We have been so happy and busy during these MN Shop Hop days, seeing old friends and meeting new ones from all over the place.  What a bunch of nice people!  We are so grateful for our dedicated quilters!  The Shop Hop continues a few more days, ending Aug. 19.  We do still have a lot of the fabrics left, which pleases many shoppers who are looking to add to their collection.

While the days of summer seem to be winding down, we are getting ready for our fall class offerings.  Debbie is working on the master calendar on paper, and then will start adding classes to the website.  They go live as soon as they are added, but if you want to see the full listing when everything is in place, please add your name to our email list and you will receive a notice.  The email list can be accessed on the website homepage.

Just a teaser about a couple of the upcoming classes--
Sue brought these in to share this morning.

 Also, I just put up another Scrappy Sack sample called Shoo Fly.  It is bottom right in the picture below.  These are small quilt kits, and the big bonus is that almost all of the cutting has been done for you!  A little cloth bag contains squares, triangles, border strips, etc., along with the directions.  These would make a fabulous present for anyone you know who likes to sew.  Remember to check them out now so we will have the one in stock that you want and you won't be disappointed!
