Seeing 2020

How many other people feel the whirlwind of the holiday season? It seems like only a few days ago we were gearing up for our Small Business Saturday open house and now it's the beginning of a new decade! Time flies when your to-do list is just a revolving list of projects you just can't sew fast enough right?!

However, we haven't forgotten about all the wonderful people who came and supported us on Small Business Saturday. It was a great day and we were thrilled to see so many familiar faces, so thank you!  And the verdict was pretty much two thumbs up for our new Two Thimbles mugs - perfect for a hot cup of coffee or soup on a dreary winter day!  I think these made it on to a few Christmas wish lists too.

For those of you who were unable to attend, we had a fabulous showcase of our local teacher, author and creative Tonya Alexander. She even decided to put some workshops on the calendar with us!   Take a peek at the class list, if you haven't seen it already.

For those who participated in the Quilt Shop Tour, thank you! And as promised... we had 2 raffle winners at our shop - Congratulations Beverly and Summer!!!

Small Business Saturday

We're excited to show you our Two Thimbles Mug...perfect for a hot cup of coffee or morning oatmeal...or are you a fan of a hot toddy on these chilly evenings?!  It's a one size fits all universal mug, so you can repurpose this cup in your kitchen or sewing room! We've been working on this for some time now, trying to keep it a secret and we're unveiling them on Saturday November 30th for Small Business Saturday.

We'll have Stash Lab Quilts latest designs on display and Tonya will be here for her new pattern book release from 11am - 2pm on Saturday as well.  Hope you find time to get out and support your local quilt shop and other small businesses!
