We all have them...Scraps.  Those bits left over from projects that we gather and keep because they are too precious and beautiful to toss away.  It’s time to release them from those assorted drawers, closets and ziplock baggies; bring them into the light of day, combine them, make them up and enjoy them!  Sometimes it is the unexpected combination of odd bits that make the most beautiful quilts!  Join Stash Bashers  from 10am-noon and in the words of previous generations, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”

We’ve been playing with chenille for the past little while and if you’d like to try it we’ve developed a small project that won’t take much time and the results are beautiful! All you need is a couple of hours to make this lovely Chenille Cushion on Friday, Sept 28 from 10-noon.  Class and kit $25

There's so much more than all of this at the store, see you soon!
