It seems that we
are getting a taste of spring now - though we can still
rightly claim
that our two seasons are winter and construction. Given
that weekends
now seem better spent outdoors, after May 24th, Quilt
Play will be
closed on Sundays. Well, on most Sundays - we will be open
the last Sunday
of each month for shopping downstairs and an informal
sit n sew
upstairs. Bring along a hand sewing project, a work in progress,
show and tell -
whatever you would like.
If you are
coming in from out of town, have out of town guests, or a
quilting
emergency, call the store during regular hours, and we can
almost surely
work something out if Sunday is your only chance to stop
by.
Summer hours:
Monday -
Saturday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
*Wednesdays open
until 7:00pm*

Sit N Sew Sundays
Join
us upstairs in the class room area on May
24th,
June 28th, July 26th, and August 30th for an informal
Sit n Sew session. Please let us know in advance
if you
have a specific quilting question and we will plan to
address it on those days. Bring along a project to work on. If
you'd like,
bring some bits from your stash that you aren't sure you love
anymore
and adopt them out to a good home with a fellow quilter.

Now that the weather is creeping into the
80s, guess what kind of
fabric has sneaked in already? Um, yes, I'll admit it...
Christmas! For
those of us who think anything over 75F is really overdoing it, think
snow with Henry Glass's line of snowfolk and coordinates called "More
Holiday Spirit." Ten bolts arrived on Friday, joining Moda's charm
packs and jelly rolls from "Glace.'"
Remember, long arm quilting deadlines for Christmas delivery can
come as early as September 1st, so stop in for the best selection and
to
give yourself plenty of time to complete holiday gifts.
We also have an adorable new line of baby flannels called "Clothesline
Kids" - it has a cute panel that is perfect for pairing with any of the
many fabrics in the line to create handy little burp cloths edged with
jumbo rickrack in coordinating colors.

One more thing - if you see a
cool new notion in a magazine or online,
stop in and ask or give us a call. I place notions orders weekly, and I
am
happy to look for that nifty new toy you need. In some cases, I may
already have what you are looking for - Triangulations cds, for
example,
are kept behind the counter, as are a small stash of Organ needles - so
just ask!
Sincerely,
Shelley MacGregor
