summer hours

As a reminder, we go to summer hours on Memorial Day, Saturdays stay 10-5, but Tues-Friday we will be open 11-5. This happens each year so that I may accommodate the different summer schedule of my family. Clubs that usually meet at 10 am will continue at their normal times as I can make arrangements once or twice a month. Thank you all for understanding.

The tote bag in the photo is "In the Pocket". It is a Scrap Therapy project, and you may make it, or the wall quilt called "Fly Away" Both use a wonderful flying geese technique and have room to embellish with paintsticks. The lady bug on the bag was done with a commercial stencil and paintsticks. I will have it at class if you want to use the same stencil. The details of the bag are wonderful, grommets to hold the straps, the beaded strap is really comfortable, and there are pockets on both sides, inside and outside, hence the name. Class starts Friday May 28, at 11 am. Call or email to reserve a spot. I can even email you the supply list.

For Memorial Day weekend, the special is 10% off all reproduction fabrics by the yard. Civil war era, Thirties, all of them. Since it is a weekend for remembrances, it just makes sense. You will want to come by anyway to see my newest old quilt. It is a string quilt that is really unusual in that it is two sided. It contains lots of gingham, and a good amount of soft purple. A really fun piece that was made by the same hand as the last batch of quilts that I rescued. I have a few more bits of information on her life too. Have a great weekend and I will see you soon!!
