July 2010

Hi Everyone,

We hope that all of you guys had a wonderful Father’s Day. We were delighted to see so many of you on the Quilt Run.

June was a fun month and we hope you all had as much fun as we did. The run was great and it was exciting to see all of you having so much fun. Congratulations are also in order to winners Sarah Griffin of Oceanside the winner of the kids basket and to Noreen Shaffer of Redondo the winner of the adult basket here at Ginger’s Quilt Shoppe. Congratulations to all of the winners in the run. We had a ball and hope to see you all again next year.

Each time you bring in your Ginger’s “Go Green Bag” to carry home your purchases, your name will be put into the pot. One lucky person’s name will be drawn at the end of each month to receive a $25 gift card for Ginger’s Quilt Shoppe.

Congratulations Valerie Cox the winner of the $25 gift card for using her Ginger’s “Go Green Bag” to take home her purchases in the month of May.

Ginger is going to Big Bear for the weekend. Join her for a UFO Retreat August 14th, 15th, and 16th in Big Bear at a wonderful bed and breakfast called Inspirations (http://inspirationsatbigbear.com). The cost is $200 to $375 depending on occupancy and room. Cost includes all meals. Space is limited. You can reserve your spot directly with Lorraine at Inspirations. Contact: http://www.inspirationsatbigbear.com, for reservations or you can call or come by the shoppe for additional information.

Just a reminder, our classroom is available to anyone who wants to use it as long as there is not a class scheduled. There are times when the scheduled class is cancelled. So if you wish to use the room, just call us to check the availability of the classroom.

Don’t forget that we offer a one time shopping spree during your birthday month with 20% off your entire purchase (excludes classes, long arm services and gift cards).
