Beginners! Where are all our beginners?? We've had so many requests for a beginner class and now that we're having one, we don't have very many people signed up! It's this Saturday, Nov 19th but it's not too late! The pattern is Turning Twenty and it's taught by Jackie.This is one of the easiest and best patterns to learn on and one of the best teachers to learn from!!! If you want to learn quilting, don't miss this one if you can help it! It's only $20 and includes the book.Saturday Nov 26th is the Chenille class with Kit and Shelly. Their main project is a pillow, but they could also help you with a scarf or another project if you'd like. There are also samples of pillows and scarves here in the shop.
Saturday, Dec 17th is a pillow class with Marcia and there will still be time to get some done before Christmas, or if you just need a creative break from the hectic Christmas season, sign up for this one!
Friday, Nov 25th and Saturday, Nov 26th will be Black Friday and Calico Saturday! Our sale will be 25% storewide (with a few exceptions of course, like consignments, etc. And no punching of punchcards. The usual. ) We can also give you a good deal on a Handi Quilter machine.Saturday Dec 3rd is our Open House and Quilt Gallery! We had so much fun last year! This is the day that several businesses in town have their open houses including Busy Bee and the LIO in this building. We have quilts hanging around in the classroom and the hallway, and everyone enjoys that. Remember, if you have quilts that you'd like to display - they don't have to be fancy, we just need a good amount, and a good variety of styles and sizes- or sell - we lower our consignment fee for this one day event - please let us know by phone (895-9895) or email info@thecalicocow.com. We have a few lined up from our Salcha friends, but would love to have lots of Delta quilts as well! Please let us know as far ahead as you can, so it doesn't wait until the last minute. Thanks!!
I believe that's our schedule for the next month or so. We will be closed on Thurs Nov 24th for Thanksgiving Day, but open the next two days for the sale. Stay tuned for more classes coming up in January!
Here's wishing you speed and accuracy as you finish your Christmas gift projects! Happy Quilting, and Happy Thanksgiving!

FOUR Day COLOR Sale
FOUR DAY COLOR SALE!
What’s that? Two different colors of fabric will be on sale for 20% off each day!
When? This Friday, May 28th, Sat., May 29th, Monday, May 30th and Tuesday, May 31st!
Please stop in to see which colors will be on sale each day, (you can call also).Colors will not be announced ahead of time.
Don’t miss this incredible sale, all fabric store-wide is included, even the brand new arrivals!
Exceptions: Any fabric already on sale.
Speaking of brand new arrivals, we have a LOT of it. We just got a huge shipment of Moda, which includes a ton of fabric and new patterns and new notions, as well as 2 beautiful new bolts of Ty Pennington polar fleece, and if you haven't been in for a few weeks, we have lots of new Alaskana fabrics. You should see the new Black, White and Bright Green prints we have - they are so cool, and we have a bunch of new baby flannel, too.
Also, today, we got in a few Barbara Lavallee "Kuspuks by the yard" tote bags, that will go fast, as well as some fun "Kuspuks by the yard" t-shirts. Hurry and get them before the tourists do!!
We got in the second pattern of our own Gayle Eastwood's Alaska Lighthouse series. We now have Five Finger Lighthouse, and Point Retreat Lighthouse. Come in and see the samples - you'll want to make your own! There will be more on the way.
Since it's such a busy time of year, the only class we have coming up is the Turning Twenty (just got better) class with Marcia on the 4th of June. It's very beginner friendly and uses the very hip Kaffe Fassett fabrics (if you so choose).
We hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous weather, but still finding a little time to quilt!

FMKQ Guild May Craft Day
Shana taught "as you go" strip quilting. Varied quilters created all sorts of delightful designs. Other quilters showed off some of the finsihed quilts as well as quilts in progress. Lovely day at the Calico Cow.
