I wish all of you a Happy, Happy New Year! 2010 was a busy year especially with the Sewing Room moving across town. Moving the Sewing Room next to the Quilt Basket was the right decision for all of us. Bob (my husband, you probably seen him at the store), was and still is grateful for the move. I’m grateful for the best staff possible and I am grateful to all of you for your support and friendship. My way of thanking you is by always looking for new and exciting fabrics and products. We continually learn and teach new techniques, whether it is for hand or machine projects. Baske t Quilt Basket The The Quilt Basket will have several hand project clubs, Silver Thimble for hand embroidery lovers and Wild and Woolly Club. Cathy has designed a new wool project just for the club. Mary Beck is so excited, about the Cutwork Software and her serger, and it shows, when she teaches. If you know anyone who wants to learn how to sew, Meggan is teaching a Beginner’s Sewing Class. This is a wonderful time to start sewing, with so many fun projects available for new sewers. If you want help in your garment sewing, Meggan is also teaching an advanced/ beginner garment class. Kathy is re-teaching “Groovy Girls Sewing Club” but in the evening. We had many requests for the first series to be offered in the evening, so your request has been answered. Sue will be doing a Session II of “Be Dazzle”, what a dynamic quilt. If you did not take Session I, you may be able to take Session II, just ask Sue. Come in and see Suzanne’s fabulous “Pillow of Circles”. What a fun pillow, makes a great decorative touch.
