Moda's Headquarters are located in Big D, that is Dallas,Texas for you foreigners. The Super Bowl will be played in the house that Jerry built which is down the road a piece in Arlington, Texas. Arlington is half way somewhere in between Dallas and Ft. Worth. The town is all a buzz with the Super Bowl activities even though our own Dallas Cowboys will not be playing in the "Big Game." We thought we would pass along some Super Bowl ideas, for the many "football widows" out there.

Tailgating Ideas-From the desk of Amy Matheny

You don’t need a tailgate to throw a shop party before the big game – just a little Quilt Shop spirit.

 Pre-game Preparation
  • Show your spirit; wear your favorite team colors, shop jerseys, crazy hats, big foam fingers or beer goggles
  • Mark your floor with yard line marks & decorate with sports theme
  • Encourage rowdiness & play fun music
  • Have a concession stand, provide coolers with water, soft drinks and snacks
  • Visit your local party store to stock up on supplies such as face paint, or any of the above items. Some of the shy fans may need a little encouragement. 


Game Day
Huddle-up for a day of open sewing
  • Have Coaches & Referees available for help with projects
  • Black and white referee shirts are available at all sporting goods stores. The knit referee pants are optional.
  • Recruit a cute young Cheerleader or Football Player for a pressing slave
  • Provide half time entertainment with fun trivia game with prizes.  Here is a football trivia site. Use some of these questions but change it up for quilting. When was the first jelly roll invented?

Hold a Pep-rally and promote new product
  • Set-up demo stations in your classroom or around the store – be sure to have plenty of the item to sell that day
  • Give “extra points” off for purchases at your tailgate party

Sponsor a “Charity Bowl”
  • Charge an admittance of a donation to a charity

Keep fans on the edge of their seats
  • Create excitement with a concessions vendor wandering the isles with a basket of a different “concessions” each hour
  • Have fun – “get your charm packs here - your choice only 2 for $15!”

Don’t forget your camera to capture all the fun and festivities for posting on Blogs, website and a collage for the store. Be sure and send us pictures of your Super Bowl. We would love to see them.

Keep tailgaters cheering all day long with some tasty snacks;
