10/14/2019 0 Comments October 14th, 2019A Dull Moment If you're noticing that your rotary cutter blade isn't cutting all the way through the fabrics. It may be time for a new blade. But it may also be time to clean your cutting mat!
A little soap and water usually does just fine. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals that may contain alcohol or ammonia.

We looked at dozens of places. In todays market our prospects were slim. In April 2017 we finally found property acceptable to live in, have a sewing studio and small machine shop. But the man needed a larger one also, so three months later concrete was poured and we anxiously await the walls and roof to be erected. Woohoo. Soon I will be announcing the opening of the Sewing Studio for sewing, quilting and embroidery classes. And yes we are throwing in the scan n cut classes. Picture of studio transforming so check back often for updates and the new class schedule.  10/24/2016 3 Comments October 24th, 2016A cool and crisp fall
Projects, Classes and sewing gifts has filled the last couple months.
There are still many projects to complete, and always will be. Love my life. A cool and crisp fall. My teaching classes will begin this week. This weeks class will be providing machines to those who either do not have a embroidery machine or are in the market for purchase but not sure which to buy. Or attendees can bring their own machine if they prefer. Beginning sewing classes and classes to become familiar with sewing, embroidery, serger, and cover stitch will also be available. 9/17/2016 8 Comments September 17th, 2016In the blink of an eye. It seems I am living in a time warp. In the blink of an eye and another year has gone by. Someone hasn't been posting updates and now I do not know what I have done this last year. Oh, wait that was me. Ok girls, I must confess, it has been a most unusual year so far. Last year ended in us beginning to move our shops, office and home. We finally finished March 23, this year. A lot of packing and unpacking. You should have been with me in my sewing room. I looked around and said "Who does all this fabric belong to?". Hee hee. Yes, it is all mine. I'm sure I must have won some kind of contest for most fabric. I do love my new studio, its small and cute. I can maybe teach a couple students at a time and I look forward to my first students this fall. Now that I'm settled in keep coming back and check for updates Here are a few pictures of the past few month.
