Why We Sew

I just HAD to share this homework assignment done by my 8 year old niece, Sophia.

Sewing can make you happy. When you finish you can lie down with the quilt you made! Fist you need someone to instruct you. But when you are done with lessons, you're making spectacular quilts in a jiffy. Sewing is a calm thing to do.

Sewing can be fun! If you try doing a quilt you will be warm when you get it. And also when you're finished you can show your friends.

Sewing can be easy. Look at a picture of a quilt I made. It's easy.

Well, What do ya know!

The Clayton Family has some incredible genes. Sue Clayton, the mother of our first prize winner in the Stocking Challenge in Riverhead, was the winner of the Viewer's Choice award. Now these two can live peacefully under the same roof! Sue's work is incredible. Her stocking was beaded from head to toe. And the viewers loved it. Here's Sue accepting her BIG stocking full of quilters good stuff.

Wendy Won the Audrey!

Congratulations to Wendy Rottner, the winner of the Baby Lock Audrey machine. Now Wendy has a friend to take to class. Our Baby Lock Shower was a wonderful success. So many of you enjoyed coming in to test drive the new Baby Locks and make an adorable scissors keeper. You can make them for all your friends, now that you know how easy it is.

And again the generosity of our customers is just astounding. We collected lots of baby food, diapers and other great stuff for Island Harvest. They were VERY happy with your donations, including one wonderful quilter who hand crocheted TWO beautiful baby blankets. Island Harvest was just so happy to receive all this. Thanks so EVERYONE who participated.
