Hi,

IMPORTANT NEWS

I am having surgery tomorrow. I will be in work on Wednesday.

The Going Out Of Business sale will start tomorrow from 9-1:30 and continue from there.

NOTE I am closed This Friday and next Friday all day.

I plan on closing the store the end of this month. Come in while the supplies last.

Sale Starting Tuesday

Happy New Year One and All,

I have so much happening in the next three weeks that I know it is going to go by so quickly.

First is our Going Out Of Business Sale which starts on Tuesday. Everything is 25% off. Come in early for the best selections. I plan on closing the end of this month. I will be pulling out samples to sell too. They will be sold as priced. No discount. The stock of fabrics have greatly diminished already. All the patterns are already gone. I still have some books and notions and threads still available. Stock up while there is stock. Do not miss out. If you have a started project and are not sure if you had enough fabric, come in soon, it is moving fast. If you wanted to start a project and liked something here think fast before it is gone. Think backings, plan ahead for great savings.

Note: I will be closed two Fridays it will be January 9 & 16.

I hope most of you will stop by and give me a chance to say thank you for all your support for the last eight years. Larry and I will miss you all.

The last day of the year, I cannot believe it. When you reflect back on all that has happened in your life, with your family and friends it is amazing. I have had many losses this year, but on the positive side, I have learned how grateful I am for all who are with me.

The ladies and gentlemen who have crossed our door step are wonderful amazing people. Thank you all so much. I am hoping to wrap things a the store here by the end of January. It is not easy to see the faces of you all when you come in the door. I have gotten many wonderful hugs from some of you already. The end will not be easy, but I have to say I am so charged up at starting a new. I will stay in touch by email and visit many of you outside the store. I have been broached by a few stores to teach there. I will be doing it in the future. Quilting is in my blood and I do not plan on stopping it.

I have also started knitting again, I have made two scarfs for starters to remind myself after almost twenty years of how to do it. I have moved onto a hat and will try my hand at cables next. I have many valuable friend who I know that I can count on to help me when I get stuck and have a question.


I will be closed tomorrow January 1st. Have a Happy New Year. I am also going to be closed January 9th and 16th, two Fridays for the day.

If you have a started project and think you may need a little more of something, come in early. I have emptied many bolts of fabrics in the last two weeks. I don't want to see you miss out on needing that little bit more. Stay tuned next week for more information about our closing.

For those following my little ordeal before Christmas, I am not out of the woods yet, I see another doctor on Monday . I may have some permanent damage to my hand, I will know more next week.


Here is to a Healthier New Year for us all!

The Day After

I certainly hope the holidays were good for everyone. I really felt the spirit of Christmas this year more than ever. I want to let you all know the changes are happening fast at the shop. Be prepared, the quilts are all down, the quilt racks, pattern rack and patterns have left the building too. If there was a fabric or notion or book you have wanted you best come in soon as it will soon be gone. The store has an erie look to it.

I remember when I first walked into this store. I had my closest of friends working side by side with me. They helped me in so many ways. It was Veronica who found this location and many who worked hard to get me up and running in such a short time. I owe all of you a debt of gratitude for putting up with me then and reminding me to breathe, it would all work out fine. Then from there to have the passing of my family members, they stepped right up and made sure that I got thru it and the store was running, again I thank you all. For all those who have helped work the store, who ran classes, who made samples for me, I do treasure you all. I could not have done this without you all. Then of course there are those who started out as a customer, who took classes and have worked there way into my personal life and feel more like family. You have become good friends, who know me so well. I am blessed. For all the ladies and gentlemen who have crossed my door step and made me a better person. Thank you.

I am anxious to venture out into the world and be challenged again, to help others. It is time. Be happy for Larry and I, we will have so much down time coming that I am sure we can fill with photo expeditions. Thank you most to Larry for believing in me, for making this dream come true. for standing beside me, for believing in me, for always supporting my every whim.

Stay Healthy and Warm, Enjoy the Holidays.

Merry Christmas Eve

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas Eve to one and all. I have so much to be thankful for. I had an accident and almost lost the use of my hand and forearm. I was in the hospital for five days and am doing so much better, all will be well in just a short time. I threatened to discharge myself from the hospital if I could not be home for Christmas Eve, bad enough I missed the snow. Patience is not in my name or make up at all. I want it all all better now but will have to wait it out and do my follow up with the doctors. I promised to follow all the orders given to me.

So life is good, I will be surrounded with my family for several days and will smile be very content. Good things will be coming my way soon.

May one and all enjoy the holidays, take a minute to really appreciate those around us. Smile, enjoy, reflect and appreciate the life we are blessed to have.

Changes Are A Coming

Hello,

I am so in the spirit of Christmas. This Holiday Season will be very special to me. I am very happy and peaceful within. I am sad at the thought of saying good bye to all of you, but very excited about my future. Keep an eye here for more updates on the closing of the store. It will be happening soon. Don't wait to stop in.

Don't forget all filled keytags must turned in by December 31. They will no longer be accepted after that

The quote for all today is:

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Merry Christmas ! 9 more days

Holiday Cheer

Hello,

It is amazing the emails I had gotten, thank you one and all, each one means so much to me. I need to remind you this really is a good thing me. I will miss you all, but I am excited to be moving forward in my life. Larry and I will be able to spend more time together. My horizons have been widened with Camera Club. I have been reminded that life can be cut short suddenly and I for one do not want to say "gee I should have ..."

It is two weeks until Christmas, I am having so much fun getting ready; buying gifts, wrapping gifts and baking. This is a time to remember all our loved ones who have passed. They are in a better place, at peace and watching over me and smiling down on me saying "You Go Girl give them Hell!"

May you all find an inner peace this Holiday Season as I have.
