Busy Week

It has been a very busy and fun week at the shop. The weather has cooled down and people are out and about thinking about holiday gifts, etc...
We had a hand applique class, machine quilting class and a Fabric Bling group meet this week in the classroom. I love seeing people charged up and inspired when they have learned a new technique, a new door opens and off they go. 

This little guy showed up at the shop this morning wanting some quilting lessons maybe?  I suggested he instead look at a long arm machine since well....you see he had very long arms.  I said sadly we were a bug free store though and he could look online possibly on our website of Nolting Longarm's website for further information. Any of our human customers are welcome to come in and talk with Patricia about purchasing a long arm or having a quilt top machine quilted at the shop.
Here are some new fabrics. I confess we have never really been into Civil War Reproductions but this line from Marcus had a book that went along with it kind of telling a story that was interesting so we decided to give them a try.  What do you think?

More batiks arrived this week! And we got the cutest coffee fabric line from Clothworks to balance out our tea party line! It has a panel and a free pattern that even includes directions for pot holders! 

We still have quilt festival tickets available stop in and avoid the lines downtown! Scissor guy will be here early next week- get your scissors in!!

Snip-snip!

Has your family used your good sewing scissors to cut paper despite all your threats?  

Good News!! Scissor Guy is coming in less than 2 weeks.  You can drop your scissors, knives and rotary blades off to be sharpened any time between now and then- you don't pay until you pick them up . Only $4 per pair.  Our customers have been very pleased with his work. He'll be visiting Quilters Crossing on September 28th.
