LAST SATURDAY DEMOS AND THE $5.00 QUILT

Would you believe you could make a quilt for $5.00? Believe it - you can. No quilter will want to miss this opportunity

to make 12 gorgeous quilt blocks for a total of $5.00, and then put them together to form a really spectacular quilt. Our

beautiful quilt is made of lovely blue and yellow fabrics, but we will offer it not only in blue and yellow, but also in

another lovely color way for you to choose from (or maybe you'll want to do both). Here is how it works: First you

must sign up. Then, come to the first demo on Saturday, February 23rd. After the demo, pick up your kit for your first

block which will cost you only $5.00. Bring your finished block back with you on the last Saturday of March (the 30th)),

watch the free demo, and receive your next block free. . .and so on each month until you have completed all 12 blocks.

The demos will be held from 9:00-10:00 a.m. each month, and you must be here for the entire demo to qualify. NO

EXCUSES, and no exceptions. If you don't make your block from the previous month, or you don't come to the demo,

you must pay $5.00 for the next kit. Be sure to call and register for this one so we know how many kits to cut. You

really will love it.
