Country Traditions3rd Quarter: FALL- 2011 Edition
Newsletter
“Ah, Can you feel it!?! Fall is in the Air!
The dog days of summer are upon us! Soon the kids will be heading back to school and the crisp cool autumn air will be here! Ah! Fall!
Fall is our favorite time of the year! Crisp leaves, pumpkins to carve, football games to attend, and with the kids back in school, we have time to be creative! So, dust off the machines and let the quilting begin!
We have the shop packed full of wonderful designs, ideas, and projects to inspire the creative juices. Celebrating this year’s harvest is going to be easy with all the wonderful fall and holiday fabrics arriving at the shop. Flip through the next couple of pages to see all that is arriving and then hurry in to check it out.
Cathy and I found some of the “spookiest” and “funniest” Halloween Gift and Home Decor items at Spring Gift Market, as well as beautiful lace & felt runners, plaques, flowers, pumpkins, and all things fall to bring that perfect harvest feeling into our homes. It has been hard to wait, so many months that we could decorate with all the “fall bounty” we found. Of course, we have our “Fall” event plans, packed with many exciting classes and activities that you are not going to want to miss a one! Have you signed up to join in our Quilts of Valor Sewing Workshop and reserved your seat for the Fall Shop Hop on Wheels Bus Tour yet? Have you marked your calendar for the Fall “Long-Arm” Retreat? It’s time to make plans, and Treat your self! It’s the fall thing to do. Gather your friends for a visit or register on line. We look forward to seeing you!
