I hope you had the best season ever, filled with that special joy that only quality time with family and friends can bring us. Of course, all the extra food doesn't hurt either.until I get on the scale! I also love seeing the holiday season in the rearview mirror. It's a bit of a relief to get back to a normal routine.although for me, it doesn't really feel "normal" until inventory and its related work is finished. And inventory time for us is savings time for you! Come in on January 1 for deals on fabric and more. What a good time to start your next project! Don't be left out! Join us for our casual social sew-ins. Angela hosts a needleturn applique day every 3rd Wednesday, and Patty hosts a wool applique day every 2nd Tuesday.
