Homespun Happenings
from The Calico Shoppe
January - April 2010
2009 was our year of encouraging you to use up your stash of fabrics, which from all accounts has proven to be quite successful. Your stash of fabrics has become smaller and your piles of unfinished projects has become manageable! Good for you! Our message was heard and taken to heart. It is a great feeling using up some of our stash and getting those projects finished. We are now into 2010 and with the new year comes a new challenge…
“2010 THE YEAR OF CREATIVITY“ Let your mind wander and your passion for creating go WILD! Work outside your box, try that new technique you have been dieing to explore. Work in a color palette which is not your norm. Try some of the new contemporary fabrics, or grab some civil war prints,or 30’s fabrics. The possibilities are endless. Let yourself go on a quilting adventure during 2010. To help you with that creativity we have scheduled some terrific classes and outstanding BOM (block of the month) projects. Relax, put your feet up and enjoy browsing the newsletter. Then stop in to get a first hand look at the new and exciting fabrics that are coming in and the wonderful samples for the up coming classes and events!!
See you soon and Happy Quilting!
Lynn,

Make a Pillowcase, Make a Difference
We have joined American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine to help them collect 1 million pillowcases in 2010.
A pillowcase can provide comfort for a cancer patient, hope for a foster child, or encouragement for a battered woman.
The best part is that all of the pillowcases we collect will be given to charities in the Eau Claire area. To date we have collected over 40 pillowcases!!! Let’s keep up the good work. We will be collecting them through the month of June.
Saturday, February 27th, from 10:00 - 4:00,
we are having a pillowcase sew in. Bring your supplies and sew pillowcases for a wonderful cause. There is no fee, just come and have fun!Please register early, space is limited!
