Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Another year has come and gone and here we are. Can you believe 2009 is over? We have had a very exciting 2009 with the changes we have made around here. Thank you for sticking by us with all of the transitions. We are excited about what has been going on in the store and we look forward to sharing 2010 with you. You will notice a few new things on the schedule as well as some old favorites. We have a few visiting teachers that are offering some fun stuff. We would like to take a minute to remind you to please register for all of your classes and clubs. It is important to give our teachers an accurate count of the number of students. It is also a good thing in case we have an emergency and we need to get in touch with all of the students for one reason or another. Also please take note that in the majority of our classes there is a pattern or book required for the class. If it is not one you already own you can purchase it before the class. We have some fun events in our area as well. In February the Turlock Quilt Guild is hosting their quilt show here in Turlock at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds. Also, in March we will once again be participating in the Quilters March Madness shop hop. We are very excited to be a part of this group of premiere quilt shops in Central California. This year the hop hours have been extended to include two weekends. The grand prize is a shopping spree to each of the participating quilt shops. A quilter’s dream come true. We look forward to 2010 and hope you do too. We would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
