March 15th a beautiful day!

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful gift of beautiful weather "Mother" bestowed upon us today. See good things do come to those who wait.

Well, classes are going very well at the shop and I am just sending a reminder about a few up and coming classes with some beautiful new faces sharing their expertise with our customers.


Leading Lady Pleated Wristlet by Jessica VanDenburgh
Cost: $35.00
Date: Saturday, March 19, 1-4pm

First we have Jessica VanDenburgh with her "Leading Lady Pleated Wristlet". Jessica has been designing and teaching for years now and we are very pleased to welcome her to our teaching staff. This new design is perfect for the girl who likes to carry just the basics...and a bit more. This versatile wristlet can be used as a clutch or wallet by simply removing the detachable loop. This session includes learning how to sew a zipper in a bag...Jess's easy peasy way.


Morning Glory Raw Edge Applique by Cheryl Bloomer
Cost: $35.00
Date: Thursday, March 24, 6-9pm Kits are available for class or general purchase.

If you have been in the shop lately, you have had the pleasure of seeing Cheryl's great "raw edge applique" art pieces. She has taken several patterns and added her own magical touches to each one to create such pretty one of a kind pieces. Start with one of her kits and embellish to your hearts content. Morning Glories bring in spring with these beautiful blooms that are simple and sweet.


Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Your Sewing Machine by Linda Denner
Cost: $35.00
Date: Saturday, March 26, 12-3pm

In this class, you will learn the setting and preparation for perfect satin stitching and buttonhole stitches for applique. Also, when to use stabilizers, how to use decorative threads and embellishments, and how to get your $199 machine to behave like an $8,000 model. Bring your manual and unidentified presser feet for questions. Some machine quilting will be covered.
