Dear Friends,
Fall is definitely here as we can tell not only by the weather but how short the days are getting.  The kids are finally settled back into the school routine and the bustle of the holidays is quickly approaching.   The smell of turkey cooking and pumpkin pies baking is a sure sign of Thanksgiving.  It's such fun to get together with family and ok lets face it eat all those great foods that come with this holiday.    
Happy Thanksgiving
Dorothy

Notion of the Month 
gingher applique' scissors

If you love to do applique' but find it difficult to cut the excess fabric away these scissors will make your life so much easier.  They have an offset handle that allows comfortable hand positioning  and fans the lower layer of fabric away from the upper layer to enable precise and close cutting.   
Dakota Collectibles
 Two new design cds  are available, they are:Button Up ( 20 designs that lend themselves to be embellished with buttons) and Free Standing Lace Doilies (10 designs that include 2 with applique) 

Fabric 
New arrivals have been coming in regularly.  A large number of new bolts of fabric have arrived, they include blenders, floral, novelty, and an adorable new panel for a baby quilt.  A number of new holiday fabrics, including a preprinted Christmas stocking and a preprinted advent calendar.  There is nothing like a fun new project to cheer you up so be sure to stock up on fabric for the days you don't want to go out in the weather.   
Dorothy's Sewing Tip
 When sewing on stretch fabrics it is very helpful to lay a piece of lightweight tearway stabilizer under where the stitch line will be.  This will help the fabric feed thru smoothly and it is easily removed after completion.
Books 
Just like fabric some of us have a need to have a collection of books with quilt patterns.  All of our books are 20% off everyday.  Our newest books are: Spotlight on Neutrals , this book has 12 projects with timeless appeal,including quilts, pillows, a square table topper and a mantle scarf. 
Slash your stash, 16 attractive pieced and appliqued design.  Play with a wide variety of scraps to give your projects depth and individuality.  Inspirational Applique , choose from 11 eye-catching designs that include wall hangings, table runners,a table topper and a pillow.  These projects were inspired by well-known Bible passages.
