Homespun Happenings
from The Calico Shoppe
May - August 2010
Can you believe how beautiful our SPRING has been? March and April were absolutely wonderful, and I am hoping May will bring much of the same. It’s so hard to keep on track with Spring Fever nipping at my heels, but there is quilting to be done!!! The UPS guy makes the task so much easier, as he delivers boxes of scrumptious fabrics weekly for us to play with. Each box is loaded with beauty, and tons of inspiration. Please stop in for your fix of fun, inspiration, and a little break from the garden (the weeds will be there tomorrow)!
We are all off to Quilt Market the third weekend in May! Hurray!!!!! The gals are so excited because they will all be able to spend a day or more (depending on their schedule) to see Market for themselves (it is oh so exciting). Market is in Minneapolis, making travel possible for everyone. Be sure to stop in to check out all of the terrific, exciting, wonderful and fun stuff we bring back!
Speaking of terrific, wonderful and fun… we now have a few new Christmas collections in the shop with more on the way! Shop early and start on your Holiday sewing!
For now, put your feet up, relax, and read through our newsletter. Exciting things are happening this summer at The Calico Shoppe!
Happy Quilting,
Lynn,
