August, 2014 Classes
Hello,
I was beginning to think
that this month’s newsletter was not going to get published! But if I just
persist, sooner or later the computer will comply. Maybe none of you have ever
had problems with your computers but sometimes mine thinks it is on vacation.
UGH!
I hope this finds you enjoying your summer. We have a few
classes lined up for you to participate in. We’re keeping it light because we
understand that guests, harvesting, canning and a day at the lake are also on
the agenda.
Come join us for a day with your quilting friends.
Blessings,
Sandi

Ok,
NO, we are not dancing on the tables in this class. However, this is a fun,
unusual table topper that will get lots of complements. We can help you pick
fabrics and Clara will show you how easy it is.

Window Table Runner, part 2

your home.
Current & upcoming:
We have Teresa Wood’s
Huckleberry Fabric! It is beautiful and we are happy to support her endeavors.
We also have some new Suzy’s Zoo pieces that make us smile.
We are working on
scheduling more classes with Monique of Ladybug’s Cabin for you and we have her
new patterns in stock. In Sept. we will
start our 12 Weeks of Christmas projects to get your holiday quilting projects
started.
