By doing that video we have been given the opportunity to participate in Jaftex Fabrics sewing machine giveaway! We need your help to do this. We are looking for someone who has suffered a significant loss through fire, flood, illness, death or tragedy and to whom a sewing machine would be a life changer. Jaftex has provided the brand-new sewing machine, Olfa has donated a cutting mat & rotary cutter, and Aurafil has provided thread to be given to this person. And some additional items will be put together from the Shop. We all know how therapeutic the craft of quilting/sewing can be. If you know of someone in such a position and would like to “nominate” them, please contact us. ****************** ANNUAL SPRING BUS SHOP HOP Saturday/Sunday, April 18 & 19, 2020 Join us for a fun filled trip!
