LABOR DAY WEEKEND

We will be closed on Monday, Labor Day. We wish you all a great weekend.
We have been stocking the shelves with some great fabrics and notions. We have been putting some new things on the color walls. There are new browns, blacks, dots, reds, whites, creams, fall, marble mates just to name a few. Getting to unpack all the new things coming is kind of like getting to open presents. It is fun to see all the new fabrics and books and such.
We also have the new Travelers Companion book and CD. With the CD you can just print out the pages you need and you wouldn't have to carry the big book around. It is very user friendly.
We are gearing up for our Luau weekend. It will lots of fun and great bargains galore. Don't miss it.

Wednesday Demo was Fabulous

The demos on Wednesday was really fun. Candy showed us a new way to think when you are at the hardware store and office supply stores. We will be scheduling it again real soon. We have several requests to do it again and I just bet she will have even more ideas for us.There was even a nifty idea from the baby store that quilters can use. She showed us new ways to use painters tape and levelers, buckets, suction cup holders and lots more. Next time I am at the hardware and office supply I will think a little differently. Thanks so much Candy, it was great!!

We are making plans for our Luau September 5th and 6th. Decorate some flip flops and come on in for the end of summer bash! We will have lots of fun and even some sales. Plan now to attend. Candy will be doing Help From the Hardware Store demo at Luau.

We were so busy yesterday that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of Joanna's Spellbound quilt for Halloween. It is a fun quilt for Halloween. We have 4 kits left. It has a kind of Harry Potter type look.

We have some new Thimbleberries in. We have new samples up. There is a new collection for boys called Construction. It has a panel and fabrics to match that is all about heavy construction and trucks like little boys like.

Come in a see all the new things going on .We look forward to seeing you. Happy Quilting
