MYSTERY QUILT UNVEILING AND SIGNUP
You picked up your final block in May. We gave you June and July to finish it and
now is the time to let us see them. We are planning a mystery club picnic on Sat-
urday Aug 2 at 12:00. Bring your quilt (in whatever stage it is in) and a lawn chair.
We will provide the hot dogs, ice tea and lemonade. We will take pictures to send to
the designer. If you weren’t part of the mystery club, come join the fun and see all
the quilts. If you sign up for the new mystery club between Aug 2 and Aug 8, you
will get $2.00 off the registration fee. The club will be run different this year. We
will not be providing a fabric packet each month. You will purchase all your fabric
up front and keep it. You will receive just the clue each month.
End of Bolt
Any time you take what is left on a bolt in our store, you get 30% off the total price
of that piece.
Retreat Bucks
Our computer keeps track of your buying. When you go on a retreat with us, you
get 1 retreat buck for every $5 you have spent (up to 30 retreat bucks)
50 Yard Dash
Our computer keeps track of the fabric you buy. When you have purchased 50
yards of fabric off the bolt at regular price you will get a $25 gift certificate. It’s
easier than a punch card because you don’t have to keep track at all.
Saturday Hours are until 3:00
C.O.D
Class on Demand. If you would like a particular class, we will schedule a class that
fits your schedule and at least 2 of your friends. Just ask!!

however, that our customers can’t always afford to buy every single new book that comes out! So we have decided
to add a new feature to the newsletter to help you narrow down what books are really great to put on your MUST
BUY list. Each newsletter a member of our staff will review a new book. It will be called :
