Arrow Cabinet Special

If you’ve looked at those sweet little Arrow cabinets, (and I know many of you have oohed and aahhed over the Pistachio Green Olivia cabinet,) then you’ll LOVE the deal that Arrow has put together for Valentine’s Day.    Purchase a select Arrow Cabinet and receive a FREE CHAIR or a FREE SUZI SIDEKICK storage cabinet.   This is a fantastic offer.

Super Bowl Sunday is truly “souper!”  Bill will bring his special chili and Missi her homemade vegetable soup.   You can bring snacks if you’d like – or just bring yourself and enjoy the company of a Sunday afternoon pre-game extravaganza.   You can sew, shop, and snack from 12:00 to 5:00.   We’ll have special deals, door prizes, and everyone who comes will receive special coupons to use later.

Cool Jackets

Learn how to make an absolutely stunning custom-jacket on a sweatshirt base.  This workshop takes place over three days, beginning Thursday, April 1 at 9:00 and going until Saturday, April 3, at 3:00.  Marge Perkins of “Designs by Marge,” will inspire, motivate, and lead you to creative possibilities that you might not even have thought about.  Cost of the workshop is $100.00 which includes two night facility charge and instructor’s fees.  Bring your basic sewing supplies, your machine, and your imagination.  If you have an embroidery machine, bring some of your favorite designs, but please know that machine embroidery is NOT required.   You do need to have some basic sewing skills.  This class is limited in number so you can receive enough one-on-one attention, so reserve NOW.

New Collection from Moda

Moda’s brand new group called “Verna” by Kate Spain has arrived.   Watch for the upcoming sample of a baby bag and changing pad made with this sweet, contemporary fabric.

Road Trip

The International Quilt Festival will be in Chicago at Rosemont in April.  Two area quilters are arranging a bus trip.  This is a “no-frills” trip that does not include meals or give-aways, but it does include a safe and easy way to get to the show.  The $48.00 cost includes bus fare and the admission ticket to the Quilt Festival.  If interested, call Gina Meredith at 217-446-5183 or Debbie Smitley @ 217-446-4328.  You may sign up at Threads of Time as well, but the money and details are organized through either of these two women.  Spots always fill up fast, so don’t delay.  The deadline for money and reservations is March 19th.
