Countdown to FALL

Wow, September is almost here - just 4 days to go - the kids will be back to school on the 7th -
I'm happy in one respect because I get to walk my grandson to school everyday (I desperately need the exercise)  - my granddaughter on the other hand, is apparently too old for me to walk her and is going to  walk with one of her friends - I'm amazed at how much it's bothering me and how old it's making me feel!!
We're doing weird and wonderful things at the store - our second classroom is getting a face lift -
we're all working very hard but, I think Debbi is working the hardest - harder than I am for sure.

It is going to be an amazing classroom space.
The newsletter is ready for you to pick up - I've had to do a bit of tweaking to the schedule (I made a couple of mistakes - nothing new there) - so make sure you have a copy of the updated one.
Scroll on down the page - I've posted pictures of two beautiful pieces that our staff has made.
Keeping you in stitches,
Margaret

End of Summer

Summer is almost over, so unfortunately is our "Buy 7 fat quarters and get 3 FREE" Summer Special - the Saturday of the Labour Day weekend is the last day of the sale!  Don't miss this golden opportunity to build your stash!
Great news, I had someone work on my lap top for an hour and half today - doing something that Future Shop needed at least 2 days to do - and best of all, I didn't have to back up anything or worry about losing any of my files (my life) - so far so good - keep your fingers crossed!

Keeping you in stitches,

Fall Newsletter

Well, I have finally finished the newsletter and can now come up for air!!
You can pick up your copy starting Tuesday or download it from our web site - it should be posted by Wednesday.  I felt so good this morning that I started re-organizing - it seems like I'm constantly re-organizing!  I decided to hang a few things on my bedroom wall - I had the hammer but, no nails.  So, I went out into the garage, where my son-in-law keeps all his tools, to find one.  I was in there less than a minute when he followed me in - he doesn't think its safe for me to be in there, especially alone!  Imagine!!  As soon as he said that, I stepped back and almost broke my right heel on something that I was unaware of behind me,  making me drop something.  When I leaned over to pick it up I smacked my forehead on the the shop vac.  I admit it was right in front of me and big enough to be noticed, but, I didn't.  Glenn suggested that I go back into the house, which I did and promptly slammed the door in his face - how was I to know he was following me out!  
Keeping you in stitches, Margaret

Ruby Launch

I have to tell you that everyone at the store wore red and white in honour of the Ruby - at my suggestion - the only person who didn't wear red and white was me.  I had to borrow Doreen's scarf!!  I am in big doo, doo!!
Keeping you in stitches,

Ruby Launch

Well we had a great time at the Ruby Launch Party.  Doreen Teasdale from Husqvarna Viking did an amazing demonstration of the machine last night.  Today she graciously showed a number of us just how easy the new 5D software is to use.  All in all it was lots of fun and inspirational.

I didn't get a chance to tell you what a great job Debbi did with Kids Camp last week - I've attached a picture of them holding up their pillowcases and wearing everything else they made - Debbi had trouble keeping up with them - they each made a pillowcase, bag, PJ pants and oven mitts.
