Game Day!
Starting when we open at 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. come by for coffee, muffins, and informal board games with your sewing and quilting friends. We'll have Scrabble, Rummikub, LRC, card games, a jigsaw puzzle, and more set up and ready for you to play.
Then in the afternoon we'll play for great prizes as follows . . .
1:00 p.m.: Left, Right, Center. We'll provide each player with 2 fat quarters to start. Bring more if you want to stay in the game longer.
2:00 p.m.: Quilter's Bingo. We'll play as many games as we can in an hour with some very desirable prizes for lucky winners.
3:00 p.m.: Quilter's "Jeopardy." Put on your thinking caps for this one. Trivia questions will include those about quilting, our shop, the local community, and more. Again, we'll have some special prizes for the winners.

Travel in a Pack Day
Show up at the shop before 5 p.m. in a group of 5 and everyone will receive 20% off their entire purchase. We'll "number" you when you come through the door with your group. Heads up to our out of town customers . . . this is the perfect excuse for a fun road trip!
