WINTER-SPRING, 2009
It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. The Shop Hop was a big success. The quilts were
beautiful and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. We’re looking forward to a new session of great classes.
We will be continuing the open Sit and Sew Sessions, P.M.S, BAB and Kathy Ehrhardt’s open Red Work Class.
Kathy Parr will be back with her very popular basket weaving classes. New patterns and fabric are coming in
all the time. I’m really excited about the Bonnie Blue collection! Be sure to check in at the shop or on line for
“by special request” classes that we may be adding from time to time.
IF THE WEATHER IS BAD, THE SHOP WILL MOST LIKELY BE CLOSED. Call before you drive
there.
New instructors this session will be Annie Palumbo teaching the “fun and done” method of quilting, Sharon
Emele doing a different wool penny rug each month, and Elizabeth Durie will be offering beginning knitting.
Jane Mahan will be returning with her Greek Key quilt and her popular blended quilts.
OPEN SEWING SESSIONS
Join us for open sewing sessions. This is an informal time where you can sit, sew & socialize. A staff
member will be on hand to answer questions, provide guidance and encouragement. It's your chance to
