Important Dates

Leslie's Letter
How lovely to see flowers blooming again!  (It's almost fun frock season!)  Even some of the new fabrics are full of blossoms and I can tell from your reaction that you are happy to see them.  We're also seeing summer fabrics, including some adorable beach prints, complete with sea shells, sea gulls, and sand castles.  There's such a long wait between when I see and order the fabrics and when they come into the shop, that it's always a pleasant surprise to open the boxes.  For those of you who are anxious to get started, holiday prints will start arriving late May/early June.  Halloween will be a little earlier.

The Quilters' Quest seems such a long way off, but due to the number of queries we are getting, we wanted to give you a heads-up on our plans for a bus again this year.  The dates for the Quest are November 6-9, so time to plan ahead!  We anticipate a lot of request for the bus trip since everyone has such a great time last year.

We are also thinking ahead to Market Party scheduled for July 13.  Quilt Market is the third weekend in May and as soon as we get back, the staff will pick patterns and ideas from what we gather there and run home to our sewing rooms to begin making the new models.  It is becoming a most anticipated event and there will be food, door prizes, favors, demos and lots of new stuff for you to see and try.  You'll need a ticket to get in at noon.  Ask for your free ticket early as the number available is limited.  They will be available June 1st.  We will open to the public at 2pm that Sunday so only ticket holders will get in earlier and be eligible for prizes.  Please join us.

I hope you will have a happy and safe summer with lots of time to quilt and relax.

Happy Quilting,
