I neglected to post any pictures of Chapter 2 from Mystery Monday last week, so I am posting those along with pictures of Chapter 3 from today!  Oooooh it is so fun seeing the mystery unfold, and there are only two chapters left!  I can't wait to see it all completed!

October is BREWING up fun at Pine Needles!

October is a crazy month for Pine Needles, it begins with LDS Conference Weekend which brings in a lot of ladies from out-of-town.  Next week we have Fall Frenzy, which is going to be FANTASTIC (click here for all the details)!  Not to mention UEA weekend, which means here in Utah all of the school kids are out of school for a looong weekend.   Then the following weekend (October 22nd & 23rd) it is Witches Night Out.  And then we are off to Quilt Market!!!!! 

Speaking of Quilt Market, Sandy has been busy designing some fun new patterns to release at Quilt Market.  But most exciting, is a new book featuring a whimsical applique quilt.  It is so, so, so, soooo cute.  The ladies at Pine Needles have had a look at some of the individual blocks, and are all beginning to collect fabric to make sure they have the perfect piece when it comes time to begin their applique!  

So as you see, October is brewing up a storm in Pine Needles and in Gardner Village!

It's ALL so EXCITING!!

It is all so exciting, I had a hard time deciding what to show you first!!  But we have been working toward this so hard, I decided the first thing I should show all of you is our NEW WEBSITE!!!!!    We just L-O-V-E, love our new look!  Take some time and navigate through, I think you will love it too!

Okay, next I wanted to show you that on the Quilt Sampler website you can view more photos (including the staff photo) that were taken of our store for the Fall 2010 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine! You can also view more photos of every store featured in this issue.  It was so exciting to see the photos, and they did such a great job for all of the featured stores!  We have enjoyed every step of this process, and loved working with the Quilt Sampler team- they are awesome!

And last, but not least, the WITCHES ARE OUT AND ABOUT in Gardner Village!  This is such a great time of year to visit Gardner Village, and many families have already made it a family tradition to take pictures of their kiddos in costume around the witch displays.  But if you haven't had a chance to come and see these life size witches for yourself, you are missing out on one of the best Halloween activities ever!!!  And to make the outing even better, make sure to print one of the Which Witch Scavenger Hunt sheets and bring it with you to make sure you do not miss ANY of the displays!

We look forward to seeing all of you soon!!!  Happy Haunting!

Oh Goodie, Goodie!!!!

We have all been dying for months, just waiting for the book Material Obsession 2 to arrive in the store - and today it came!!!  YAY!  This edition does NOT disappoint, it is absolutely FABULOUS! 

We also received Amy Butlers new book titled Amy Butlers Style Stitches, which is a book FILLED with the cutest patterns for bags, EVER! 

These are two books that will be GREAT additions to your collection!  :)

Mystery Monday CHAPTER ONE

original colorway

  

Our mystery begins in the small village of Gardner on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, where quilters have gathered.  Our cast of quilters is a delightful mix of women, some of them old, some young, and every stage in-between.  They are women experienced in the fine art of quilting and new seamstresses just dipping their toes in the fountain of fabric possibilities.  But they have one thing in common which has brought them together, a curiosity of things mysterious.  So without further adieu, let the mystery quilt unfold.....

There is still time to join the mystery, just the call or come in the store to sign up.  For those of you that live out of town, we can ship each chapter to you for a weekly $2 shipping fee, or you can have the completed mystery shipped to you at the end of the five weeks for $8.95.
