Posted on Thursday, April 19th, 2012, by Lisa Goodlin, the Web Gal
On May 11, Calico Gals welcomes popular author and quilt maker, Marie Bostwick, to the Syracuse and Oswego stores! Each appearance will feature a 30 minute presentation followed by a book signing.
Books will be available for purchase, incuding Marie’s newest, Ties That Bind. There is no cost to attend, but please contact the store hosting the event if you plan to attend.
Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of Just Breathe, says about Marie’s novel, A Single Thread:
“By the time you finish this book, the women in A Single Thread will feel like your own girlfriends—emotional, funny, creative and deeply caring. It’s a story filled with wit and wisdom. Sit back and enjoy this big-hearted novel, and then pass it on to your best friend.”

Top Shop Tour
Did you ever notice the little weeping cherry tree in front of the Syracuse store? It’s the inspiration for the Four Seasons Sampler! Isn’t it pretty? It’s just one of several patterns you will receive when you attend the Top Shop Tour. This 4-shop shop hop starts Friday and lasts for 10 days. That gives you 2 weekends to get to every shop! Click here for the map to get you going.
All four stores in this hop have been featured in Quilt Sampler magazine as a top shop. Passports are just $5 and are packed in a very cute lunch bag. Take the tour and pick up all the fun patterns at each store. The weeping cherry tree is in the Calico Gals pattern pack. And then there are prizes . . . really good prizes totaling over $1200. You have to go to all four shops to be entered to win, so let’s go!
