And just like that...here comes winter.
It's getting cold out there! And cloudy and gray, and fall just disappeared! What better time to come inside and see what's new. There are new fabrics by the door, and bright colors everywhere you turn. Suzanne has been hanging samples, and finished quilts, so there is inspiration wherever you look. We've moved the rulers to their own wall, to make them easier to find, and our original kits are neatly hanging, waiting for you to take home. We have a brand-new Sulky thread display (details below, in Notions, News & Other Notes), some new books, and lots of great ideas for your upcoming projects. Please stop by when you have a few minutes, and check us out!
 We thank everyone who came in to sew with us last Saturday as part of our Helping Hands program. We got several bindings finished, and a donation of another finished quilt, so we will be giving 14 quilts to Laurie's House before Christmas. Thank you to Kea, Colette, Karen, Donna, Jan, Paula, Perri, Arlene, Sarah, and Lorraine. Your time and efforts are very much appreciated. Our next sewing day will be in early March, so look for updates through the winter! At right is a photo of some of the quilts that we're donating.
On a sad note, we've learned today of the passing of Nancy Zieman, internationally-known sewing enthusiast and teacher to thousands. Even if you didn't learn directly from her, you've probably used her products, or have seen her videos - she will be greatly missed in the quilting world.

Look at these lovely threads! These cabinets arrived last week, and they are filled with
12-wt. Sulky embroidery thread! Hand embroidery and wool applique are very popular right now, and we're carrying 160 different colors of thread, including 30 variegated spools! These yummy colors can also be used for machine quilting, as one of our customers showed us just the other day. Stop in and see for yourself - we're pretty sure you'll find a color or two to take home!
