Another great week has happened at the shop - and the Shenanigans are still happening. Find shamrocks around the store to get a welcome surprise for your pocket book. Find a better one than the first one you found - take the better of the two to the register!

The Brown Bag Mystery first clue has been shared with the players. If you would like to play too - it is not too late. We can cut a kit especially for you. We have lots of options to choose from. We also have options for the practice project - Tea and Cookies if you want to join the party for a Piece of Cake!

UFO Challenge - Unfinished Objects - This months number is 12 for the month of March. Any one can play - look for the green text block to post your completed projects for this month!

Need help on a project? Call the store and reserve a spot for a private class - one on one - to help you through. 910-577-9200.

Are you familiar with Quilts of Valor? If you are not - check it out at www.qovf.org. We present quilts to veterans that have been nominated to receive a quilt. We had a great sew day Saturday - people dropped of quilts - and two were presented! Thanks again for all your help making the veterans smile!

Hand Sewing Group. We will meet on the first and third Thursday nights from 5 until 9 - next get together is April 4, 2024. This is not part of the store - just a group to get together to sew and fellowship. You can come for part or all of the time. No sewing machines - as that limits the amount of space available. You can cut or you can hand sew or crochet or knit - whatever you would like - or just come and visit a while. Everyone and anyone is invited to sew and fellowship.

Have you joined the fun with the Nine Patch a Day Group on Facebook with Karen Montgomery? Stay up to date with new gadgets and techniques that she presents each week.

I am a Sewposium Store - one of the stores that work with Karen Montgomery and the Nine Patch a Day Group on Facebook. Stay tuned the Brown Bag Mystery has started and is going strong! Over 3,000 Bags have been sold and it has only just started. We are making new bags all the time. I will post as I can and then comment sold when they are gone. Have a special request? I can make it happen! Come check out our Piece of Cake Mystery this week.

Classes are by appointments. Consultations can happen also by appointment - or reach us anytime on Facebook!

Practice social distancing

Please remember to stay a safe distance (at least 6 feet) from other customers. Let’s all be as safe as possible.

We are willing to walk things out to your car - or shop 24 hours a day 7 days a week in our on-line shop www.allaboutquilting.net!

Happy Place opportunities

We are trying very hard to follow the governors guidelines for safety in this our "happy place".

As I find new places for you to visit while stretching your legs I will post them here. But remember to check for yourselves and make sure the things are still happening - and because of the different rules in different areas - better to check than just show up and then be disappointed.
