Fireworks!!

Can you believe that it is Independence Day already? As I watch the light drizzle of rain I find myself wishing for good weather for the fireworks displays. The volume, the sulfur smell and the sense of wonder that a special burst elicits brings out my inner child without fail. Luckily there are usually several places we can see a good show.

I am ready to Oooooh and Aahh and if you are too, I have a link to an online demonstration that will bring on just that. Sharon Schamber has put up a workshop on drawing quilting designs, These feathers are fabulous. I will warn you, it is nearly an hour and a half long, but worth it. www.sharonschambernetwork.com/Classes/AllPremiumClasses/Play/TabId/95/SeriesId/147/Spotlight-Class-Designing-For-The-Quilting-Process.aspx If you ever wondered how a top quilter comes up with her ideas, or love fancy feathers, you will enjoy it. I found it fascinating to watch, she shows you every line drawn, erased and re-worked, and explains each step.

For the Holiday weekend we will be closed Saturday the third, and while we are on the subject, we will close at 3:30 on the tenth. Please mark your calendars. On Friday the second, I will be putting out for sale a selection of decorator remnants. small pieces ( under a half yard) are $3.00 each, larger pieces will be labelled with yardage and price, nothing over $20.00. Some is upholstery weight, some silks and fancies, including yardages. Just the thing for dining chairs, Throw pillows, bags, valences for a window, sky's the limit. All kinds of colors patterns and styles too.

One more reminder, the Block of the Month will meet on July 10, not this Saturday due to the holiday. Enjoy the fireworks.
