Can you believe its 2010? 2009 FLEW by!!! Where does the time go?
Well, we have some exciting things planned for the shop this year and are in the midst of planning and creating now! Our BOM for 2009 is coming to an end this weekend and the 2010 BOM is starting. Remember you have a choice to pick up your block on Saturdays or Mondays. We have added a surprise this year, I think you'll be pleased. Make sure you don't leave the store without it, it will be at the counter when you're ready to check out : ) Here is a picture of the finished 2009 quilt put together by Anne!
Oh my Gosh what a great job she did putting this together, quite the challenge! Great Job Anne!!!!!Our new fabrics have started to trickle in and are out on the floor ready for your choosing! Here's a preview of some that have arrived......
In the coming weeks we will be putting together several new kits with exciting fabrics so be sure and look for them in the shop.
Our new 'secret' section I mentioned in an earlier post should be complete around the end of January....very exciting ; )
We are also adding another basic quilting class for those who want to make a baby quilt for expectanting mothers, more on that once the quilt top has been completed.
For those of you that sew apparel, we have added a new section with several colors of differnt size lace!
Our inventory is also in the midst of being restocked so please bare with us as it arrives in the coming weeks.
I also had mentioned a New Club starting this year. It will be held on the third Thursday of every month. What is it you ask?
IT IS A.....................
HANDBAG OF THE MONTH CLUB!!
"THE BAG-A-LICIOUS" CLUB!!
Each month a new pattern will be taught. Coordinating accessories and/or other types of accessories like cosmetic cases, curling iron bags, cell phone cases will also be offered as a class. Times/days for these will vary, Saturday classes will be offered. The cost of the Club is free when you purchase your fabric from the shop! Patterns WILL BE required. Sign ups start next week and the first bag will be displayed in the shop on Monday. The first class will be held on Thursday Jan 21 from 6-9pm. Handbags will be given levels of difficulty.
There are requirements for this club: (there always are, right?)
1. Prior sewing experience is required ...what is the definition of 'prior experience,' it means you have sewn recently (not 30 years ago) and you MUST know how to operate your machine. If you need a refresher course, we do offer a one on one class for 2 hrs and the cost is $20. Classes are held Tuesdays through Fridays 10-4. Appointments are required.
2. Basic sewing knowledge is required. If a specfic handbag is harder than another, you will be made aware of this prior to sign ups. Not all classes are for beginners.
3. Children are not allowed to wait in the store while mom attends class.
4. You must bring your own machine and basic sewing notions...pins, extra bobbins, rotary cutter.....if something special is required for class, I will make you aware of this prior to class.
If there is a specific bag that you and a group of your girlfriends would like to get together for, special arrangements can be made. Just call the shop and ask for Tiffany to make arrangements! We encourage girlfriend time!!
Well that's about it for right now!
All of us at The Velvet Stitch wish you a very bright and cheery new year and we always appreciate your business with us...See you soon at...
