Really January 6th was the last time I posted anything - that is just hard to believe but in any event I have some catching up to do.
So many of you might remember that in January I went to England to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. We had a lovely time - ate a lot of cake and even saw the snow there!
I also wanted to show you a town hall in Tenterden, where my parents live, and where my grandparents were married perhaps about 80 years ago!

Inventory is complete!!! ...the store is back looking neat and tidy and do we have some wonderful new projects! Come and see them when you can!
I am thinking that you might have been a little bit nervous that you had not seen any pictures, nor heard a word from us from before inventory?? as I did say that I would post if we were having a good time while counting all the things in the store..... well for some reason I lost control of my blogosphere and could not remember my password and so without my trusty wing girl (Andrea is on vacation ) I could not figure out how to hack into the blog.Today miraculously, I touched something on the key board and bingo the door opened and in I came.. whatever... .............
So here we are:
| Head down and counting folds on that bolt...this was before lunch when blood sugar was still at a reasonable level... |
| Helen - as always ready with a laugh and see how far around the sore she had gone.. Lynnae was there but elusive when I brought out the camera.. | ... |

Merry Christmas! Seasons Greetings! Happy Holidays!
What a wonderful time - I am sitting up in my sewing room watching the snow come down by the street light outside. Everything is still and it is very quiet. I have those wonderful dogs snoozing in various parts of the room and all is still. I have been stitching on some of my last gifts and then just the wrapping of presents is all that is left. I hope that all of you can grab a few minutes to enjoy the quiet during this busy and sometimes stressful time of the year.
To remind you of just a couple of things.. We will be closed on Sunday the 23rd and then the 24th and 25th but will fling the doors wide open on the 26th with some wonderful goodies on sale.. I am not sure what that will be yet but I have time... If you have an emergency on the 24th I will be in the store I am sure in the morning.. sorting through something or another!!!!!
And now to share some of the wonderful things that our club members have been doing this past month. In our English Paper Piecing Club meeting we saw this wonderful Southern Star quilt. Pictures seldom do our quilts justice and this picture may be like that but the colours and their combinations were magnificent.
Our Small Quilt Club (session 1) finished their first projects in good time - and as you can see below each one had its own character based on fabric selections. The shop model is up and kitted if you are unable to make the sewins but would like to be a part of this group. The second session almost made it!!! some were finished but not quilted and bound - I am sure next month they will be the first to finish!!!
We also had a challenge out to the embroidery club to make this sampler before December 31st. and those samplers are coming in fast and furious.. so what you will see is their samplers in the store and you will need to vote on the one you like the best during the month of January!The one with the most votes will win a gift certificate! So look out for them in January and if you would like to be a part of the next challenge let us know.

Good morning everyone- we have been moving the store samples around and having fun with the new models we have.... And as we were doing this we found two complete kits of the generals wives quilt!
