LONG BEACH & Ric Rac!

We worked SO HARD to get our booth ready for the Long Beach Quilt Festival, and the1ST DAY IS ALREADY OVER!  

There are only 14 hours left (10-7 Sat & 10-3 Sun) of Festival BLISS so COME SEE US (booth #2046)

We have some GIGANTIC Ric Rac (2" wide!) and we want to know what you plan on doing (or already have done) with it!  Just leave a comment because WE WANT TO KNOW!

Super Saturday! (Will you be there?)

We have a super Saturday coming up tomorrow! Not only do we have a WONDERFUL Christmas in July (CiJ) class, but we also have a

Quilts of Valor event going on from 10-4!

The CiJ is the 2nd class to the Embellished Stockings series

(last week's was a raging success!)

The Quilts of Valor event is where you bring any orphan blocks, 100% cotton fabric or scraps (any color or design but juvenille), & UFO's to sew and donate to our war-wounded veterans for their hard work and sacrifice to keep us free! Bring your machines and a treat to share! (unless you don't want to...there're places you can buy food nearby) Bring tops or complete quilts you have just lying around to donate. Come have fun and say thanks to the troops by making quilts for them to aid in their healing!! We will have some supplies ready to construct blocks, quilt tops, pillowcases, and backs.

They have given 178 so far this year!!!

Please RSVP to Barbara Winkler as space is limited
