Our "Quilt Camp" group took some time off to pose for a quick photo.
Melissa is displaying an autograph sampler she was presented by the
group. What a great weekend! I am always amazed by just how much sewing and projects you can finish when sewing is your priority. Quilt camp has become a
gathering of friends. We get together twice a year and we are
now as comfortable with each other as a group can be. We share
inspiration, ideas, projects and plans. More importantly though
we share stories, laughter, support and wine. We look forward to February when the group will gather again.
In the shop we are in full Autumn swing. There is something about the fabrics of Fall that speak to all of us. Those rich reds, brillant oranges, multi-colored greens and deep golds. They are simply everyone's colors.
I hope you have marked your calenders for the "Fat Quarter Scramble" it is coming up November 17th. Call the shop for details. Also looking ahead: Our Thanksgiving weekend Sale, Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th.
Again this year we support "National Tie-one On Day". November 21st. Make your favorite apron (we have many patterns in the shop for inspiration), bake a loaf of bread, wrap in the apron along with an inspirational poem handed out at the shop. Deliver to someone you know, thats needs a little support, understanding and love. If you have much to be thank-ful for, pass it along.
I must stop for now but will be back later today. I have a very important person to introduce to you. My new grand-daughter Mallory.
Till next time!
Formerly, a quilt shop in northern Minnesota, Seams Like Home Quilt Shop has closed it's brick and mortar doors in April 2011. But quilting and crafting remain a large part of my life, giving me a creative outlet for relaxation and friendship. One of the clubs that was started in my shop has now evolved into a group of friends that meet each month. I don't want to call it a "quilt club," because I think it is more than that...I hope to continue that feeling in this blog.
