Summer is almost here--although it has felt like Summer the past few days. I have spent a good amount of time inside with the air conditioner and my applique. This is almost as good as a good Winter's day for getting some stitching time in. It really does take your mind off the heat outside.

Things were really busy at the shop this past week and so many of you have been busy getting ready for some big projects. Weddings, expectant births, etc. I know that a number of you have been taking advantage of the Anniversary Bucks. Another reminder if you haven't heard yet--every $50.00 on the cash register earns you a $5.00 Anniversary Buck. These bucks are good toward purchases during our Anniversary Sale the first week of July.

To all you Baltimore Album fans--we will be taking preorders for Elly's new book as well as the new fabric line. Stay tuned for more information. Also, Robyn Pandolph's new line will be arriving in August and we will also be taking preorders for that as well. A new page is coming to the web site to make ordering a little more convenient. A lot to keep your eye on.

Work continues on getting ready for Quilt Odyssey. Let me know if you are looking for transportation. I will try and get you in touch with people who are planning trips.

Come and see us soon. Barbara
