Hello Sewing friends!!!

We have some BIG…BIG news!!!

We are now part of the Virginia Longarm Network and have just received our first baby demo machine. She is an 18” hand guided longarm machine. Valerie and her crew will be in our store tomorrow to give the staff all the tech support they need to give you more options with your quilting!!

Stop by any time for a test drive!!!


For all of you that have taken a quilt class with Venitta over the past three years you are invited to join her for a show-n-tell on December 3. This is YOUR opportunity to ask any questions you may have to finish up you quilts and to show off what you have already done. There is no charge and we would LOVE for all of you to stop by anytime between 9:30am and 12pm. Please make sure you give us a call so we know how many will be attending.

Venitta will be back in Richmond on January 7, 2012 for a fabulous class you won’t want to miss:

This is the Technique Class to learn/practice multi-hooping –concentrating on ACCURATE PLACMENT using several hooping techniques including hooping fabric with stabilizer, with stabilizer in the hoop, with a thumb tack board, with the Master Hooper™, with registration marks and directional hooping. This project can be finished as a pillow, wall hanging, or table topper. Finishing techniques will be demonstrated including using a variety of threads, decorative stitches on your machine, and quilting in the hoop.
With this quick and easy set of 6 designs you will learn ALL the hooping skills you need for any size projects (embroidered quilts, jacket backs, linens, embroidered scenes, etc.)
