Too Much Fun!!!

The Pillowcase Party was a great success, we now have 138!!! From 8 to eighty and more, very few customers who came in yesterday didn't stay long enough to make a pillowcase. My sincerest Thanks go out to everyone who participated. Special thanks go out to Diane, Deeanna, Jane and Gail for hanging out all day and helping keep things running smoothly. My Dear Daughter also gets recognition for serenading us with her lovely Flute Music. We all had Too Much Fun!! Watch for another event this Fall, and keep bringing in those cases.



This week we have Whoo's There, fabric collage for Kids, or the young at heart, on Thursday, and on Saturday, Crazy Quilt Club in the morning and Tisket a Tasket in the afternoon. A Tisket, A Tasket appliqué class that day will feature needle turn appliqué – probably the most versatile and certainly the most popular technique among the best appliqué artists, like Robin Pandolph and Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of Piece O’ Cake designs. This is one you shouldn’t miss!

A reminder that the fair is this week too. Check out the needlework section . Let anyone showing interest know that they can do it, and share the joy. Sometimes all it takes is a word of encouragement for a new quilter to get started. Our own Diane will be volunteering there on Tuesday and First Dutchess Quilt Guild will have a booth there as well. Those of you who have needlework on display please remember that as always I will gladly show any piece that was in the fair in our gallery space. We started doing this so the dedicated stitchers could get a closer look and it has been our most popular show every year we do it. Just bring in your piece (with your ribbon on it if you want ) and I will hang it for the month of September.

Lastly, as I am nearly ready to paint the main section of the store interior, I don't want to move any more than I have to, so if you finish a bolt of fabric on Friday or Saturday ( 27th & 28th ) you can take 25% off the entire piece of fabric. This is a great time to stock up on backgrounds, borders and backs!! Check the colors in your stash and coordinate, or just pick up the last bit of that fabric you fell in love with before it is all gone.

happy stitching!!
