Little Dresses for Africa
New Fabric
Greetings! 

I want to start by sending a big shout out to the amazing volunteers and quilters who made last weekend's quilt show an awesome success!  I have gotten lots of positive responses about the show.  For those of you who made it to the show, I hope you enjoyed it.  For those who missed it, I hope to see you next year on the weekend before Labor Day 2012! 
Quilts for Wounded Soldiers
The Caring Cle Elum Ladies who make the quilts for wounded soldiers had a very successful time at the quilt show.  Between quilt raffle ticket sales and donations, they collected over $300, which will be used to mail the quilts to the soldiers.  Thank you to all who bought raffle tickets or made a contribution.  These ladies can always use your extra fabric, thread, and batting!   
It's Time for a September Sale!!
I have put all precut cotton fabrics on sale for 20% off!  That includes kits, five fats, six-stack packs, one-yard cuts, panels, and panel packs (one panel and four 1/2 yards of coordinating fabrics). 

All wool kits are 10% off! 

Take 15% off all books and patterns (excluding patterns by Eric Gunson and Nancy Rayner).
Little Dresses for Africa

Dear customers and friends have been sewing up a storm for the "Little Dresses for Africa" project.  One friend (who will remained unnamed, Joanne!) is working toward her target goal of one hundred dresses by September 6; she's already made well over 80!!

 

Thanks to all of you who are participating.  These adorable dresses will brighten the lives of little girls in Africa who deserve at least a pretty dress to wear.
Cook!
There are some darling selections from the Cook collection by Makower, including asparagus, carrots, and three wonderful all-over prints.  There are stew pots, chopped vegetables, and recipes scattered about!  Come and cook up something to make with these fabrics.
Thanks again to one and all for helping make the 3rd Annual Crazy for Quilts Show such a success!  You know who you are, and I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you!

Have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!
