  The Shop Hop starts on Saturday, September 24th and goes through the following Saturday, October 2nd.  There are seven shops participating, and I certainly hope you get a chance to visit each and every one of them.  Don't forget to buy your "passport" for a $5.00 donation.  100% of the money received from the passports will go to each shops chosen charity.  Again, ours is the Santa Fe Needy Student fund.  Once you get your passport stamped by each shop when you visit, turn it in at the last shop you visit and you will be entered for a Grand Prize drawing of a new Brother sewing machine.  Think of it this way, for a $5.00 donation to an excellent charity, you get to spend the day/days going from one quilt store to the next looking at all the new and exciting ideas, patterns, quilts and fabrics each shop will have on display, pick up a few bargains (since everyone has specials during the Shop Hop), and maybe win a brand new sewing machine.  This is a win-win situation for all the participants, so please come join us for this great event.  Remember, we have a special fabric made solely for the seven shops participating and available only through the seven quilt shops participating. 

As you can see from our last post, we are going to have on sale all of our lap and bed sized quilts at 25% off the marked price.  We will also have some special cuts of fabric and end of bolt pieces for 25% off the marked price. We will also have several of our quilt kits marked on sale at 25% off until they are gone.  Come by as quick as you can before we sell out of our great deals.  If you have any questions regarding any of the bed quilts, just give me a call and I can get the dimensions, etc., for you.  I will be posting some more pictures shortly of other quilts that will be on sale during our Shop Hop.

Any of our fellow quilters who have come by in the last few years know about our goodie bag discounts.  When you come in the shop, there will be a pumpkin man holding a pumpkin of sweet treats for all those who come by (and who can't use a shot of sugar when you've been visiting and shopping the whole day :)).  Inside the treat bag will be discounts on all REGULAR priced merchandise.  These discounts will not count on any items already on sale for the Shop Hop.  So, not only are you going to pick some great fabric, quilts and or quilt kits marked down by us for this week long event, but everyone will get some discount on any regular priced merchandise in the shop.  Doesn't the word DISCOUNT just make you smile.....a little.... :):)
In addition, we will be drawing for a Grand Prize door prize winner at our shop at the end of the last day of the Shop Hop.  The prize will be 50% off the cost of a long arm quilting service.  Please make sure you fill out your name, email address and contact phone number with us so we can let the winner know the exciting news!

One last mention before I sign off for the morning.  We are having our quilt class on the Double Irish Chain this Saturday, September 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  We have room for one, maybe two more quilters, so if you are at all interested, you need to call the shop ASAP and let us know.  The cost of the class is $35 plus the purchase of the quilt pattern book (Laps from Fats) at $23.95 + tax.  This is a great quilt pattern book filled with beautiful lap sized quilts for the beginner through the intermediate quilter made with......you guessed it........fat quarters.  We are also planning another class for sometime in November on the Labyrinth pattern quilt (which is displayed in the shop).  If you think you might be interested, please leave your name, contact phone number and email address with us when you stop by and we will contact you with all the details when they are firmed up.   

Ya'll have a great day, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
