Watermarks

Usually a watermark is a barely visible label in quality paper or photographs that is a mark of ownership or manufacture. This week, for way too much of the East Coast, the term Watermark has taken on another meaning. The roof leakage here has not done any structural damage and we can happily continue to be open - However, the drop ceiling in our gallery space is still wet and so our "Get a Closer Look" show has been cancelled. I do want to congratulate all of you who entered pieces at the fair, and especially to those who earned ribbons. I understand this year had some fierce competition. You should all be proud.

Our Winter Hours return on Tuesday, 10-5, Tues- Sat. Not so for several other shops in the area and our best wishes go out to everyone who is having troubles due to water marks. In an effort to help, we will have a Pillowcase Sewing Day, next Saturday, September 10 all day. The pillowcases created will be targeted for local flood victims. We have some fabrics, but feel free to bring from your stash. A basic case takes a 3/4 yard piece and a 1/4 yard piece. Please join us to help those of our neighbors who need us right now.

The Bicentennial Quilt meeting is on Wednesday, at 12:30. We have a few blocks yet to be turned in, and then we can begin sewing them together. The quilt in progress will be on Display in our front window on Hardscrabble Day, Sept 24. Please stop by and take a look.

On Tuesday the 13th, at 7 pm the Art Explorers Club will have its quarterly get together. The theme we have been exploring is landscape and if you bring a finished landscape quilt to show and share the meeting only costs you one dollar. Other who may wish to attend pay regular club price at $10.00. Please register ahead so we have an accurate head count and idea of how much wall space we will need to reserve for the landscapes.
