Christmas in July Sales Event runs Wed. - Sat.


Spent the day putting up Christmas decorations for our Christmas in July Sales
Event that starts Wednesday and runs through Saturday. I felt like I was back in
California, wearing flip flops and getting my Christmas tree in 80 degree
weather!

Come check out our great Christmas fabrics (as well as Fall and Halloween) and
draw your discount to see if you've won a free fat quarter, 20% off a holiday
kit, a free class or one of our other holiday deals.  Thursday, during our
Stitchery Clubs we'll be showing you our new holiday hand embroidery and wool
projects.  Also, if you'd like to learn how to embroider, we'll have a basic how
to class.

Saturday will be Demo Day - At 11:00am I'll show you how to make Christmas cards
with our new software and your embroidery machine.  1pm will be a how-to on
fusible applique, used in many of our Christmas projects and at 3pm, I'll show
you how to use the popular and addicting Twister ruler to make great gifts.


I'm not sure if Santa will be stopping by, but his reindeer have been busy
making cookies for our fun event and the Christmas music will be blaring!

See you there,
Cindy

Vending at Ankeny Quilt Show

Wow,
Had my first taste of how much work it is to set up a booth for vending!  I'm going to have to get more organized and have a better plan if I'm ever going to get good at this.  The bright side is the great projects and beautiful yarns I took will make up for my lack of experience in booth design. Stop by the booth to say hi! and pick up a coupon to use at the store. Show hours are Fri. 9-6 and Sat. 9-4 at Faith Baptist Bible College
