Busy, busy,busy!!!

Hi all-

Wow... what a long time it's been!! Every time I think things will slow down a bit and I'll have a chance to catch up, I end up being horribly wrong!

We are once again using the Herberger's Community Day sale as a fund raiser. Sales haven't been quite a strong as previous autumn events, but I'm doing okay. The sale will be November 14 with pre-sales the 8th through the 13th. If anyone would like to buy a coupon book ($5), I will be at the south door from 4 to 6 tomorrow (Thursday, 10/29) and on Saturday 10 to 2. If anyone would like to take a few to sell to friends, that would be great too! This time for the $5, you get on coupon worth $10 off almost any item $10 or more (always some exceptions!), an up to 30% off early bird coupon (used before 9 a.m.) and 6 10% to 20% off coupons (depends on what you buy). They have, I think, 5 different bonus buys that day as well. It's a huge sale, and a good time to get some holiday shopping done!

I will post part 5, the final part of the Mystery Quilt tonight. I am anxious to see all the finished ones! I got another quilt made from the embroidered squares today... thanks, Sharon! They are all so adorable!

Oh yeah! Another big project! I'm in the process of moving our PL web page. The orgsites is a bit time consuming to do anything beyond the simplest things. The new site is http://projectlinusgreatfalls.giving.officelive.com. Give it a look and let me know what you think. I'm always open to suggestions. It will be much easier to post photos and I hope to get some up soon.

Our next Blanket Bee will be November 14th.... yes, the same day as the Herberger's sale. I don't know when I'll be working the day of the sale, but I've asked Marsha to take the reins for the blanket day if I'm not able to be there right away, so it will work out fine. I am thinking the December one might be a good time for another pot luck! Any 'yea's' or 'nay's'?

Well, I think that's the short and sweet of it. I'm working on getting a delivery ready for Benefis. I'm going to let my husband make those for a while since, being an EMT, he 'qualified' for the H1N1 vaccine.

Everyone stay well and stay warm!!

Mystery Quilt - Part 4

Hi everyone!!

Well, Part 4 of the Mystery Quilt is posted... sortof. I don't have one of the parts as a computer file...and I may not be able to get it until this weekend... so that is missing but the rest is there! This is only a 5 step quilt, so you're almost done!!

You can find the file to download at...

I'm thinking about who I'm using to host our webpage. The orgsites page is free, but very limiting. I'm thinking about Yahoo! and GoDaddy. Has anyone ever used either of these? They aren't free, but they aren't horribly expensive. Let me know if you've used either of these with either good or bad results.

In case you missed all the emails this morning, the next Blanket Bee will be this Saturday, October 10, at the Moose Lodge in Great Falls...10:30 to 2:30. You'll be getting an evite soon! Hope to see you then!

Enjoy the quilting weather!
