Today was the first session of Camp Thimbleberries and we had the best time!!!! Fun and Laughter was certainly the theme of this new event for the shop and everyone loved the pattern, the fabric and the food. I offered guidance and assistance with "unsewing" and prepared the food. We will have one more session to enjoy each other's company and there is talk about planning more of these Sunday get togethers. You might want to check this out in the future.

The new mesh fabric has been very popular. We have several copies of the bag pattern from last year and the mesh to make these great beach or pool bags. As Gina says, it is easy to make several of these goodies at one time and they make great gifts.

As I mentioned in our last blog--we are offering Anniversary Bucks on purchases from now until the first of July. Here is how it works=== everytime you shop between now and the first of July and for every fifty dollars on the cash register, you will receive a $5.00 Anniversary Buck. These "bucks" are good on all your purchases during our Anniversary Sale the first week of July. We are planning a fun time to celebrate our Fifth Anniversary. All during the sale we will be playing Anniversary Games, giving away door prizes and enjoying a momentous occasion.

The new panel from Sandy Gervais is delightful and the fabrics that go with it are so different. New books and patterns have arrived from Kansas City Star. These were new at Market and have just been shipped. You might have seen these titles advertised in magazines. Kansas City Star publications are always beautiful and a great addition to any collection.

In addition to everything else, work continues for our trip to Quilt Odyssey. If you have an interest to attend this show and need transportation, there are several bus trips and you can get information on contact people from the shop.

If you can't come in, call and we can prepare your order over the phone and ship directly to you.


Come see us soon--Barbara
