Day Weekend 2013 newsletter
FALL SHOP HOP: October 4th and 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Yes,
we’ll be open both days!)
NEW HOURS: EVERY Saturday (closed Memorial Day, August 31st, and December 28th)
HOURS: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Before I forget: Pat,
Nola and Shirley brought in quilts for “Show and Tell” last Saturday. Sherry
brought in several projects a couple of weeks ago. I’d left my camera in Texas so I wasn’t able
to take pictures. Rosemary was kind
enough to take pictures of Sherry’s projects with her cell phone and emailed
them to me. I can’t figure out how to
rotate Rosemary’s pictures so you’ll need to turn your head to look at
them! I’ve posted pictures of everyone’s
stuff on the blog.
I failed to mention in the last
newsletter: Cheryl’s trunk show on
September 28th is free. We just need to know which show you’re
attending (10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.) so we know how many bodies to plan
for! Please call, email or stop by so I
can get an accurate count!
Karla’s “Paper Piecing” class on
September 14th has
been scheduled from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This is a great technique and not too difficult to learn. We had a great time learning a new technique
and know you will too.
The UPS man has been here
several times this week. I love seeing that big brown truck pull in the
driveway! Here’s what came in so far this week:
· “Texas Lone Star” jelly rolls, charm packs and mini charms.
These are by designer Sarah Khammash for Moda. If you love all things
Texas, you’ll love these pre-cuts! They’re so cute
· several more bolts of “Old Glory Gatherings” by Primitive
Gatherings for Moda. We decided to get more of this collection before
it’s all gone, never to be found again, anywhere!
· “Over the Rainbow” batiks in Misty Blue!
· “Bella Solids” charm packs and mini charms—the mini charms are so
stinkin’ cute!
· Eleven bolts of “you-could-use-this-for-a-Christmas-project” fabrics.
We don’t carry a lot of holiday specific fabrics, particularly Christmas
fabric. This year I decided to jump in the deep end…….we bought several
bolts of fabric that COULD be used for a Christmas project but isn’t holiday
specific for Christmas. Does that make any sense? You’ll know what
I’m talking about when I get pictures of it posted on the blog, hopefully
before this weekend.
· “Muslin Mates” layer cakes, charm packs and jelly rolls.
These are brand spanking new
pre-cuts from Moda. I’m
very happy to get these. I can’t wait to see what someone makes using
them.
P-Dub’s
Calendar of Events:
Every Saturday: “Sit-N-Sew” at the
shop. We have two new Bernina sewing machines for you to use when you
come for Sit-N-Sew. That keeps you from
lugging your heavy sewing machine to the shop.
Sit-N-Sew is always free and is a lot of fun (we actually get some
projects completed in between the talking, laughing and eating!). There’s
no need to let us know if you’re coming, just show up and plan on having a good
time while you’re here. On occasion,
Sweetness has been known to cook lunch for all Sit-N-Sew-ers.
August 31st: the shop will be closed
for Labor Day weekend
September 1st: The “Fall Shop Hop”

September 28th: Cheryl W. will have a free trunk show at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
demonstrating the AccuQuilt Go! Cutter and dies. If you’ve ever wondered how
the Go! Cutter works and the beautiful quilts you can make using it, now is the
time to find out. Cheryl is bringing lots of quilts she made using her Go!
Cutter. Don’t forget: if you buy a Go! Cutter from us, you’ll
receive a lifetime 15% discount on the mats and
dies. **Please let me know which trunk show you would like to attend
(10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.) so we’ll have enough room for everyone. Each
trunk show will last approximately one hour.
October 4th and 5th: Fall Shop Hop from 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The participating shops are “The Quilted Garden” in

starter kit for $3 at each shop, get some great discounts on fabric and help
out a local charity.
October 12th: “Twister” class from

The time and date are yet to be determined so….stay tuned.
Also (sometime) in November: “Sweet Pea” by Kansas
Troubles Quilters will be here. We ordered the entire collection
including all the pre-cuts (including honey buns and
fat quarter/fat eighth bundles). I don’t have the slightest idea where
we’re going to put that much fabric but I’m sure we’ll think of
something! YIPPEE! I can’t wait.
April 4th and 5th, 2014: The Cassville guild will
be having their quilt show at Crowder College in Cassville.
The shop will be closed this
Saturday for Labor Day. Sweetness and I
hope you have a safe Labor Day weekend.
See you September 7th,
P-Dub and Sweetness
