Dear Friends, 2010 marks an important milestone for The Granary—our 10 year Anniversary!! Where has the time gone?! I always enjoy a walk down memory lane so I spent some time reading old Granary newsletters. It was fun to be reminded of the many classes and programs we’ve offered over the last 10 years. As I read those old newsletters, a consistent theme was clear: what makes the Granary such a special and inviting place to come is all the wonderful people who walk through our front door—from each of the friendly and dedicated staff members and teachers to all of our inspiring and loyal customers. You all make it so much fun for us to come to work every day. I’d be curious to know how many of you have been receiving our newsletter for all 10 years. If you have a funny or special Granary memory you’d like to share, drop us an email at granarynews@yahoo.com. A new year means new programs! Angela and I are each offering a new block of the month program (see page 3 of the newsletter or click here) for more details). We will also kick-off a fun new project in the shop in January called “Cinnamon Sticks,” a triangle block exchange program. Come by and find out what a “cinnamon stick” is, learn how easy it is to make half-square friendship triangles to exchange and find out about the beautiful quilts, throws, wall quilts and table runners you can create! Our “Strip Club” will be taking a new direction in 2010. We will continue to offer the 2½” pre-cut strip set quilts every other month (on the last Friday of the month), and alternate them with fat quarter quilts just to add a little variety to the program. See page 2 of the newsletter for complete details (or click here). We look forward to seeing you and your quilting projects in 2010! Sharing your projects and enthusiasm with us is what keeps us inspired in this age-old art of quilting. Here’s to your good health and prosperity in the New Year. Thank you for the generosity of your kind words and patronage over the last 10 years. Here’s to 10 more! Paula |
