Our winter visitors have begun to return and it is so nice to see all those familiar faces coming back. We have missed you all. Be sure to stop by and see what we have going on. We have already made up some new class samples and they are on display in the shop. Stop in to say hello and to check our our new samples!!
Well, after all the hard work, we have survived another Christmas. Now is a great time to learn a new technique or to take a class. If you have non-quilting friends, we have beginner classes that will be starting soon. Be sure to check the class pages. There should be something there that will peak your interest.
Once upon a time, there was an event where people gathered. It was the original social network and it was called ..the quilting bee. Women just like you got together around a quilting frame. They offered support and shared stories with each other. Well, we may not have a quilting frame but we can still get together to support one another and enjoy each others company. Come out and join the fun and get to know other quilters. We have a small group that gets together on Monday and Thursday afternoons from 2 - 5 PM. We sew (hand or machine) on UFO's that need to get finished. Maybe you just need a little inspiration to get you back on track. If you are interested in joining us, come on in or give me a call for additional information.
My ESP isn't so good so please let us know if there is a technique or a pattern you would like us to have a class on. We will do our best to get a class scheduled. Since you travel to other shops more than I do, you probably see a lot of patterns that I don't carry here. If you think it is something that might sell good in the shop, let me know. I am always willing to bring something new into the shop. Remember, if I don't have something in stock, I will special order it for you. Just ask.
We continue to meet on Monday mornings from 10 AM - 1 PM to work on charity quilts. We give our quilts to the Zephyrhaven Nursing Home and to Angelic Alliance. This year we gave them 45 quilts. Thanks to those who have been working so hard to make others happy. If you would like to join us, we have pattens and fabric. Just bring your sewing machine and your going to class supplies.
