September Events

As I am sure you are well aware this weekend is a long one, and with it comes the start of September. In my house that means back to school, routines, and schedules, and more time for sewing yay! For the shop it means the start of many of our clubs and several events.
We have decided to kick the month off with a Back to School and Sewing Event. From Tuesday September 3-Saturday September 7, we will have a jar of colored pencils available to choose from. Each pencil will have a different discount or coupon on it, some of the coupons include 40% off your purchase, 15% off your favorite item, free mini charm, and more. The coupons are only good for the current purchase you are making.
The following week, Tuesday, September 10 is the first day of the Accuquilt GO! Club. This is always a fun club in which you learn more about the Accuquilt Machine and how to get the most from each Die.
September 13 &14 we have Susan Madu of Modern Blended Quilts coming to do 2 workshops and a trunk show. The workshops are for a pillow and for a quilt, one will take place each day, and the trunk show will take place on Friday Evening.
September 19 and 20 is the kick off to our Bag Clubs for the year. We will be making mesh bags and a thread Organizer, both are patterns from By Annie, and we have received some gifts from some of our distributors to hand out at this event.
Saturday, September 21 is National Sew A Jelly Roll Day, so be sure to set some time aside for this, what better excuse to sew than it being a national day specifically set aside just for sewing a jelly roll. We will have free patterns available in store if you come in on this date, as well as specials and a door prize.

The following weekend is Harvest Hop, the annual shop hop event for the shops in Coaldale and Lethbridge. Early registration ends September 14 so be sure to come in store before than to get your passport, if you cannot come in store give us a call or send us an email and we will work something our for you.
That brings us to the end of September!
We hope to see you in our shop for one or more of these events, coming to these is great for inspiration and motivation.
Do you have any big plans for the long weekend?
I am currently working on Christmas Quilts for my 4 boys, but am also planning to spend tomorrow and Monday just hanging out with them before it is Back to School on Tuesday.
