Quilt Pink

The final push is on! The Pink will come down. For those of you who have visited the shop, you may have heard me grumbling about the excessive pink in my store at the moment. As most of you know since January, we have been diligently assembling blocks for this year's Komen Foundation/Quilt Pink online auction to raise fund for breast cancer research. This has required that I spend nine months staring at a wall of pink as it spreads throughout the entire store. In just a few more days it will all go away and be replaced by finished quilts!

If you want to participate in assembling quilts, or want to donate a block in a yet-to-be assembled quilt, you still have time. Patterns are available, and the final push to finish the quilts is coming.

Open handwork this month which is always the 2nd Monday from 6-8pm will be devoted to beginning the quilt top making process. Additionally, the shop will be closed September 27, 28, & 29 in order to prepare for the large all-day Quilt Pink quilting bee extravaganza. That day, door prizes, snacks, and your final opportunities to come with a friend to make a block in the shop will occur. In addition, all things pink in the entire store will be on sale! That's right: anything pink for sale in the store, must go!!! Not to worry, I will have pink fabric in the store after Quilt Pink, but perhaps not 35 bolts of it.

Plan ahead, mark your calendar, and bring a date anytime from 10am - 4pm on Saturday, September 30th.
