Santi and Cara! Beautiful Designs

Last Saturday at MidSouths Best Sewing!

Hatched in Africa and All Sorts Embroidery!!!

Santi and Cara, two very talented ladies which happen to be mother and daughter (shown here with Karen) were with us this past Saturday. They presented a beautiful trunk show of their designs. As you can tell we were just popping at the seams (no pun intended) with ladies attending not only to meet Santi and Cara, but to take advantage of the great sale at MidSouth's Best Sewing! They really got some bargains!

Electric Quilt fans, version 7 is on its way! It will combine all we love about version 6 with fabulous new features, including so many ways to use photographs and other images they'll have their own worktable. That's right: EQ7 has an Images Worktable in addition to those for working on blocks and quilts. Stay tuned for more, including the date when the software (full version or upgrade) will be available in our store.

We Love Julie Hall...and her designs too! Last week was a blast with Julie teaching her stumpwork at MidSouth's Best. If you missed Julie, you really missed a treat! Her trunk show was absolutely beautiful. Come in and see her designs and you will have to agree. See you soon!

2 Days of Great Embroidery Fun

Tuesday and Wednesday was filled with great fun making the design from Julie Halls design collection. All the people attending completed there project and were ready to go home and put in a frame. We really enjoyed having Julie come to the store if you don't know her she is from Austrialia. She has beautiful designs. We now have lots of them in stock at the store.
We are also so very thankful to our friend Barbara (aka Tatoo Lady) for bring Julie up from Atlanta and being her driver while she was with us. If you missed this time hopefully we can have her back sometime next year.
Don't forget Saturday Santi from Hatched In Africa and Cara from AllSorts Embroidery will be at the store for there trunkshow.
I believe we will just call this the international week at MidSouths Best Sewing with Austrilia and South Africa both represented at our store this week ,we are so blessed to have such wonderful customers that come and support all these people we have come in and share there talents. Our customers are what make it a joy to have these kinds of gatherings.

Coming Soon!

MidSouth's Best Sewing Saturday, May 1 @ 11:00AMCash, checks or credit cards will be excepted.

I'm thinking it's time one of us posted something new! I've been playing with my WonderFil threads today. If you haven't tried them yet, you really should. Imagine metallic threads that stitch and embroider without breaking...these do. Just use a size 14 or 16 topstitching needle.

There are some heavyweight threads in luscious colors and variegateds, too, that will add great texture to your work, and they're as easy to sew with as the metallics...and I haven't even mentioned the heaviest threads, for bobbin work. You know, your Quattro has an extra bobbin case just for bobbin work, and these are the perfect threads to try.

Besides, with names like Sizzle, Razzle and Dazzle - not to mention Spaghetti - don't these threads make you want to play?

Hanging out with the boys... @ Woman Today Expo

A request

Hi, Everyone,

Are there any readers of Quilting Arts magazine out there? If you saw the stack at my house, you'd think I had them all, but no...

There's an article in the June/July 2009 issue (white cover background, with blue flowers with big orange centers) I'd like to read. If you have a copy of that issue and are coming to Embroidery Club on March 13th, would you bring it so I can take a look?

I promise to give it right back!

Thanks much,
Rebecca

Hello everyone

Not feeling so well this week so I decided to stop by the clinic on my way to work. Was not quite as simple as I thought. What I thought was a simple head cold turned into pneunomia so sad to say I am home for the remainder of the week. Don't let Karen and Martha get to bored so go on down and keep them company. Hope to back full strength next week. See ya then.
Carolyn

Coming Soon...

Hi, Everybody,

I'm getting excited and thought I'd post quickly: my new book, Redwork from The WORKBASKET, should be available by the end of next month! Karen says I can hang projects from the book in the store, so be looking for those in February. And Karen's promising a Coming Out (as in, my book's coming out) party in conjunction with March's Embroidery Club. Hope to see you all there!

We ask and you came thru!!!

Thanks to everyone that brought in blankets for the Kidney Foundation. We ran the promotion for 30 days and got an excellent responce. Maggie picked up the blankets on Tuesday to deliver and we had a total of 51. But I understand that some people that were snowed in delived some to the store on Wednesday so that will drive the number on up. You can see by the picture we had a mountain of blankets. Thanks for rising to the call and coming thru on this special need.

Carolyn

Project of Month

The Project of the Month class had low attendance but we sure had a great time. Those that braved the weather learned and lot and made a cute clock. I think they were inspired to go home and try making a second one.

Great TIME!!!

If you missed Embroidery Club and PE Design Club on Saturday you missed a great time. There were about 40 friends that showed up and it really warmed the store up having all those warm bodies inside. The snow and ice want keep some away. Yayyyyy!! We had a great program starting the year off with information about stablizer. Then Martha finished up the club with her PE Design class. We have classes most everyday so come on out and lets get those machines humming. We had a couple of new people at the club and I think maybe they liked us enough they will come back. I sure hope so.
Just a little heads up. There is going to be a awsum special running on the PR650 you know the big machine that everybody dreams about, it starts on January 20th and one of the perks is that good old 24 months same as cash financing. Now if you are interested get on in and lets talk and reserve a machine for you. I have a couple in stock and that way you will be ready when the promotion starts. Also the end of February we are going to have a all day class for the PR 650 so get your name on one quick.
If you responded to the call for blankets for the Kidney Foundation I don't have the number count but I have 2 big boxes to deliver.THANK YOU
If you responded to the call for the used towels for the William-Young Animal Shelter we have filled about 3 boxes for them. This will be ongoing. But the Kidney Foundation we are finished with that project.

Also if you have not heard we are going to do pillowcases again this year for different charities. This time if you want to donate fabric from your stash we will be taking that also. We want to start in the summer making the pillowcases. Remember in Nov we done about 92. Childrens Hospital was very excited to get theres and they received the most of them.

Stay warm and safe in your driving.
