Finally Fall !
What a crazy summer it was! So grateful that we dodged the" Florence" bullet here, and thankful that so many of you came out to support our donation to a hurricane relief organization just a few weeks ago. Our hearts and thoughts are with any of you who have been impacted by the terrible flooding. We have had a few nice days now that just make us want to close the shop and play outside. Only kidding! What we do have are many classes on the schedule for the rest of the year ( working on 2019 classes now), and great new fabrics are here and ordered for the winter/spring. Due to your requests, I have even ordered some "Kaffe"! Some will be here in November and some in February. Our first retreat filled in 8 days and the February and next November retreats are also about full. We are taking names for the wait lists. The pumpkins are on the porch, the fall and Christmas fabrics are moving quickly and before you know it we will be greeting trick or treaters and planning our turkey dinners. Hope to see you soon.
