Let the Classes Begin!

The first week in January started with a flurry, literally. It snowed all day Monday, January 4th. I love it when it snows flakes as big if not bigger than a quarter. Tuesday started out the week with our new applique class and Martha's new Brown Bag class. Those ladies are just delightful that come in for those classes. Tuesdays also brings a group of ladies known as the Threaders. They hand sew, share projects, visit and someone always brings some delicious treat to have with a cup of tea or coffee. Today is Friday, January 8th and I'm going to Feathered Star class. Let me tell you, it's precision at the highest level and it is absolutely stunning. It just feels so great to stand back and admire each star after it's completed. The third Thursday of this month we kick off the new Thimbleberries club. We've got lots of ladies returning and some very fun new members. Girl's Night Out starts next Wednesdays, January 13th from 6-8 PM and we've got lots of interesting things planned for the year and Wednesday January 20th is our UFO night each month. Drop in, share a bite for dinner and work on one of those projects that just needs to be finished. It's going to be a great year at the shop. Watch for a couple of new clubs to start in February, Minnesota Road is happening again in March with all new teachers and have we got bus trip ideas....the bus trip to the Sewing Expo is full, but we do have a waiting list. So please come in and see us and maybe even sign-up for a class or two

PS. I just finished the book Rainwater by Sandra Brown. It's was such a good book and a completely different type of book than her usual romance style. I just discovered a series of light mysteries by Monica Ferris and they center around a needlecraft shop. The first one is titled Crewel World. I'll let you know what I think.
