My is it hot!

Quilt Spree 2010

Mark your calendar for our Preview Party here at the shop on Wednesday, July 21. Watch for more details, but here's a brief preview of the preview . . .

we will enjoy tasty treats and work on make it-take it project(s), of course, great fellowship.  It's important to get "geared up" for this great annual event.

Are you planning of going on the shop hop? If you don't want to do all that driving and spend your important fabric $$ on gas and food, the make sure you contact the shop SOON to sign up for the bus trip.  What is that logo we heard so much on TV ads? "Sit back and leave the driving to us?" Sounds like a great idea to me!
