Hello Everyone!
Thanks so much to all who attended my BIG Sale last Saturday. We really cleared out a lot of fabric and I am looking forward to beautiful new fabrics soon. The moment the fabrics arrive, I will properly introduce you to them. I have a bunch of bolt ends and have been busy creating a remnant area in the shop. Stiop by soon and check that out.
We have a new revised Class Schedule for February, March, and April thanks to Gina. Check it out and give me a call to reserve your spot - 336.779.6155. It's time to start sewing!
