Thimble Pleasures ~ A full-service quilt shop

Be sure to go to the Cotton Spice Workshop and see what is posted for workshop #7!  And don’t forget to leave comments, as Karen Gass, the editor of Cotton Spice will be giving prizes at the end of the two-weeks! Have fun and hope you find a project you like there.

Cotton Spice, an online quilting magazine is sponsoring a two-week long summer workshop that offers a new free quick project everyday. It started on July 21, just a few days ago, so you can click on the calendar on their site to see the projects  that have already been posted. I will be posting a project here and on their site on Sunday, July 27th. So be sure to check back! Click on the orange logo to go to the workshop.  ~Karen

 

 

We had another group of amazing young sewers in the store last week for our second week of camp.  Once again they had alot of fun and learned so much about sewing and knitting. Here they are with some of their many finished products. (and wearing the pajama bottoms they successfully made!)

Six campers spent the week here learning to sew with Kristy Taylor last week. They stayed busy sewing all morning and working with fibers at Yarns Etc, in the afternoon. They made pocket pillows, pillowcases, accessories, and a pair of pajama pants! Here they are at the end of the week with their finished products. Great job girls! Everybody seemed to have a great time.

  

Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!  We had alot of rain, so the fireworks were all postponed, but we are sure grateful for the rain. Well, the new Kaffe’s we promised are here, and we put them out in the store and on the web today.  Ooh, you vegetable and flower lovers, Kaffe has done it again. Plus, he has yummy small prints to go alongside the big flashy ones.  Also,  if you didn’t get the email, we put all blues, greens and purples on sale today. Come help make room on the shelves. There are boxes and boxes stacked up back in the classroom full of fabrics from spring market. The kids are here for sewing camp this week and the store is hopping. Come see us! (And check back cause I am still working on getting them uploaded to the web!)
