Jan, Kathie and Lucille are quilting away the hours at the Sewing Basket's Semi-Annual Retreat at Gardom Lake and Cheryl and Jill are holding down the fort at the shop. And they have been busy, busy, busy.
Five boxes of freight arrived just today and we now have a selection of Christmas buttons that is just too cute! Snowmen, snowflakes, candy canes galore, plus beautiful hearts and Old-World style buttons that will add just the perfect touch to those holiday projects. And, yarn.....
After a busy afternoon of unpacking, we have filled the shelves again - in fact, we were so busy in the yarn department today Cheryl had to keep stepping out to make room for the customers. It seems people are knitting more than ever and the word has got out that we have the best selection of yarn in Salmon Arm!
And here's a picture of our new yarn kits. Everything you need is in the kit - needles, pattern, yarn and buttons or zippers and zipper pulls - no need to go searching for those special finishing touches as they are already all put together in an easy-pack tote.
The classroom is empty tomorrow and we have a number of people who intend to come for an hour or two or three to finish up projects from previous classes. We love having you stop by to show us what you have been doing, or making use of the classroom when it is free. It is a wonderful space and we are happy to share it with you when it is free. And, it is always entertaining!
So be sure to come in, and "sit a spell"!
