What A Day

WOW! The first day of Open House has been great. We had so much fun. There was a great turnout and the demos were pretty full. A lot of great ladies came in and we already have some new classes forming that is not on the class schedule. I will post more details later. Tamra brought in a new Bargello with appliqued turtles that is awesome. We put it up on a wall right away. Connie and Shannon were great helping out with our special events. They were great.

Come on in and see the great fabrics and notions and the great things to be had. There isn't much space that doesn't have a new quilt sample up.

The Fabric folding pen is such a less messy way to do freezer paper applique. The ladies really enjoyed seeing that. The purse demos were a hit also. Janelle's folded fabric potholder was awesome. A quick gift to whip up for someone. The Accucut system was a hit also. The ladies liked the idea of getting kits cut out so precise.

If you didn't get a chance to come in today be sure to stop in on Saturday and join the fun and have some refreshments and maybe win a door prize. See you tomorrow.
