Hmmmm..

It's been a rough week here in quilt land.  We had a great turnout at Wednesday Morning Coffee, but I suddenly came down with the death grip cold that sent me to bed for two whole days!  Time I cannot afford to give over to kleenex and Triaminic!!  Then...getting back on my feet....we find out that Cindi has come down with her ever-popular stomach flu, or whatever that strange malady is that she gets now and then.  What's going on???  We all falling apart at the seams, or is the wonderful holiday season pressure just setting in?

Whatever....!!  We will not let this stuff get the best of us, and we will rise up and forge onward.  Well, kinda...

We're getting quilts done, at least.  And that is all that matters right now.  We had several quilts dropped off recently, and each of those quilt owners have had their names placed in our drawing for the Basket of Goodies to be given away next month.  Bring 'em in, ladies....free stuff is always good!!

Sale....Sale...Sale...

All of our notions are now on sale for 40% off!  Be sure to stop in and pick up those little items you may need...and at a discounted price!  (Batting is excluded)

All remaining fabrics are also on sale at 50% off.  See what we have left, and maybe you can find that perfect backing for that hidden-away quilt top!

So after all the whining....

Thanksgiving will be here next week, and we all look forward to spending time with family and friends, sharing our wonderful holiday meal.  Maybe we need to think about what we are really, really thankful for and celebrate those gifts.  Times are tough, going is rough...but still in all we have lots and lots of good stuff, good times, and especially good friends. 

Deanna and I are personally thankful for all the wonderful friendships we have made amongst our quilting buddies.  We have some great times, plenty of laughs, and even some good cries.  And we appreciate those friends greatly.  Thanks for being there!

Another week gone by..

Well, here it is Thursday again...the weeks just keep flying by!  Which just means Christmas is getting closer and closer.  (Time to panic???)  Seems like those holiday projects of mine are not getting themselves done..and no elves have shown up to help out either!  Drat..guess I need to kick into gear.  I hope everyone else is making more headway on projects; but for those that still need quilting done, remember we have a November 22nd deadline on drop-off to guarantee you get your projects back in time for holiday gift giving.

Wednesday Morning Coffee.....
It was an exciting coffee morning yesterday!  Two more of our favorite winter visitors returned....Julie and Janie...and it was really nice chatting and catching up.  Our coffee crowd continues to grow as everyone returns, and it is so much fun for all of us! We sure look forward to Wednesdays each week to see who else will return to the roost!

Newsletter....
We just sent out our November Newsletter, and posted on it that we will be having a drawing for a Basket of Goodies to be given away in December.  To enter the drawing, you must bring in a quilting project for us; bring in more than one and you can enter your name in there that many more times!  The contents of the basket is valued at over $100.00, and would make a great addition to any quilter's sewing stash. Take a look at what is crammed into this basket....

So, don't miss this opportunity to enter your name into our drawing...bring in your quilting projects soon!

In-House Retreat Cancelled....
Due to personal conflicts, we must cancel the In-House Retreat we had scheduled for the weekend of November 19th.  We will be rescheduling after the first of the new year, so stay tuned for that information.  Thanks and apologies to those that did sign up.  We'll catch you next time

Rim Country Round-up Quilt Show....
We are headed north this weekend to Payson, AZ for the annual Quilt Show there.  It's really a great show, with lots of beautiful quilts on display, and lots of great vendors to shop with.  Check out their web page for more information: http://www.rimcountryquiltroundup.com/.  Take a day this weekend and drive up...you will enjoy the scenic ride on the way as well as enjoying the quilt show!  Hope to see you there....
