HEAVENLY TREASURES' INSPIRATIONS September-October 2008 Heavenly Treasures is closed Sept 1 for Labor Day. RUN FOR THE BORDER will be a new regional shop hop being held Oct. 11-18. 3 shops in Kansas and 4 in Nebraska want you to take some time and do a little hopping across the border. 236 miles to hit 7 shops and possibly win a $50 gift certificate to each of those shops or $25 to each shop. Each shop will have an instore drawing, a mini quilt made with Blank fabric's Inspiration fabric dedicated to Ovarian Cancer, and a quick Christmas idea for you for under $20 per kit. You will get a free project pattern at each shop. You may pick up your passport booklet at any of the shop's beginning on Oct. 11. You will need to have the back page stamped at each of the shops you visit and you must visit all 7 to be in the drawings for the grand prizes. You will turn in that last page at your last stop and we will get together on October 20 and draw our winners. Participating shops are Needles I and Fabric Fairie in Auburn, Ne, Common Threads in Syracuse, Ne, Heavenly Treasures in Pawnee City, Ne, Quilting on the Square in Holton, Ks, Sunflower Quilt Shop in Hiawatha, Ks and The Quilt Basket in Seneca, Ks.

All of the clothing, housewares and toys are 50% off for closeout. All of the spices are in this sale so stock up now. Help me get this area cleared out so we can set up an enjoyable classroom area at Heavenly Treasures and get some bargains at the same time. Flat folded fabrics are $2/yard also.

I've not been to this event before but am told its quite overwhelming. Looking forward to seeing all the new things in the industry. NEW FABRICS: LOTS AND LOTS IS ALL I CAN SAY!

I will be hosting a Thimbleberries trunk show with quilts they have made and will send for us to display at Heavenly Treasures and have the books available for you to make these wonderful projects. Put this on your calendar for Oct 1 along with drawings and lots of fun. CRUISE WITH ME! We still have space on the Norwegian Spirit cruise ship departing New Orleans January 25, 2009. This sailing has two days at sea for us to sew, sew and sew some more. We will see ports of Mexico, Belize, Cozumel and Guatamala. We're going to offer 5 seminars with different projects including a picture bag, quilt n tote, fractured stars, table runner, and quilt in a cup. Five different teachers will be giving instructions. Pick up or call and we'll send you a brochure giving you all the details. THIMBLEBERRIES WILL HAVE THEIR SEPT MEETING ON SEPT 24 AND THE OCT MEETING ON THE 29TH. The afternoon group is at 1:30 and the evening group at 6:30. We will be having our charm camp on September 20 from 10am to 4pm. Just need to know if you're coming so I can have enough lunch. November 26 is "Tie one on day". Get your mind out of the bar and come and make an apron to celebrate on Nov. 22 from 10am to 4pm at Heavenly Treasures. We have patterns and panels to make aprons. Use the apron as the wrapping for a wonderful homemade baked gift to give to someone or just pass it on to someone with a note of encouragement. We have lots of apron patterns and you might be able to get more than one finished if you try. Bake up a nice loaf of banana bread and make someone's day! Just reserve your space, get fabric and pattern and come for fun. You'll have to print out the free item page at www.heavenlytreasurespc.com to to get a free item. Keep up the project Linus blankets.
