Hang in there!
 
Hang in there is about all we can do these days, but we’re still here!  Many days that feels like the best we can do.  Then something will brighten your day and it’s worth moving forward.  I have found that a few minutes sitting out at the jetty brings me happiness and peace.  I hope you have found something that brings you peace and purpose.

EVENTS

We’re keeping pretty quiet still although we do have a few classes scheduled for this fall.  We will be following whatever mask guidelines in place at the time of the class.  We’re back to limiting class size to 3 so that everyone is socially distant and has their own sanitized ironing station.  Hopefully by spring, we will be able to lift limitations and have a larger class selection available.  As a reminder, I love hearing suggestions for possible classes.  Just like trying to figure out what to serve for dinner each night, a suggestion on what to offer is
always appreciated.

We are celebrating our 33rd year in business.  Forget-Me-Knots opened in September 1988 as a mainly needlework store and eventually grew to be more supportive of the quilting arts.  Unfortunately we can’t have a big party again this year, but I don’t want to let another year slip away without some sort of celebration!  So in the spirit of socially distancing, we are going to spread our party out over the entire month. When you tell us “Happy Anniversary” during the month of September, you will receive 33% off any 3 regularly priced items
(multiple yards of the same fabric counts as one item).  Also, when you spend $33 or more in regularly priced merchandise, you will receive an entry for a chance  to win one of 3 gift certificates for $33 that we will draw for on October 5th and a free fabric cupcake!  All
purchases must be made in store.

We will be participating in our annual Oktoberfest again this year.  We’ve made a minor change this year.  As in the past, you will receive an entry form for a $50 shop gift certificate and free pattern from each shop you visit.  But in addition to having a chance to win at each
shop you visit, if you visit all of the shops you will be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate from each shop for a grand prize total of $550. So all you have to visit is one shop to be eligible for a prize, but the more shops you visit, then more chances you have to win!

As of the writing of this newsletter, the Hugo Ladies Club is still planning on holding their quilt show on Friday, October 1st and Saturday, October 2nd from 9 am to 3 pm fin Hugo just outside of Grants Pass.  Of course, this is subject to change based on state guidelines, but we are planning on being a vendor if the show does happen.  We’re excited to be able to attend our first quilt show since 2019.  So keeping our fingers crossed...

Starting in November, we will be doing our annual Merchandise Basket Giveaway.  We will be giving away a total of 3 baskets.  You will receive one entry for every $25 spent on merchandise in store (includes sale items but not services like classes).  After a basket is drawn, the entry jar will be emptied and new entries will go in.  Basket #1 will be from November 2nd through November 20th.  Basket #2 will contain entries from November 23rd through December 11th.  Basket #3 will contain entries from December 14th through December 31st.
