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.
Carolyn
