the month.
If you would like to participate in next year’s mystery block
of the month, registration has begun. There is no fee charged
for membership in this club. You will choose a colorway
(Romance or Ice Cream Parlor) at the time of registration and
will pay $18.00 for January’s block. The cost for each block
after that (February-December) is $5. However, if you attend a
Super Saturday meeting during the months of Feb. through Dec.
with your finished block from the previous month, you will

Sweet Treats Club
New for 2008, we have made some changes to the Sweet Treats
Club. What are Sweet Treats, you ask? They are the
scrumptiously delicious pre-cut fabric packs that are becoming
as popular with quilters and pattern designers as fat
quarters. Sweet Treats is what we call charm packs (5” x 5”
squares of coordinating fabrics), jelly rolls (2 ½” x 44”
strips of coordinating fabrics) and layer cakes (10” x 10”
squares of coordinating fabrics). These Sweet Treats are fun
and time-saving. Plus, they give your projects a wonderful
variety of fabrics that are perfectly coordinated. They are so
much fun to use, not to mention they are fun to collect! If
you haven’t tried them yet, there is not a better time than
now, and as a club member, you can save money while you do it.
Club membership is only $10 and could pay for itself in the
first month.
Membership includes the following benefits:
-
10% discount* on all your charm pack, jelly roll and layer
cake purchases through December 31, 2008 10% discount* on
the Sweet Treats featured pattern or book during the month
they are featured 10% discount* on Sweet Treat classes* (not
combinable with other discounts)
-
Each month, through December 2008, we will have a featured
project that uses charm packs and/or jelly rolls. There will
be a class offered for most of the featured projects.
Classes can be taken by club members as well as non-club
members, but club members will receive a 10% discount on the
Sweet Treats classes regardless of when they sign up for
them.
Join the Sweet Treats Club today and have some sweet fun and
save money, too! |
