We have air!

For those of you who don't like to shop in this heat, we have air. Come in and shop in comfort, sit down and have a look through our book and shop till you drop. lol
Bad Betty is away and we miss you, so if you are ready this post we can't wait for your return. Knitters was very quiet yesterday as we were all concenctrating on our project. It was nice to see Connie and Josie out and all the regulars. I think by next week most of us will rise to the challenge and start a pair of toe up socks.
Rug hooking Wednesday afternoon and don't forget our Hook In Friday from 9:30-3:30.
A little bird named Raymond, told Cliff, that Barb Powers is back from Africa. Hope to see you at the Hook In with an update on your trip.
There is a new selection of dyed wools for hooking now in the shop for those of you who are looking. For those of you who are interested in doing wet felting we have lots of fibre at very reasonable prices. I might do some myself after having a new customer in yesterday. Funny how you become excited about a product all over again.
On a personal note. For those of you who know Sheena is having twins, the babies are moving and I'm getting a little more excited each day.
Hope you're all having a great summer.

Another beautiful day

What a great day. I don't remember a summer when we used the pool so much. With all this hot weather it is definately the answer at the end of the day.
Our Wonderfil machine embroidery thread is now on half price. I am looking at a new line and in order to make room we need to move out the old and bring in the new.
I hope to see some of our Christmas Fabric and new fall yarns arriving shortly. The snow will fly before we know it and I know some of our groups are starting their Christmas projects already. I will be very busy this Christmas with twins so I need to take some of my own advice and get started.
Our Knitters group are still meeting on Tuesday afternoons, Hookers on Wednesday afternoons and Stitchers on Thursday morning. You would be quite surprised at what gets accomplished in these groups so drop in and check us out.
I have the Electric Quilt 7 cds on the way for anyone who is interested.
I will let you know via the blog as soon as they are in.


Off to the barbecue.

The Ice is In!!!!

For those of you who know me well you know that Travis has been playing hockey for most of his 20 years. Well, this is one of the first summers that we haven't had to travel to Jr. Camps or hockey schools as he is going to College this year and going back to his team of last year the Deseronto Storm. Well, the ice is in and the rookie camp had been going well and of course Travis was in his element back on skates. New of the day was, broken nose and four stitches from a high stick. I haven't seem him yet today but I am sure that the black eyes will follow. I am surprized that he hasn't had a facial injury before now. So, when you see the flower delivery guy coming to your door, he hasn't been in a bar fight but a hockey altercation.

For the Rug Hooking Girls

Just a note for our Wednesday hookers. Sassy has been in an accident in the U.S. She should be home in Belleville when you read this. Tina let me know today. According to reports I have read online she and her daughter are okay. The car is a write off.

Baby it's hot outside..........

What a week! If we're not complaining about the weather I guess we're just not satisfied. Wow is it hot! Geri and I made it through the Prince Edward County Show thanks to the air but my goodness it is hot outside but thank goodness we have AIR! I slip from one spot to the next but only to get back into the air. I'm not sure it is a good thing because your body never warms up but for now I'm going for the air conditioning. I'll suffer the consequences later.
Cecile has started teaching on Saturdays and well as Mondays for those of you who can't make it to the weekday classes. Drop in and check out some of her classes for the summer. She has done some quick and easy quilt classes for beginners and for those of you who just want to freshen up your skills.
We carry Wonderfil thread in the shop and are making room for a new line of embroidery thread. For those of you who are looking for a special, we will have the Wonderfil on sale July 23,24 and 25th for half price. This applies only to the Embroidery thread.
Have a great rest of the week.

Prince Edward County Quilt Show

Geri and I are off to the quilt show again this morning. I had forgotten how tiring these things can be. Standing on cement is a killer for a long period of time but thankfully we remembered to bring our piece of rubber flooring along with us and that has saved both of us.
I haven't had time to go in and even look at the show the crowds were so large yesterday. The lineup was out the door and the crowd in the vendors mall was unbelievable . I was a little skeptical how many would attend in this heat but they came out in droves and the support is unbelievable.
These girls know how to run a quilt show. They can't do enough for the Vendors, from feeding us to making sure we have enough water to drink to assisting in booths if necessary. I didn't speak to one unhappy vendor.
HOpe to see you at the show.
