If you pay with cash or check, you are entered to win one of 3 gift certificates ($25 each). On your birthday, you get that percent off one item (59% for me this year!), "shop hops" where participating shops give patterns and "gifts" to the participants. Buy 10 fq, get 1 free, buy 20 fq get 2 free, etc.

The place I moved from had a shop where they do a block of the month this way: they give you enough fabric (in two different colorways) to make a block and the directions for that month's block for $5. They demo how to make it which is nice if you are new to quilting or if you want to bring someone. If you bring it back completed you get the next block free. They always had tons of stuff on sale for that evening to go with your projects. If you couldn't make it one night you still could jump back in for $5. What a deal! I sure miss that shop.

Our LQS is celebrating 20 years in business so lots of specials, demonstrations, 20% off on different items on certain days, charity projects for anyone to make and contribute plus they offer donated fabric to use for the charity projects and space in their classroom to sew and use their machines. They also do bus trips and sponsor shop hops. They are a wonderful shop. I know they do other things but that's all I can think of at the moment!
