Hook in Friday!!!

I know there are alot of you away at Trent Rug hooking School, but for those of you left behind I am going to go ahead with the Hook In on Friday June 24th. Please let me know if you are coming.

Brenda Allen taught the ladies another great bag class using the square in a square techniques on Saturday past. Congratulations to everyone, especially you Bev. I noticed that you were completely done when you left. It is such a nice feeling walking out the door with your finished project in hand knowing that you don't have to do anything else to it when you go home.

I want to remind all machine embroiderers that the Wonderfil thread is still on for 50% off while supplies last. I also have the Solu Film stabilizer in stock.
The indoor yard sale continues with 99 cent fat quarters. I was way overstocked with the number of fat quarters we have cut and I thought this would be a great deal for those of you who are doing comfort quilts.
Take advantage of a great deal while supply lasts.

Square in a Square

Another great square in a square class was held Saturday at Andjareenas and what a great job the girls did. Brenda Allan does such a super job and everyone had a great time. Maybe I can fit into one of the classes one of these times. Brenda also offers a techniques class using the Square in a Square so that you can take your ruler to new heights. Anyone interested in setting up a class or if there is a guild out there interested in having Brenda come and teach for the day you can contact me and we will set up a class at the shop or Brenda is listed on the CQA website as a travelling teacher. You won't go wrong having her come to teach!

I am clearing out my Wonderfil thread. It will be 50 per cent off until it is gone. Wonderfil also has a top stitching thread called Accent that is about the weight of #12 perle cotton and we are clearing it out as well.

Knitters meet on Tuesday afternoons from 1-3 p.m. and hookers on Wednesday same hours. We would love to see you there.

Napanee Quilt show

Well, Geri, Sharon and I live to work another quilt show. lol. We have another successful show behind us and I will finally be back in the shop. It is always fun for us when we do shows with all the shops we know and can get caught up on the latest news. The girls from the Kingston/ Brockville area have a shop hop coming up in June. I believe it is around the 8,9 and 10th but I'm sure if you check Taylor's Sewing CEntre in Brockville or Picket Fence Fabrics you will be sure to get the correct dates. Who knows, I might use that as an excuse to get out and about myself.
The Napanee Quilt show was a huge success for everyone who attended and what a great bunch of ladies. They helped me carry everything in and helped load everything at the end of the day. Although they all had duties they still managed to lend us a hand and for that we thank them. Although I didn't win the Fathers Day prize, I have to commend them on their prize table. Someone went above and beyond the call of duty to get those prizes and perhaps that's partially what brings in the crowd. The quilts were amazing and all very different. This is what I would call a hard working group. Congratulations ladies and thanks for the invite.

Napanee quilt show

Geri and I are off to the Napanee Quilt show tomorrow at 8 a.m. Hope to see all of you there. It's supposed to rain all weekend so why not come on down and see the beautiful quilts the ladies have made.
There are plenty of vendors and you could do a little shopping while you are there. I am taking my rug hooking supplies as well as my Brazillian emroidery there for you ladies from the Kingston area that have called asking me to take them.
This week was a recovery from Mothers Day week. I think I'm finally back on track and ready to go. It was a busy week at the shop preparing for the quilt show and meeting with our knitters and hookers. We missed Bad Betty this week and hope she's feeling better soon.
My little babies were down for a visit yesterday and although I can hardly wait to see them again, I realize how exhausted I am when the have left. Peyton has beautiful new diamond earings that her Mom and Dad got for her and although she has very little hair she looks lovely in her new bling. Carter spent a good part of the evening with his Uncle Travis who, after a couple of hours felt he really needed a break. lol

Hope to see you guys at the show
