Tuesday, July 19, 6:00-8:00 - Complete Quilting for Beginners (part 3 of 5)
Vintage Trick or Treat, 6:00-8:00 - Vintage Trick or Treat (part 4 of 6)
The second Saturday of each month IS A MYSTERY!
First of all, what is Mystery nite? Well, I am glad you asked! When you sign up for Mystery Nite, you are given the yardage requirements and basic cutting instructions for a quilt - that you have not seen. Sometimes the shop will put together kits from which you can choose, and for a small fee, the shop will cut for you. Then, on Mystery Nite (the 2nd Saturday of each month), you set up your machine, get out your fabric, and receive the first step in making your quilt. The first step? Of what quilt? That's the mystery! As you complete each step, you receive the next step, until you have them all and your quilt is finished.
A large part of the fun is the fellowship with other quilters who may have chosen vastly different colors/prints. It is SO interesting to see how they all look.
However, sometimes a Mystery participant has a last minute baby-blanket that they just HAVE to get done - and the only time they have available to work on it is Mystery Nite. Or they need motivation, even tho the baby shower is on Sunday - the next day. To accommodate this and other sewing/quilting needs, we have come up with the following:
Mystery night with pattern and fabric and dinner $55
Mystery night pattern with dinner $35
Mystery night dinner only $10
Mystery night space only (no dinner, no pattern etc) $5
Now that we have that all straightened out, let's look at August - Mystery Finish It Nite. The only charge for Mystery Finish It Nite is a potluck item. But don't forget to call or come in and register!
Make sense? Questions? Give the shop a call - we will be happy to answer them! Now hurry and make your reservation for the August Mystery Nite!
