Newsletter #7 August 2016
Hello!
The summer is speeding by and we hope that you are enjoying everything that goes with it. There has been lots of things happening at the shop, the biggest of which is Row-by-Row. It is so fun to see where the folks who come in for the patterns and kits are from. So far we have Alaska to Southern California, Michigan to Virginia and beyond. Congratulations to Judy Lugone who is our 2016 winner. Her quilt is beautiful!!! Come by the shop and check it out on our class room design wall.
We are looking forward to all the new samples and stock coming into the shop. In honor of our new samples coming in almost all books and patterns are 20% off! Some will have classes and oh all the classes we are getting to schedule for the fall and into winter. As always we have Sew Super Saturday coming up the first Saturday of each month with lots of fun demo's/projects to get us ready for the fall, holidays and winter ahead.

Thank you to everyone who came to help with our "A Smile Makes it All Worthwhile!" Project. Several of the gals asked if we could do it monthly so the 2nd Thursday of each month 10-4 will be set aside to continue making quilts w/ matching pillow cases for the kids at Shriners Hospital. Several ladies asked if they could donate fabric. That would be wonderful if you so choose to donate. Thank you! Please bring something to share for potluck lunch if you can stay all day.
