12 Days of Fun
We've been having a lot of fun here with our 12 Days of Christmas in July event. There have been a lot of great free demos and make and take projects. Here's a couple of photos. This event continues through July 28. I will post a schedule of next week's demos and daily specials on Saturday.

12 Days of Christmas in July
Our 12 Days of Christmas in July starts Monday, July 16. We are doing things a bit different this year so hopefully I can explain it here.
First - We are having free demos every day and at least one "Make and Take" project. Each demo will last 5 to 15 minutes. For the make and take projects, we will have machines set up for you to use and kits available for around $5. This will give you the opportunity to try the technique to see if you like it and reinforce what you saw in the demo.
Second - We will have a "Daily Special" that will be 12% off (since it's 12 Days of Christmas) a certain category each day. The sale is good storewide, not just Christmas merchandise.
Third - Every purchase of $100 or more earns you a $10 gift certificate.
Fourth - Register for our door prize - I haven't quite nailed that one down but you know it will be good.
So here's a schedule to get you started:
Monday, July 16, 12% off all fabric on the bolt:
Paper Piecing demo and make and take w/Libby - 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
My favorite tools demo with Barb - noon and 3 p.m.
Quilt math with Beverly - 2 p.m.
Tuesday, July 17, 12% off all fat quarters:
Using panels demo with Nancy - 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Embroidery demo and make and take w/Suzie - 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
T-shirt quilts demo with Beverly - noon and 3 p.m.

Christmas in July
In an effort to communicate with you better, I decided it was time for me to blog. We seem to go from one event to the next at Quilter's Dream and they are all so great, I really want you to know what's going on. We are in the middle of our block-of-the month weekend which is always fun and busy and we get to see a lot of you.
The staff and I have been brainstorming and making lots of plans for our "12 Days of Christmas in July" which starts July 16 and runs through July 28. We are planning special demos each day as well as some "make and take" projects. There will be a "daily special" each day with different items on sale and door prize drawings. We've still got a week to go, so who knows what else we will cook up.
I will be posting a schedule of demos and daily specials so be sure to check back. See you soon.
