(Thursday evening...)

Well, we've just about fluffed everything in the shop at least once...just a few more things to hang and move quickly tomorrow and we'll be ready for open house!
(Thank heavens it's not bad winter weather around here...our main gas pack heater decided to 
quit running today...(and before anyone asks....yes, I checked to make sure we had plenty of gas
in the tank!). The A/C guy is due out there tomorrow to see what's going on with that! Thank heavens for those 60's temperatures this weekend!

I snapped just a few "tease" shots of some of our spring goodies...lots of wonderful bunnies from Arnett's Country Store and our own Vickie Wallace! Beautiful cross stitch pieces from
Mimi and Sherry...plus much more!
Here's just a peek...

      

 
Lots of new kits and models up in the wool room, and tons of new OOP (out of print)
fat quarters and 1 yard cuts up in the classroom! ($1.25 for the fat quarters and $5 for the yard cuts!)  Make sure when you come in that you visit upstairs to see what's new!

Many of the new cross stitch patterns have arrived in time for the weekend's 
festivities....woohoo!! 

*******

We also have new class models to debut...
Sabrina Thompson will be doing a "Crazy about Spring" pincushion class
and
Sharon Reilly will be doing a great beginner class on applique called 
"Orange Peel Table Shawl"
here's a picture of her quilt...it's now hanging in the shop and I'll have all the 
information over on our class schedule sometime tomorrow!

 Ok yall...that's it for this week's update!
 We hope you get to come see us this weekend!

Oh, almost forgot....Civil War BOM Meeting this
