There is lots to get ready for this weekend! I kind of messed up and scheduled Aunt Mary's Customer Garage Sale and Back to School Sale on the same weekend as the "Tri County 91 Mile Yard Sale. Woops!!! Oh well! I think it will all work out great! It all kind of goes together anyway. You may have come to the Customer Garage sale in years past. SOOO much fun! I have all the tables in the classroom rented out to my customers. Many of them have been cleaning their studios of all the things that make them feel guilty. (Or lots of it anyway) This Saturday they will be selling it all at garage sale prices! (to make room for more.) If that's not enough we also have our "Back to School Sale this Thursday through Saturday. 15% off all yardage and books. Then........ there is the "91 Mile yard sale!!!
Each year the Tri County Quilt Association cleans out their shops of all kinds of goodies. I like to go through all my books, patterns, fabric and even kits that have not moved as fast as I would like and mark them all down to 50% off. I may even have a few samples to sell. It's just a great time to clean up and get ready for new. A really fun thing that the Tri County Association does during this event is a gift certificate give away. For every ten dollars that you spend in our shops this weekend, you get an entry into a drawing to win an either $10 or $20 gift certificate to five of our shops. COOL HU? Who wouldn't want that!?? Hey! and if that's not enough! Aunt Mary's will be hosting the QA Quilt Guild. They will be here selling tickets to win their raffle quilt. I hear it's gorgeous!!! It's shaping up to be a big weekend. I hope to see you.
Oh! The Wedding last Saturday was truly magical! Really one of the best days of my life! I've had lots of my friends say, "I bet your glad it's over" NOPE!! That day could go one for ever. The kids were so happy, the party was fun,(Thankfully, there was plenty of food) the sun came out just in time for the ceremony, and the evening was beautiful with all the lights in the trees. There was even fireworks! My favorite!! It was wort all the work that went into it. With that all said......... I'm really not as young as I used to be. Monday morning came way to soon! I was a ZOMBIE!!! It's Thursday now and I'm starting to feel a little more awake, and it's time to start thinking about the shop. We have lots of fun things on the horizon.
This Saturday, Aunt Mary's will be hosting "The American Hero's" quilt group. I love having them here. They do such great work. I'm proud that I can help in some little way. They would love to have you join them this Saturday. There is work for everyone. Binding, sewing a few blocks, ironing or just stopping by to cheer them on. They take donations of time, fabric or even $$. We also have some great classes coming up soon. Here's a picture of one of Krista's Tuffit classes. We have a new session coming soon. There are many fun classes, come in and get a newsletter and let's get you signed up. Then, Nest Saturday is our big Customer Garage Sale, that just happens to coincide with the big 91mile yard sale with the Tri County Quilt Shop Association. All the shops will be getting their clearance stuff out. More about that latter. I just had a Sales Rep come in the back door. I FORGOT!! Go figure!! I gotta get my head in the game. So Blog with you latter.
I don't usually share very much of my personal life on my blog, I try to keep it about the shop. Most of the time, My personal life is kind of boring! But I'm so very excited about this. My son, Pat, is getting married to a wonderful, dear, sweet girl this Saturday. VIRGINIA!!!! It will be at my house in my yard. We have been working in the yard for months now to have it all pretty. I'm making the food and the cake. Did I say how excited I am? It's just three days away!!! Everything is falling together quite well. I will be away from the shop the rest of the week. Ethel an Kathy will be here to take care of all your quilting needs. Come on in! Use the Name VIRGINIA and get 15% off your purchases. I'll try to post some pictures of the wedding.
