Speaking of R&R, did you know that September is National Sewing Month? Well, there you have it; for those of you who really do enjoy sewing, there is yet another reason to get those UFO's / projects out and get them finished!!!!!

Again, Thank each of you for your support, we cant do it without you and our staff! On THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 13th ONLY We will be celebrating with a Birthday Bash!

Saturday August 25th. We are hosting a FREE Introduction / demo to the Basic Sewing Machine. If you know anyone who might be interested in learning about a sewing machine, please direct them to our shop for additional information. They do not need to own or bring a machine on Saturday AUGUST 25th. If they already own an machine but do not know the basic's, This will be educational and beneficial for many. Then on September 22nd, we will start a Beginning Quilting Class / Program that will extend approximately 8 weeks. The goal over the 8 weeks will be to have a small quilt completed. Each Participant WILL be provided a Student Handbook to keep; however, each student will need to provide their own working machine and be somewhat familiar with it for the weekly Quilting class. Each student will make a baby or lap size quilt (pictured below) and will need to provide their own fabric's, and of course, each of our staff members have great eye for mixing fabric's and can assist, if needed. We will be offering Special pricing on machines this Saturday August 25th for the upcoming Quilting class.
