Back to School… Not Just for Kids!

Hopefully you’ve had a wonderful summer and ready to settle into fall’s routine. With the kids back in school, now you can take a class to make something for yourself or for a gift.

Aunt Grace’s Circle of Friends Block-of-the Month Program is now available! Register now for this seven month event. Classes will be offered beginning in October.

This month’s purse classes include The Cookie Smart Handbag where you make a basic bag with many exchangeable flaps and the Kwik Scrappy Wallet. You can check the website or stop in to see the display examples. 

Our quilt class this month is a quick one to put together. The Big Block Quilt is all about the fabric. A great way to use fat quarters, big prints, medium prints, seasonal fabrics, etc. The shop display by Janet House is made with fall fabrics (also pictured on the website).

Several demonstrations are being offered this month as well. During Ladybug’s Club ($10), you can see how to construct your own cloth gift bags. Then on Fat Quarter Friday (the 10th), make plans to be here for one of the free demo sessions given by Dottie Vester for her design of a Fat Quarter Bag. The pattern will be offered free with the purchase of three fat quarters. Please register early for these demos.

Don’t forget to register or schedule time for our regular monthly events: Sit & Sew Club, Kids Club, Craft Club, Ladybug Shopping Bag Days, Guild Discount Days,  Project Friday Presents.

Refer to our website for dates, times and details for all our events. We look forward to seeing you this month. Take time to sew and be happy!

Pillowcase Sewing Saturday News

Thanks to all of you who have donated pillowcases for the One Million Pillowcase Challenge. To date we have donated 99 pillowcases. Following is an excerpt from an email message from Julie Tucker with ConKerr Cancer who collects our pillowcases:

“Thank you all….  We could not provide these fun pillowcases without your help and support. Conkerr Cancer is now working with UNC's Cancer Hospital, Duke's Children's Hospital and The Ronald McDonald House…. These pillowcases not only provide smiles to sick children, they provide comfort to these children and their families while they are facing some of the toughest times of their lives.”

Help keep our donations up by joining us for our Pillowcase Sewing Saturday after noon on September 11. Feel free to make yours at home and drop them off if you’re not able to join us for our workshops.

Sewing Lessons

I have had requests for sewing lessons. My reply is that I don’t teach by the book but by sharing my sewing skills with you. I suggest you choose a project to make and I will work with you to help you achieve your projected goal. My rates are the same as for our Project Friday, $10 for the first hour and $5 for each additional hour. Our monthly calendar is posted on the website for getting an idea for the best scheduling times. If interested, contact Joyce to schedule your sewing lesson.
