We realize it is only July, but it's time to start thinking about those Holiday gifts for friends and family. What is more special than something made just for that person? Check out the classes we have booked and if there is a class, day or time (including evenings) that you would like PLEASE give us a call or come in to talk with us and we will do everything in our power to make it happen!

We will be donating all the supplies to make quilts for the Spokane Shriner's Hospital to give comfort to the kids who are going through orthopedic or burn treatment there. We need lots of help to make this work. We need everyone who is willing to give any amount of time you can to do anything from Cutting, Piecing, Pressing, using the long arms, binding and labeling. Please sign up so we know how much to prepare or just drop in to do whatever you can for as long as you can. This is in Honor & Memory of Twila's dad, Lonnie D. Penney Sr., a Shriner who dedicated the last 20 years of his life to volunteer time, help raise money and who believed every child deserves the best medical care available no matter the circumstances. And tried to live their motto "A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child." Please help us make this a success!
July 23rd We will be taking part in the Deer Park Settler's Day parade and have a booth at celebration in Mix park. If you have taken a class and have a finished project please consider signing up to join us on our float or allow us to display your project on it.
