As the desert evenings grow cooler and the sun paints the landscape in golden hues, fall reminds us that even in the arid climate, change can feel magical.  It's the season for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. With every chilly breeze, autumn invites us to celebrate simple joys and a little bit of Halloween whimsy.

Get ready for the Great Pumpkin Challenge at The Quilter’s Faire! From October 1 to November 30, thirty-one creative quilters will design their own unique Quilt Seeds Pumpkin using Lori Holt’s Autumn Quilt Seeds patterns. 

All store employees will vote to choose the winner, who will be announced on Saturday, December 6th and will receive a $75 store gift certificate. 

To enter, simply purchase any Autumn Quilt Seeds pumpkin pattern. You'll receive a number to submit your finished pumpkin block—entries are limited to 31 participants and will be judged with a bit of spooky flair.

Starting October 1, our seasonal hours will be Thursday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.

The Reindeer Dash Holiday Hop is just two weeks away starting on Thursday, October 9^th through Saturday October 11^th.  All stores have extended hours from 9am – 5pm.  Come join the Build a Snowman fun and visit all shops to receive a fat quarter and our own pattern to Build a Snowman. 

Don’t forget to bring non-perishable (no glass or expired) items to receive a discount coupon for goods at any participating store in the month of December. 

Beware the 31^st – it’s when things get delightfully batty around here!  On any month with 31 days that aligns with our open hours, we’ll be pulling out all the stops for our “going Batty on the 31^st” celebration.  Expect eerie-good deals, a sprinkle of spooky surprises, and maybe even a bat or two (don’t worry, they’re the friendly kind)!  Come join the fun and let’s make the most of this wickedly wonderful day. 

October 31^st falls on Thursday All-Hallows Eve be sure to stop by the store in or out of costume for some spooktacular fun.
