| The Dog days of summer are here ! With the temperatures reaching high in the 90’s most of us are staying inside as much as possible trying to keep cool. It’s a great time to get started on your fall and winter projects. Just think girls, December is just 5 months away !! The girls here at the shop are busy making fall and winter samples to help you with inspiration and to show off all the new fabrics coming in! It's been quite busy here at the “Hangout” with kids summer camp well under way. The 1st session is finished and we have another class starting next week. Lot of fun and great project were made in the week of class. We are sure the next session will be just as much fun! There are lots of fun classes planned for the fall and summer. Free classes will be offered along with demo's, We will be having our first Mystery Quilt this fall also. Daina will be continuing to have bag and table topper/runner of the month, this has been a big hit and we hope you will join her and possibly get some of your Christmas gifts checked off your lists. She will also be doing demo’s the first Wednesday of the month from 10am until 1:30pm. For you girls doing BOM this will be happening on your pick up day!!! Pam will be teaching classes on childrens’ wear, a jacket and sundress. Her own pattern!! Please keep checking the calendar as several free classes will be offered. Deb will continue to inspire us out of the book “Simply 16’s” these classes are free and as you know she is trying to have several projects out of the same book to help us save our pennies. We would like to know who might be interested in beginning a club/get together for the reproduction/civil war era fabrics. We are thinking of doing blocks from the book “Civil War Love Letters” , this can be done using the paper piecing method or by cutting templates. Please let us know if you are interested so we can get this on the schedule ASAP. Sunday July 27th, from 10am to 4pm we are sponsoring a Girls’ Lunch Out. We are providing lunch and dessert, you will be responsible for your own drink and anything else you might like to share. This will be a time to work on UFO’s, show and tell and in general a great time. The fee is $15.00 and there will be a few door prizes given away. Love to see you there. Please sign up as space is limited. We are continuing to provide bags for Susan G Komen. To date we have turned in over 350 bags. Sadly they are giving out 20 to 25 per month so their need is great. Some bags are being used for other patients in chemotherapy as well. They have also asked if we can make small 10 inch pillows to provide support to the patients arms when receiving chemotherapy. So this is something we can also do when tired of making bags. I know I sometimes need a change!! Twelve more quilts have been given for the Quilt for soldiers. The quilts are now going to the local Elks chapter and they are being sent to Germany or Walter Reed Hospital. Thank you for everyone who has contributed their hard work. We are so looking forward to seeing you in the shop and hearing about your summer vacations. There are a lot of new Christmas fabrics arriving daily, along with the usual just New things. When you stop in please bring your show and tells we love to see what your are working on and finish. We are so lucky to have so many talented quilters and are fortunate enough to be in the position to see many beautiful things. Have a great rest of the summer, Deb, Gayle & the girls at the “Hangout” |
