(Sunday, October 18th)

My mom used to have a needlepoint piece over the t.v.....it read
"The hurrier I go, the behinder I get"
Never thought that would pertain to me....until now! Hmmmm....

With that being said...wow, where has the time gone!
Halloween is almost here and Christmas isn't far behind, is it!!

We've got a lot going on at the shop these days...the 3rd session of Kim Diehl's What Nots Club is in full swing with a lively bunch of girls participating...Jo Morton's "Little Women" Club winds down this month with a break until the first of next year. (Yes, we are now taking names for the next session!)....and our new Block of the Month, Lori Holt's "Farm Girl Vintage" begins this Saturday! Never a dull moment around here for sure!!

Sabrina is sending out a quick email to all of the girls signed up for "Farm Girl Vintage"...so if you are on the list, be looking for that! It has some important information you need to know and we also need to know whether or not you will need to pick up a book with the first kit. I have about a dozen books on hold for this group...but I want to make sure I have enough....so if you are needing a book, let us know!!

And, it's not too late to jump in on this new block of the month!
Cost is $24.95 per month for 12 months for 4 - 6" block kits. If you are a wow member, you'll be able to use your discount on this project...making the kits 
$22.45 each month. Book price is $29.95...wow price is 26.95. We have about 12 of the blocks up at the shop....cute cute cute....to say the least!
