Congratulations to Carol Dockery!!

Carol has a lunch bag

pattern featured in the

November/December issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine! The issue just arrived in the shop...hurry in for your copy!


The beginning of the Fall season...hmmm...a little warm!  Soon the chilly weather will be upon us so enjoy each ray of sun while it lasts! Not to make life go even faster but with the advent of cooler weather brings the holiday season! (sorry...but it will be here before you know it!)  Which leads us to....

 

Sewfie "Sewfie" (our Gammill longarm) has been hard at work these last few weeks stitching her lovely designs on quilts destined for holiday gifts.  As hard as it is to think about the holidays right now...it must be done!  To ensure that your quilt will be done in time for gift giving please plan on bringing your quilt to the shop no later than Friday November 30.  To be sure that you are able to meet with Jody or Paula to discuss your design desires please call the shop in advance to be sure one of us is available.

 

Can you believe PIQF starts one week from today!...October 11-14, 2012 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.  If you've been considering a new sewing machine or other big item this is your chance to see and try everything in one place!  We're so lucky to have this premier event in our backyard!  Don't forget to pick up a program at the front door...we have an ad you won't want to miss! Visit the PIQF website for more information.
