The Village Girls have stayed busy this year making samples, cutting kits, and helping our wonderful customers with their projects.
On Wednesday, December 15th, we will be hosting a Christmas Party. Everyone is invited!! Samples from our upcoming Block of the Months, clubs, and an updated class schedule will be available that day. There will be treats, wassail, and at 1:00 pm, a visit from Jill Finley of Jillily Studio. She will present a trunk show of her inspirational quilts and a book signing. Copies of Jill's book, "Stitched Together" will be available for purchase.
On January 1st, we will have a New Year's Day party from 11am to 2pm. We will have multiple demo stations of portable handwork projects, treats, and a special sale (to be announced on the website). Join us for football-free fun, food, and frivolity!!
We are also busy preparing for the January 2011 Winter Retreat with guest teacher, "The Nickel Lady" Pat Speth. At this time we have room for 1 or 2 students in each class. You still have time to reserve a space for the Maddox dinner and trunk show on Friday, January 7th. Pat has written 4 books that focus on making scrappy quilts with 5" squares. Her latest book, "Nickel Quilts & Borders" has seven new quilt designs and over 260 border ideas. You won't want to miss the chance to meet her and see her wonderful designs.
A new 5x5 year kicks off on January 29th, 2011. Each year Village Dry Goods offers a new 5x5 tote bag. The bag is $5. Bring it in on a 5th Saturday (there are 5 months in 2011 with a 5th Saturday) and everything that fits in the bag is 25% off!
Be sure to check out our website (http://www.villagedrygoods.com/) for updates to our class schedule, Block of the Month programs and club activities. The website should be updated with all the new projects and classes by the first of January.
