You've heard the old saying, "You're the cat's pajamas!"  To echo the flapper set of the 1920's 'the cat's pajamas' became a way to say that someone was cool, great, special, the best. Other phrases such as 'the gnat's whiskers,' 'the bee's knees,' 'the clam's garters,' and 'the eel's ankles' were compliments as well but today we're sticking with 'the cat's pajamas' for two reasons...

First -- we really do think you're the BEST! We owe you a great deal of gratitude for keeping the Corn Wagon in business for 25 years and want to thank you with our biggest sale of the year -- our annual P.J. Party Sale -- and tomorrow, Saturday, November 2nd, is the day! We'll open early at 8:00 a.m. with our deepest discounts of the year. As the day goes on, the discounts decrease so roll out of bed, hop in the car in your pajamas (because, remember, you're one of the coolest cats we know) and arrive ready to celebrate with the best deals, prizes and treats!

Here's our party schedule (share with all your pals!):

You'll also have the chance to win some seriously great prizes thanks to a generous celebration donation from Riley Blake Designs! We hope you've had fun with us on Instagram this week where we've been offering a giveaway-a-day as we count down to party time! While you're at the shop tomorrow (11/02/24), we'll be awarding a prize every 30 minutes 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.! But wait, there's more... We have a fun little gift with purchase while supplies last! That was a lot of exclamation points but, hey, we're excited to party with the best customers a quilt shop could ask for!!! 

Discounts available on regular price items, in-store day of sale only. Some exclusions may apply. Discounts are not valid toward clearance items, services, classes, block-of-the-month kits or retreats.

Second -- Marianne Michaels finished the Cats in Pajamas quilt just in time for the P.J. Party! This clever design by Elizabeth Hartman, holds all the cool factor the phase intended. 6 cats in the cutest plaid pajamas stand ready to play against a solid pink background in a quilt perfectly sized for your little cat lover.  Our kit is for the small quilt, finishing at 55" x 55", as shown above.  It includes the pattern as well as cotton Kitchen Window Wovens, pink background and binding fabric, all by Robert Kaufman.


If we invite the Cats in Pajamas to the party, then we also must invite the Lambies in Pajammies. It's sort of an "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" situation. This whimsical wool applique project by Buttermilk Basin will keep you smiling while you stitch. Kits are available online and in-store while supplies last!

Get $20 off your rental fee per day when you book a room for a December retreat! It's a great gift for your quilty friends. We have plenty of room for setting up sewing stations, serving up delicious meals, and sewing "from sunrise to sunset" with your own quilt gang. Call Kathy Shinners at the shop for details and book your retreat before the schedule fills! 


Discount can not be combined with other offers and does not apply to bookings made previously.

This just in from the CW longarmers... It's time to set our Christmas cut-off for machine quilting services.
