Snow Cancellation policy and more

We all had a pleasant time doing Redwork this morning at the Free Demonstration. Next Saturday I will do another, this time on Penny Rugs. This is a great way to do something productive but relaxing and calm in this crazy rush of holiday preparations. With this in mind, the special is 10% off woolfelt, and homespuns. Hopefully you will gain some inspiration, at the demo I will show you a super quick penny rug pincushion or sachet that you can whip up in no time. Its a great project for youngsters too, as woolfelt does not ravel. The pincushion ( or pillow for her favorite doll ) might just be the perfect project to keep ready in the cupboard for the first snow day.

Since we have seen our first flurries, let me remind you that if there is a snow cancellation or delay for Red Hook Central Schools workshops at the Village Fabric Shoppe will be postponed. New dates will be announced asap here on the blog, our answering machine, and if you have left an email at registration, by email. Please call ahead when visiting on those days as it is sometimes hard to get in to work, we would hate to have you come out in the snow to find us not yet open cause I couldn't get out my driveway.

This Tuesday Art Club will meet and discuss using panels, pillow squares and other hard to cut up fabric types. Last month we spoke about working from Photographs, and I have a link for you to check out. First Dutchess Quilt Guild has a subgroup that is doing Art Quit Challenges. For this one we were all given the same photograph and the prescribed size for the finished piece. My piece is at the shoppe, and a post on my personal blog about the doing. The results for the group were revealed at the meeting the other night and the organizer has posted all the photos on her blog. http://wildwomanglamgirl.blogspot.com/2010/12/first-dutchess-quilters-art-quilt.html They are great and both more varied and more similar than I expected. What do you think? Leave a comment here to let me know.

Lastly a reminder that we will be closed on the 24th and 25th, and on January first, so Magic Garden, our Blossom of the month will begin on the 8th. Can't wait for that!!!!
