$5 Quilt Club

 Special Announcement -

Starts in APRIL!

 

That's right, we're calling it $5 Quilt Club again!

 

Each month, come join us while we show off all the new stuff in the store. We'll spend about 30 minutes showing new fabric, books, patterns and notions. Then we have show-and-tell, where you can see what all your new friends have been up to that month and show off your own projects!

The first month, you'll pay $5 for a Regular Block kit with fabric and instructions. The following month, bring your completed Regular Block to one of our $5 Quilt Clubs and you'll get your next Regular Block kit for free!  If you forget to bring your completed block to a meeting or miss a meeting, that's okay! Although you won't get a block kit for free, you can purchase your next block for $5 any time after that month's meeting. This year, $5 Quilt Club will START IN APRIL (NOT March as in previous years) and go through December 2024 (9 months.) Each month, bring your completed Regular Block to one of the club meetings to get the next one for free! Again, if you miss a meeting or don't get your block done, you can pick one up any time after that month's first meeting for just $5.

 

The $5 still includes tax! Having cash in hand can help speed up the checkout process, but is not necessary.

Our APRIL meeting will be the big "reveal" for this year's quilt design.  

Each month there will be a Regular Block kit and optional Expansion Block kits. If you choose to do the optional Expansion Block kits, each extra block kit will be $5.  In other words, if you get your Regular Block done and show up for the next $5 Quilt Club, your next Regular Block kit will be free. If you choose to do optional Expansion Blocks, each kit will be an extra $5. You can decide month-to-month whether to purchase the Expansion Block kits or not, although most people do them all!

$5 Quilt Club is ALWAYS the SECOND SATURDAY of the month, AND the DAY BEFORE (Friday).  Sometimes, this is not the second Friday of the month!! You can see the dates on our calendar here. We meet on Friday and Saturday at 10am. You may choose to attend either of the sessions and do not need to sign up. If you can't stand for 45 minutes to an hour, you may wish to bring a small folding camp chair in case we run out of chairs. The Friday morning club has traditionally been more busy than the Saturday morning club.

To recap, there are only a couple of rules for $5 Quilt Club:
-  Show up on time and stay throughout the meeting. We will continue to broadcast our meeting on FaceBook live, but you will NOT get a block for free unless you attend a meeting in person.
-  Bring your completed Regular Block to get your next Regular Block for free, or be prepared to pay $5 for your next block kit.  We know life gets in the way, and we have heard really good excuses for why you couldn't attend or why your block is not finished, but PLEASE! don't put us in the position of having to tell you "no!"  It breaks our hearts.
