HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Good Day Everyone!

First and foremost, I want to take a moment to thank all the brave people all over the world in all branches of our military for the unstinting loyalty, bravery and heroism they portray each and every day on behalf of those of us still here at home.   To their families and all who love them, we want you to know that we remember them and thank them for all the sacrifices they have made on behalf of all citizens of the United States of America.  WE WILL NOT FORGET!!!!

Now, for a few more mundance matters in our quilting world.  First off, the Mother-Child class that was scheduled for last Saturday, May 19th was cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.  For all those people interested in taking this class, we will be scheduling it for Saturday, August 11th from 9:30 - 11:00.  The price will be the same, $15 per pair.  We need to know you will be taking the class no later than Wednesday, August 8th. 

We also have a Beginners Quilting Class beginning Saturday, June 23rd through Saturday, July 28th, except for the July 4th weekend.  This five week class is for those who have always wanted to try quilting, but haven't yet.  We will begin with the basics of piecing, piece several different types of blocks and piece the blocks together to make your first quilt top.  We need a minimum of 3 participants for this class to go ahead as scheduled (maximum class size is four persons), so call and let us know you are interested no later than Wednesday, June 20th.  If you have signed up and we don't have enough participants, we will call and let you know either Wednesday afternoon or Friday morning. 

Don't forget the Tennessee fabric challenge from last Fall's Shop Hop.  The projects are due to us for judging no later than June 1st.  Since Carousel Krafts is closing their doors, anyone who was going to submit projects there are welcome to bring them to me.  When you are in the shop, make sure and vote for your favorite. 

For all our loyal Saturday clients, we wanted to let everyone know that we will be closing at 12:00 p.m. this Saturday, May 26th.  We have a class scheduled on the new long-arm quilting machine program for us, and boy are we excited!!! 

Also, in case anyone is still in need of Bradley tomato plants, stop by and see us.  The cups are $1.00 each and these tomato plants are large ones, so stop by and see our selection. 

Again, thanks so much to all our loyal customers, and have a HAPPY AND SAFE MEMORIAL DAY weekend.

Morning Everyone:

Just taking a minute to say hello to everyone kind enough to read our blog.  We wanted to thank you for keeping up with the comings and goings in our little corner of Maury County.

Don't forget, this Saturday is the day of the BIG SALE!!!!  The weather (so far) is supposed to be absolutely beautiful.  Please come down and see what everyone will have for sale.  It is going to be a yard sale, plant sale, craft sale and, of course, FABRIC sale.   20% off on all our fabric on bolts, patterns, pattern books, pre-cuts........everything you need (or think you need, which works just as well) to finish that project or maybe start a new one.  Our quilt kits will be on sale for 10% off and range in size from lap/twin to queen.  Come and browse our selection and see what might become your next important project.  As well, all our already made bed sized quilts will be on sale, priced as marked with discounts anywhere from 10% - 25% off.  What a great way to get a quick present for someone, or maybe even for yourself. 

As a special treat, we will have music on the front porch beginning at 2:00 p.m.  Come to browse and stay to listen.  We will have at least one lady selling some delicious homemade fried pies to enjoy while you meander through.

I also wanted to reiterate our upcoming classes.  The schedule is in the prior post, and if you are interested you need to make sure you call and schedule a place.  Our Mother-Child class is scheduled for Saturday, May 19th.  So far, there is only one person confirmed.  If we don't have at least three participants per class, the class will be cancelled.  You must let us know by the Wednesday prior to the Saturday class.  If we don't have the required number of participants by Wednesday at 5:00 p.m, we will try diligently to call any of those who have scheduled to let them know the class is canceled so they can make other plans to enjoy their weekend.  We also have our Beginners Quilting Class scheduled beginning June 23rd.  If you have always wanted to learn, now is your chance.  Call the store and schedule a place.  Once the class is paid for, a supplies list will be provided. 

Give us a call if you need directions or want to schedule a class.  The store number is 931-682-3746 and the address is 5990 Leipers Creek Road.  We certainly hope to see you this Saturday!

Have a great day and a great rest of your week, everyone!!!

SALE....SALE....SALE....

Good Morning All:

That is a word that gets all our hearts pumping a little bit faster; the idea of getting a good deal on something we need or want is always a great feeling.  We are having a big sale on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the store (5990 Leipers Creek Road for those who haven't been by yet).  It is going to be a combination yard sale, craft sale, plant sale and, of course, fabric sale......YIPPEEE!!  For those of you who come see us regularly, we went fabric shopping just last week so we have some new fabrics for you to browse.  We have some really pretty baby flannels for those baby blankets that need to be made.  Even our new fabrics are going to be 20% off.......you just can't beat it!!!

We are going to have all our fabric on bolts on sale for 20% off....everything bolted.... YEA!!  We also are going to offer a 20% off discount on all our quilting books, single patterns, jelly rolls, fat quarter bundles and charm squares. 

We will be offering 10% off on all of our ready made quilt kits.  We have these from lap/twin sized all the way up to queen sized, so come pick up a project to start on next.  We have been busy making lots and lots of kits, so you are sure to find something to tempt you!

All our already made bed sized quilts will also be on sale.  They are going to range from 10% to 25% off and will be marked accordingly.  What a lovely gift this would make for someone, and on sale to boot!!!

Larry still has a bunch of his Bradley tomato plants, so come pick some up on the day of the sale.....he also has other vegetables and herbs so come see what you can use for your garden!

As a side note, I wanted everyone to know that the classes we mentioned last week are still being scheduled.  If you are interested, make sure and call the store at 931-682-3746 to schedule the one you want to take.  We need a minimum of 3 persons per class, or the class will not go ahead.  If you sign up and the class doesn't meet the minimum participants, we will call you as quickly as we can and let you know.  You need to call and let us know you want a particular class no later than Wednesday of the week the class is to begin.  Therefore, if you are interested in taking the Mother-Child class, we need to know no later than Wednesday, May 16th.  We will continue to update you as to classes as they are scheduled. 

Come see us on May 12th for our big combination yard / craft / plant / quilting supplies sale here at The Quilting Frame.  Thanks again!
