Sew On-Sew Forth

Latest news from the shop.

Can you believe it’s February already! I’m still waiting for Winter to start. We’ve been busy in the shop since after Christmas. We started inventory in January and we were thrilled to finally be done, until we noticed discrepancies in our equipment and it all has to get recounted manually! The thrill is gone! lol

We are keeping our sanity by concentrating on our upcoming classes and planning the Spring retreat. It’s time for us to have a weekend of “me” time and some fun with our Embroiderers/Quilting buddies. There are some fun things and classes planned for our weekend. We are still trying to decide what the contest challenge will be, but we will let everyone who is going to the retreat, know in plenty of time.

Now back to classes. Colleen is whipping out class samples in short order, but Karen is giving her a run for her money, and making some nice samples as well. A lot of them are on

display in the shop. One of the samples Karen did was a Chenille wall hanging using two of the same panel for the project. There will be a class for making the Chenille wall hanging in March. Diana will be doing some classes, and one of them will be a quilt, using a Serger. We added a Table Runner of the month class and a Paper Piecing Class. You’ll find more information on all the classes on our website. Come on in and pay us a visit. Karen, Fran, Amy, and I would happy to see you. Our Two greeters, Pitbull, and Lao Ho will be waiting at the door to meet you. Diane.

New Classes Posted

I’ve put up the new Class schedule for January and February. We have general descriptions on some of the classes, but I will have complete descriptions of the patterns soon.

Here we are, almost on the last week before Christmas. Has anyone gotten they’re sewing done? I have so many gifts to make and I haven’t even started. Talk about procrastination! I still have to make Christmas cutout cookies. Wegmans has the land o lakes cookie dough buckets. I could go with that option, but I feel guilty for not making homemade.

We have a tendency of trying to do way to much that we don’t have a chance to relax and enjoy the holiday. So a bucket of cookie dough isn’t so bad. Or paring down on the sewing and just buy a gift will give us the time to enjoy ourselves.

We have a lot of great new classes planned for the new year so I want to see you sign up for some. It’ll be a great way to beat the winter blues!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Batik Class is Tomorrow

sewexciting — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:20:13 +0000

Don’t miss it!! I have a few different techniques to show you. The fun of this class is that no 2 projects look-alike, even using the same styles. I would advise that you have a project in mind, that way you are clear on the amount of fabric that you need to dye. This is a two-part class, but the second one will be quick as that’s when I’ll hand you back your finished dyed fabrics and answer any questions you might have. Hope to see everyone there!
