National Quilting Month is here!

Well, February just slipped right past me. Can you believe that it's already March? And with March comes National Quilting Month. Which means we are busy. We just completed the Lebanon Quilt Show at the Warren County History Museum. As usual it was super fun. We love that show. It's got tons of friendly vendors that we look forward to seeing every year and then there are always wonderful quilts on display. Plus, since it's at the museum there are other things that kids and husbands can check out if the quilts are not their thing.

Now that we've made it through Lebanon it's on to Quilter's Day Out in Lexington and the Anita Goodesign event in Centerville. Both are going to be wonderful events and will make for a crazy weekend. If you are in Lexington on Saturday March 19th come out to the Fayette County Extension office for a day of celebrating being a quilter. And if you are signed up for the Anita Good event, we are going to have a fun filled two days of embroidery. For those of you traveling to the event and need a place to rest your head, check out the Country Inn & Suites. It's right down the street from where the event will be held.

Finally as March comes to an end we will be getting ready for the International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati. This is the show that is usually held in Chicago. We will be the PFAFF vendor for the event and are very excited to be there. If you take any of the classes you might get the opportunity to test drive the Quilt Expression 4.0. If you're coming to the Quilt Festival make sure to come see us.

With all these exciting events going on away from the stores don't forget about all of the wonderful classes going on at all the stores. We are working on the new class schedule for April-August. It will be a fun filled summer full of exciting classes at your located Sew-A-Lot.

The Days Look Brighter Now

Hello Everyone... Sorry I've been MIA. I came down with a nasty head cold that took it out of me. In fact, it seemed everyone around me came down with something unpleasant in the last week and a half. My poor sister had a sick kid which was miserable and of course she has now gotten it. Ms. Nancy woke up Sunday night with terrible back spasms so bad she thought she was going to have to go to the ER. My poor friend Sharon had the flu and was house bond for a week. So hopefully with the sun coming out and the warm weather making it our way the sicknesses will move on their merry way.

Class Changes in Lexington

We have added a new class to our roster just in time for Valentine's Day. Join Nancy Saturday February 12th from 2pm-5pm for this cute applique project from Nancy Halvorsen's new book Count On It. Our Nancy will teach you basic applique technique or if you already know applique technique just come and have a giggle with the girls. Any class with Nancy is a guaranteed good time! The class fee of $30 will include fabric, interfacing, and thread.

For those of you just learning to sew, we've added another section of Sewing 101 Thursday February 10th & 17th 6p-8p. There are still a couple of spots left so call soon and sign up.

Nancy also has a daytime Quilting Fundamentals on the schedule Mondays Feb 7, 14, 21, & 28. In this class you will learn all there is to know about making a quilting from beginning to end. The class was originally scheduled 1p-4p but has been changed to 10a-1p. Perfect for moms whose kids are in school. There are still a few spots available. Just call us and we'll get you signed up! 859-264-7472
