Hi <%[First]%> <%[Last]%>,
Hello, my Quilters in Paradise!
It's time to rev up your engines 'cause the
2010 Southern California Quilter's Run
starts this Thursday, June 17th!
We're getting the shop all decked out
with lots of "good stuff" and new fabric for you
- including gorgeous Christmas fabrics from Hoffman, Robert Kaufman and Moda!
You'll want to take advantage of this month's
coupon
as the more you buy the more you save.
Just add up the total yardage of all your 1+ yard cuts and get the following discount off those cuts:
1 yard
10% off
2 yards
20% off
3+ yards
30% off!
Next, courtesy of our last newsletter which was brought to you by the letter 'B',
our quilt run special is our own
CutRiteTM Bind Up Tool.
It makes finishing your binding a snap
with a perfect mitred seam.
There's no measuring and no fancy math required ...
and it works on all binding strip sizes.
It normally retails for $9.95,
but during the run it is half price at only $5!
And no run would be complete without a special treat!
Each shop on the run is giving away a free charm,
but then you'll find yourself asking:
Just how am I supposed to display and show off all these colorful charms?
No problem ...
We've created 4 distinctive charm holders,
one for each area of the quilt run!
Laser-cut from clear acrylic plastic,
they're only $5 each.
And if you get all 4 in the set, you pay only $15 which means you get one free!
Just slip a lanyard through the provided hole and proudly wear your charms.
Or, use a safety pin to pin the charm holder to a sweater, shirt or vest!
We have several other delights for you,
but you'll have to stop in to see 'em!
With Flag Day having just occurred this past Monday
and Independence Day coming up soon,
what better way to get into the patriotic spirit
than making the
USA Trio
wall hanging.
We've laser-cut all the pieces for you and the kit comes in two sizes!
Our
calendar
continues to be busy this summer
with a diverse set of
classes
to choose from.
I do have a couple of important announcements to make.
First, even with the run in full swing, we will be having
Pizza Night
this Friday including a couple of entertaining "chick flicks".
(Despite desperate pleas from my husband, Mark, I had to say "Sorry, no Clint Eastwood"!)
Second,
based on feedback from many of you,
we are moving our
Finish It Today (FIT)
demos from the first Saturday of each month to the fourth Saturday of each month.
We will also no longer be holding the FIT demo on the second Thursday of each month.
Our next FIT demo will be Saturday, June 26th at 8:30 am!
Lastly, many of you have expressed an interest in learning to use the
Electric Quilt (EQ) software.
For me, I've found it indispensible and very handy in designing many of my quilts
as well as helping customers.
So, we are starting an EQ club which will meet once/month on the fourth Sunday from 10-12 starting July 22nd.
Stay tuned as more specifics are forthcoming!
Plus, I want to mention that the latest version of EQ,
EQ7
,
is now out and available at the shop.
I look forward to seeing many of you during the quilt run!
As Mark wrote in
Born to Go Run:
Like a true quilter's chum
We were born, born to go run
We will drive 'til done
Never so much fun
Take care and travel safe!
