Spring seems to be here, the trees are blooming and I see daffodils and tulips
every where. We had a wet winter, that was good for the water situation.
Open House/Meet the teachers will be Sunday, April 3rd, noon to 4pm. For those
of you who haven’t had the chance to stop by since we got new carpeting, you
really should come to the event to see our new layout. We’re rather proud of it
and the feedback from everyone who has been by has been warm and positive.
Thank you all.
It is Quilt Rush time again, all fourteen stores will be “QUILTING THE BLUES
AWAY” April 13th-17th. We are putting the finishing touches on our project.
and packaging new kits.
Row by Row was such fun last year, we are doing it again this year. The theme is
“HOME SWEET HOME”. We still have some 2015 license plates for sale, while we
wait for the 2016’s to be printed. See you between June 21st –September 6th.
Lots of fabric coming. Di Ford has a new line called GIGGLESWICK, more great
Kaffe Fassett prints, 1800’s from Washington Street Studios, and Marcus
Brothers . Batiks from Hoffman, RJR, Island Batiks, Stonehenge “Old Glory”,
FLOW by Zen Chic, new from French General is VILLE FLEURIE and Laundry
Basket’s new line is SOUTHERN EXPOSURE. Also, believe it or not, Halloween

& DELIGHTFUL, BOO CREW, SEW SCARY, SPOOKY DELIGHTS and, for
