Hi Girls...Sharon here,
Strange, I know that I am visiting with you on a Wednesday, but we have been sooooo busy here at the Cottage that I haven't had time in the last two weeks to stand still long enough for a visit. And Melody and I are headed for Seward tomorrow for Quilt Nebraska 2013.
First off we would like to thank all of you who stopped by during our BEAT THE HEAT SALE!!!!!!! It was a fantastic event!!! Believe me when I say that it was the first time, other than Shop Hop week, I opened the door at 10:00 and saw a line waiting to get in!! WOW!! So again, "Thank you" for helping us to make some room for new fabric and kits.
Melody is teaching a wool class at the convention this weekend and we will, of course, have a booth. So today the project is to pack up. We will be stuffing every old suitcase and may just have to sit on them to get them closed J. We won't take everything though. There will be some left for those of you who come shopping in the next few days.
Speaking of that, Kif has been sooo busy in the basement kitting up wool projects for all of you. I think she wore the paint off the stairs yesterday bring up things for Ellen to get out on the shelves. And Ellen's grandson, Conner, even got in the action helping. What a nice young man. We sure did keep him busy. Thanks, Conner.
We started putting a new line of BEAUTIFUL civil war fabric called "Jubilee" out for you to see. You girls know that I am more of a bright person, so some of the warmer lines are not my fav, but this line has some beautiful blues, greens, golds and browns in it. I just might have to change my ways. We haven't gotten a sample made yet, but will be working on that next week. We also got in more of the colored plastic square totes if you have been waiting for one.
And the Christmas Crazy flannel line is just too cute...we brought it up and have it marked. Now we just have to move a few things around to get it displayed for all of you to see. I'm thinking the front porch........
For those of you interested in making the "Summer Pennies" BOM that will start in September, please let us know by August 10th. You can call, e-mail stop in and tell us. That way we will be sure to have one kitted up and ready for each of you when you come down for your "Woolie Girls" Saturdays. If you mentioned it to us before, please call so we don't miss anyone. Kif is working on those and just in case she needs to order more wool, she will know how much to ask for. If you would like to participate in this BOM, but don't sew with us here at the Cottage on a Saturday, call and we will get you signed up for a kit too.
We have a Sit and Sew coming up in a few weeks. The date is Wednesday, August 14th. We are going to do a Villa Rosa quilt again; they are soooo fun and easy. Just bring your machine, some thread and a smile. We will have your kits all cut for you so all you do is ---sit-and-sew. We will even be your pressers!!! A fun evening in the basement. Space is a little limited so call and sign up for this one.
Oh and don't forget that we have another "Ol' Bag Day" at the end of August too.
Did any of you try that recipe we shared?? If so, we hope you liked it. And if you have one to share, let me know. We are always into trying something new.
Well I guess I should get back to packing up the suitcases.
Hope you all have a great week!!!
Maybe we will see you in Seward.
Talk to you soon.
Sharon
P.S. For those of you who are "Web surfing shoppers" we are working on our site and it should be updated in the next few days with lots of new kits available. We'll keep you posted.
