getaways and instead
the summer rec programs are
coming to a close, football practice starts in
two weeks and our
Halloween and
Christmas fabrics have arrived and are
selling. We are in the final months of preparing for our 11th
Annual Quilt Harvest Retreat. I have included a few pictures of Lynette’s
home tour from last year. Classes are filling, but if you are interested,
give us a call and we can tell you what is available. For a complete list
of events and classes, you can download the
brochure
from our website. The Fall Favorites Top Shop Tour is scheduled for October
6, 7and 8, 2004 and still has seats available. This is a spectacular time
of the year to not only see 9 “APQ Sampler” Top Shops, but also to see the Minnesota and Wisconsin countryside during the peak fall color season. Call
for a brochure and information.
Our newest club is the
Hometown
Christmas Club. The project is shipped quarterly with fabric for
three
sections of the quilt and a book. During the other months, we have a small
project available to purchase with the directions to complete the project in
the
Hometown volume you received that quarter. When you sign up for the
club, you will receive automatic shipments quarterly (additional
projects need to be ordered separately). In June of 2005, you will be shipped the
completer kit. If you choose to order it online, you may do that
instead. The finished Hometown Christmas quilt measures 96 x 108 and
looks great on a bed anytime of the year. The Hometown Christmas
fabrics are also available by the yard. Start your Hometown Christmas
with all the trimmings today!
The new
Cider Hill book has arrived
and coordinates with the
Cider Hill flannels. The flannel is almost velvet-like. One of our
Cider Hill favorites is the
Ladder Back quilt. This is our
featured quilt of the month, regularly $97.95,
during August you can purchase it
for 20% off the regular price... only $78.36. You do need the Cider
Hill book to complete the project. Now is the time to get started on a
flannel quilt so that, in five months from now, you can snuggle up with it. Another
flannel project that I love is the
Blueberry Patch quilt from
the
Beginners Luck book. Our picture shows it in the
Holiday Homecoming flannels.
