Dog Days of Summer - Week 2!

So I’m a little remiss here in that I was late…nearly the entire week late…before realizing I have said literally nothing on the blog about our Dog Days of Summer event.  By the time I realized this, it was late enough I figured I might as well just start with Week 2 and call it good enough.  

So what are the Dog Days of Summer?  I mean, aside from this "extremely summery" snap we’re having…I'm not not saying it's hot out, but I am saying a couple Hobbits tried to throw a ring into our backyard.  But for real now. Every week starting July 25th through August 27th something different will be on sale.  Tomorrow starts Week 2!

Week 2 (August 1st – 6th) is 20% off all Flannel.  

I know.  It’s 97 degrees out, and we put Flannel on sale?  

That’s right.  …are we insane?  Best not to answer that, but we’re thinking very cool and chilly thoughts while sweating our butts off.  We want cooler weather, and we want it soon – so help up manifest some more temperate temperatures and think chilly thoughts with us.  It’s all about the Flannel.

So what to do with Flannel?  Flannel quilts of course are awesome, but think about all the other neat stuff you can do with them.  Back a cotton quilt in a flannel to give it a little more warmth and plushness.  Who doesn’t love a comfy cozy flannel shirt?  Flannel makes lovely and soft receiving blankets, bibs, and burp cloths.  Pajama pants are always a win, and hand warmers in a festive flannel are a cute (and practical) quick gift to whip up for someone.  A flannel pillow looks great in fall fabrics, and of course you can’t go wrong with a soft flannel pillowcase. It's great for mug/tumbler cozies because they can keep the heat away from your hands better than a regular cotton.  If you need another fast gift, flannel makes for a very cute scarf.  

Looking ahead though, it’s not going to be too much longer until we as quilters start to think about the Holidays.  It may not feel like it, and we sure may not be ready, but it’s true!  Now’s the time to snap up those Flannels before the season for it gets here – once some of these are gone, they’re gone! 

See you in the shop soon….and don’t forget about UFO Challenge Day on August 13th!
