Hi Everyone
First of all ---Thanks so much to all that took part in our great PICK YOUR DISCOUNT SALE. Wow were we ever busy. We needed that as we have to take stock the end of January.

We are having a BLOCK CHALLEGE. Yes we haven't had one for awhile and they are so much FUN. All you have to do is Buy a packet of Fabric for $5.00, register and make one or two
12 1/2" blocks and have them in the store by Feb. 25. You could win the blocks and 3 meters of Fabric to finish the Quilt. ( Plus the left over fabrics.)
We usually have enough blocks for at least two Quilts.

The other great event I would like to tell you about is our UFO THERAPY CLUB.
We are cleaning up and clearing out and thought maybe we could help you do the same.
We suggest you go through all your unfinished projects and sort them into one's you still like and one's you have no intension of finishing. Don't feel guilty about those WHAT WAS I THINKING OF PROJECT. Pull them out, pattern and all and package them up and donate them to one of the groups that make donation quilts.
In Salmon Arm you can bring them into the store either for the Baby Quilts, The Safe House donation quilts or the Chemo Quilts. We'll disperse them for you.
Next just pick up a Registration Form from The Sewing Basket and enter as many projects as you like. Each entry costs $1.00, and you will have to write a brief description of each one.
You must register by Feb. 28 and you have until Sept 30th to finish your projects. Anything unfinished qualifies as long as it is at least 1 1/2 years old (or older)
For every finished project you bring in you get an entry for all the prizes.

#1 A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR THE AMOUNT OF ALL THE ENTRIES
#2 A GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR $100 from The Sewing Basket
#3 TO #10 MYSTERY GIFTS (that means Jan just hasn't decided yet)

Are you having Fun Yet? Well join in some of our events or join in some of the classes .
We're always having a great time in the store.

Cheryl is busy opening lots of NEW FABRIC and yes it's still at the same old prices.
Drop in and see all these wonderful fabrics.

See you all soon.
