We are now a drop off location for standard size pillowcases for children of all ages - even teenagers. All pillowcases dropped at our location will be kept within the area at Rainbow Babies Children's Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, and Akron Children's Hospital. Instructions to make a standard size pillowcase can either be picked up at our shop or found online at ConKerr Cancer's How To Help page. Unfortunately pillowcases are always needed, but remember that donations will be taken from now until forever.
What we will do for all of our generous customers and neighbors is this - for each donation made to the shop we will put your name into a drawing. Monthly we will pull a name and donate a $25 gift certificate to one lucky person. If you would like to donate but don't have the time to sew, other donations can be make to ConKerr Cancer if you visit their website by clicking here. Also, not all pillowcases have to be sewn. No sew polar fleece pillowcase instructions can be found on their website here. For more information stop in and pick up a brochure or visit the ConKerr Cancer website here.
Moving on... or moving around. On our last post we showed a glimpse into how the store layout was changing. We've continued that slightly and here's another sneek peek. It's still a work in progress, but come in and let us know what you think. I was told by a little bird there might even be goodies and coffee for taste testing in the near future!
Since we have moved the store around a bit the classroom is no longer where it was and it's purpose has changed into more of a multi purpose room. We're still going to have classes but it now has a really comfy chair and ottoman, a rocker, and a beautiful antique hoosier cabinet in it too. What we are planning to do since we are here six days a week and we understand life happens and schedules get hectic, our space is open to you. What I mean is this - If you and a friend want to come and just sew your hearts out in our space, call us and reserve the spot. If you are having a hard time with a technique or just want to sew with other people around, come on in! Or if you are interested in a class but your schedule just can't fit it in, call us and we can sit with you one on one. We understand sometimes space can be a premium that your house doesn't allow or another opinion can make you feel at ease. Come join us and just have fun!
We are getting ready to begin our Fall Show Extravaganza! We are at several shows in the upcoming weeks - here, there and everywhere! For an updated list of the shows we will be attending as well as directions and other vital information, visit our website On The Road page. If you have any other questions about where to stay eat or other attractions to see, call us or e-mail us and we will try our best to help you out.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention - the details are still being worked out, but we are part of the Stepping Out Quilt Tour (Shop Hop) next month. It will run from October 12th through October 31st, three solid weeks to visit 13 different shops across Northern Ohio. More details will come soon, I promise. If you have any questions, check back soon and if that doesn't help give us a call!
We hope you all had a nice holiday weekend and you'll stop in and say hi! Come see us and the wonderful new things we have in store for you. And let me tell you, we have many new and wonderful things in store. Just this afternoon 23 delicious bolts arrived of batiks and Girl Scout Fabric. I will take pictures of those and other goodies that arrived last week and post them all here soon. If you can't wait, just stop in and see them for yourself! Gotta go, happy quilting!
That is a great cause!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can come out to see the new shop layout!
