September Events

It's September already, and back to school finally!! This past week was really busy, with painting the store interior, the DC Fair, and getting ready for my trip and back to school, but this September will be a great one. As usual, any of you that had needlework at the fair are invited to bring your piece to VFS to hang there for the month of September. You may leave your ribbons on!! This has been very popular in the past as it allows you to show your work with your name visible, and to actually see the work at a distance that you can see the stitching. I should also remind you that if it was done ( even in part ) at a workshop or in one of our clubs it qualifies for the class example program. After letting it hang for a while you get a discount of 20% off your total purchase when you pick it up. It is just a way to say Thank You for sharing.

We will be closed this Thursday- Saturday over Labor Day Weekend. When we come back we will be on regular hours again. There is no special as we are closed over the weekend, but on Sept 10 & 11, are Buy 4 get one free!! They are so useful for holiday gifts, and on the supply lists for all the holiday headstart projects that have supply lists!!! That brings me to the September schedule, listed in full below.
