As I sit here writing this newsletter, I have so many thoughts going through my head. Do I have enough money for the quilt show, or do I have enough space to bring back all my items in my suitcase? But first I must finish my day with mom and do a little quilting and get my newsletter out. So here we go!

I made a visit two weeks ago to Summersville and purchased over 700 yards of fabric that I will be selling once I get back from Houston. I just need to find a weekend to have a popup sale. But you can stop by the studio after November 6th and shop. It is $7.00 a yard. Great price and great fabric.

We had a small group for Spooktacular this year, but we still had a great time. We also had a fun Paper Piecing class and got lots of trees made. Simple and easy to master pretty quick.

November brings us another 3-day sewing retreat. We have just four spots left for November 13-15th. Cost is $15.00 for the three days. We will also have a 2-day sewing event after thanksgiving on November 24 & 25th. Lots of time to finish those Christmas gifts or just get caught up before the new year starts.

I'm sure that I will be posting on Facebook about Houston so make sure that you are on my Shining Star page as a friend!

Update your calendar with my schedule below. Hope to see you soon. REMINDER: Christmas deadline is Thanksgiving.

Quilting ladies are the best friends you can have for life.

See you soon!

Learning and having a heart of giving is what this group is about. We constantly want to learn new things and be challenged at making our work better. But we also have a heart of giving to those who need it. We will be using the conference room at the Firehouse, 1956 Urbine Road, Powhatan, VA 23139. We start at 9 AM and sew until 1 PM.

Our next meeting is November 11th, starting at 9 am. We will now be working on NICU quilts for the next two months. At our November meeting we will be honoring a Veteran and working on NICU quilts. If you If you have any show and tell for the group, we love to see your quilts that you have completed. We look forward to seeing everyone after a busy summer. Hello to Fall because it is right around the corner.

Future Projects:

Welcome to a very new and special group of ladies. Our next meeting is Tuesday, November 21st. We will be working at the Studio that day. Bring a project that you are working on and a small snack to share. We have several projects that you can make and take with you this day. So, bring some of your green wool or white wool to cut for the projects that you want to do. We have a great time in this group, and we love sharing all the different things with each other.

We are open to people to joining us any month. Please join our fun and exciting group of ladies. Hope to see you very soon!

Need a few extra days to sew away from your home? Well, you can sign up for a Monday-Wednesday full three days of sewing and leave your machine and projects while you go home and sleep. I'm going to give you a full table to work at so that is going to limit spaces. There will be only 13 spots at the 3-day sewing. You will hold your spot with payment of $15.00. Not refundable if you don't show. The doors will open each day at 9 am and close about 5:00 pm.

Date: November 13-15th.

Date: December 11-13th
