Sweetness goes to the Emergency Room

If you came to the shop yesterday, you saw a different face behind the counter.  Cheryl W. and Pat held down the fort while I was in the ER with Sweetness.  He was having chest pains that mimic heart attack symptoms.  Since his heart attack in 2009, we are very aware of how fragile life can be. 

After a battery of blood tests (and an ultrasound) it was determined he did NOT have a cardiac event. Thank goodness.  I brought him home yesterday afternoon to rest and take it easy.  

"Thank You" to everyone on the prayer chain at church and to your customers who were praying for him before/during/after our trip to the ER.  Prayer Warriors rock!  

Vicki W. brought her 4 legged baby, Gracie, for a visit yesterday.  Gracie checked out the shop, sniffed the fabrics and was a genuine delight.  What a cutie pie!   

Dianna and Dorothy brought the quilt they've been working on using only "Kansas Troubles" fabrics. Needless to say, it's gorgeous and we love, love, love it!  

Lisa Q. brought her quilt that was displayed in the Powers Museum in Carthage during their traveling quilt exhibition.  Most of the fabric is this quilt is more than 100 years old.  

Lisa also brought a quilt she made for her F-I-L (Mr. Haynes).  The quilting for this gift to her father-in-law is truly exquisite.  

Olfa 16 1/2" frosted square rulers.  

Needle Grip-It dots.  

"Color Crush" batik layer cakes, charm packs and jelly rolls.   

"Modernism" by Barbara Brackman:  layer cake, charm packs and jelly rolls. 

Vicki W. and Gracie!
