November News
Fall is in the air. I have been keeping busy with everything. New samples in the shop, longarmed quilts are flying in and out of the door. Home is crazy too! We have completely re-done the outside of our house with just the back siding to finish up. Fundraising is just finishing up - Patrick was top of his pack with popcorn sales totaling $2,856, he also sold raffle tickets for the hockey association. M sold Otter coupon books and wreaths for Boy Scouts. Now I have a short break before the popcorn and wreaths come in on the same day for delivery, yikes! Thanks to all who helped to support them.
You will notice a familiar face around the shop more often. Now that summer is over Nita will be in the shop to help you with your purchases so I can keep up with the quilting demand. Stop in and say HI!
All of my fall classes were so much fun! Its not too late to join in on the fun of Wool Club or Barn Star Sampler. I have a tabletopper mystery November 19th that still has 2 openings. Cost is $60 and includes your lunch from Chef Dan.
I will be taking a long weekend the week of Thanksgiving, just being open Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd. I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year as Dan is on call that week so we can’t leave town, and I’m expecting around 20 for lunch! Wish me luck!
Looking ahead I will also be closed for a little over week (December 21-Jan 2) at Christmas. This is for a few reasons 1- No school 2- I haven’t had a good chance since buying the shop to do any organizing. If you’ve peered into my longarm room that is pretty apparent. 3- Last year I was still struggling with my work-life balance and I didn’t have a chance to get much baking done, or have quality family time. I hope you all understand this and I will do my best to squeeze everyone’s last minute Christmas quilts in. Watch out for a sale to happen mid-December!
I will be on vacation the first weekend in November so Nita will be your hostess for sit and sew, and my mom, Karen Czech, will be your hostess for Share it Saturday! This is the second month of the different week, 1st Saturday instead of 2nd, for Share it Saturday so mark your schedules!
