Hello my happy quilters. I hope this email finds you living up to that title! I hope you are happy happy and that you are quilting!

Last week it was my birthday. I am so happy to finally reach the age where I can legally share a glass of wine with my husband. (hee hee) A few days before by birthday my husband asked me what I would like as a gift..... hmmmm. "I would like to sew," I said. In a very loving way, he looked at me like I was crazy. Insane. He didn't say it, but I could see the unspoken words, "So sew." Ah, but it's not that easy. I don't have the right stuff. I cleaned up my space when we had company a little while back and I like the way I can see my table.

But sewing is such a part of my therapy. It's my escape, my release. So I started to think about my birthday wish. What can I do to make my space more organized? Then I answered the question again. "I would like a sewing cabinet and chest of drawers." You see, if I could just have a place to put my stuff away and keep it organized, I can have my therapy and sew it too!

Now, my husband just smiled. This is a man who knew I was totally stressed out one day, so he quietly took out my machine, set it up, and walked away. He gets it. And so, for my birthday gift, I am getting a new sewing cabinet, a chest of drawers and a new energy into getting my space back to my space.

But it's no fun to celebrate a birthday alone, so I am making this week's Countdown to Christmas Sale a CABINET SALE! Now through Christmas, you can take 20% off any piece of Regal furniture! These are quality sewing cabinets, many of them folding into half their size for storage! They are the baby sister to Horn, so they are quality through and through. But wait, as an extra added special, I'm offering 30% off the grandmama of sewing cabinets... the Horn 830 system. This amazing cabinet was designed to hold the massive 830, but you can use it with any machine. (By the way, we have this one on display in the store. It's lovely and big, and we don't even have the back drop leaf up!

Are you excited? Oh, you should be. This is great! So hold that thought... and I'll tell you more in a couple of minutes.

Man, oh man! It feels like it should be Thanksgiving today. Turkey Day is late this year, but I'm not going to let that stop me! Let's have a Pre-Thanksgiving Turkey Draw!

So this is what we are going to do... I have filled a beautiful fall-colored vase with Hershey's chocolate kisses. But these are not just any ole chocolates. Some of them are very special chocolates. Some of these kisses will earn you free fat quarters, a free fat quarter bundle or free thread. ONE of those Kisses could win you the Tom Turkey Prize. The Tom Turkey Prize is your choice of a free Sewing Chair or a $300 gift card to spend at your favorite Cozy shop!

Intrigued? You should be. This is a great opportunity to walk away with free stuff! So how do you get to play? Easy. Each time you visit, you get to draw from the bowl. But wait, there's more, We'll also let you draw from the bowl for each $25 you spend! And for those of you following along in your Cozy playbook, that means you get Santa Points AND a turkey draw for each $25 you spend. But don't delay, we'll do this through Thanksgiving only.

And to sweeten the pot (pun intended!), I'm even having a terrific sale....

So how about this for a sale!? If you buy TWO YARDS or more of any fabric, you can take TWO DOLLARS off of the price per yard of that fabric! Pretty great, huh?

Do you want to learn more about the cabinets of which I speak? You can visit the Regal website to see them all. Including a terrific new cutting table which we should get in the store early December! (Look under Craft Tables, then R14.)

The website is regalcabinets.com. Check out the Storage Chests category. Item R09. I'll be getting that one. Now go to Traditional Airlift Cabinets. I can't decide between the R30 or the R53. I'll have to measure my space. If I had a studio of my own, I'd spring for the 3000.80 under Specialty Furniture. This fabulous sewing and cutting station has an electric lift that allows you to adjust the height of your table top! Oh, baby!

We can order any cabinet you see on that website. Browse in your jammies. Come on in to place your order! That's 20% off Regal. And 30% off the Horn 830 Cabinet (not on the Regal site). Now go tell your Santa.

In addition to the monster cabinet sale and the inventive and tasty Turkey Draw event, we also have Applique Society this weekend. Here is your invitation from the App Girls.

Applique Club at Cozy Quilt: Come and join the fun this Saturday November 22, 2008. We are going to do a gift exchange - which will be 1 yard of new fabric tucked into a brown paper lunch size bag. If you come and want to join in the exchange just bring the fabric in the bag. After that we are going to sit and stitch. Good time to get to know us. Hope to see you there!

Hey there, handy ladies. We are just about to put up the store Christmas tree. We are a little bored of our existing decorations, so we thought we'd ask you to help decorate our tree.

Here is your invitation to adorn our tree with hand-made ornaments. I know you love to make them. I know you love to show them off. So how about showing them off with our tree? Stitched, glues, embroidered, quilted. All home-made ornaments will be accepted. Then, come in and see what others have done!

Don't forget these great upcoming events:

Need some other reasons to come to Cozy?

Below is a sample quilt made for Jenna's new cousin, Dashiell. We used the FLANNEL jelly roll, Giggles to make this soft, lovely and totally cute quilt! We used the Cozy pattern, Gift Boxes. Pretty great, isn't it. Maybe Dash won't get it. The jelly roll is available in Boy (blues) and Girl (pinks!)

And speaking of flannel, how about this soft and lovely line by Nancy Halverson? It is called Williams Inn and we have it in pre-cut 10" squares and on the bolt!

How about this lovely bundle of fat quarters from the RJR Fabrics line of fabrics, Farmer's Market. These wonderful squares are soft to touch. The prints are delicate hand-painted flowers in shades of antique parchment, and soft petal pink on grounds of dusty rose, blue and pale green.

Since my Happy Quilters afar can't come and get kisses, how about a little special for web orders? Now through Nov 30, you can get FREE SHIPPING in the US on web orders $75 or higher. For our friends, abroad, we'll split the cost of shipping with you, giving you a 50% saving on shipping. Happy Shopping!
