Mt. Pleasant Quilting Company November and December 2018 Newsletter Dear Quilters, November really snuck up on me...did it to you also?...anyway here is the newsletter listing the classes for November and December. You will be able to see which are the new classes and the ongoing ones. You can read about our Holiday Extravaganza Open House which will be on Saturday, November 17th, from 10:00-3:00. I haven't counted up yet the number of projects the elves are working on for you to see, but I will let you know before the big day arrives. I hope you will receive some inspiration that day and of course an enjoyable time! (If you happen to make a purchase, you will be able to sneak your bags in the house while your hubby is hunting as it's the first day of deer hunting season!!!) We are always closed Sundays and Mondays- additional closings are Thursday, Nov. 22nd, and Tuesday, Dec. 25th, Wednesday, Dec. 26th and Tuesday, January 1st. Enjoy our extended fall temperatures!

Hand Embroidery Club ONGOING & NEW CLASS 2nd Thursday of the month, 10:00-3:00 You asked, we listened, we took action. Many of you enthusiastically expressed an interest in having a hand embroidery club, much like our Sew Along Days, when you can come and work on your own embroidery projects. Well, you've got it! Mary Lane has agreed to be the leader. This is not a teaching class and is targeted to those who have basic embroidery skills. So, choose your dates, sign up, come along with your embroidery project and enjoy a day of stitching, a gab fest (probably) and laughter, I'm sure!

Pleasant has been teaching the beautiful McKenna Ryan wallhangings for years.

This doesn't phase Pat at all as she can multi-task and help each person no matter what stage they're at. If you've always wanted to try the fusible appliqué technique, choose a McKenna Ryan or any other fusible appliqué pattern that you love and sign up for class Teacher: Pat Lockwood Monthly Class Fee: $7.50 Around We Go Thursday, Nov. 15th Holiday Extravaganza Saturday, Nov. 17th 10:00-3:00 Read all about this event in the Special Events Section.
