It's hard to believe that 2009
is just
around the
corner! I hope that each
of you had a very happy holiday.
If you haven't been to the Barn
lately, you need to come and see
our new classrooms and new
shelving units. We are
continually getting new
fabrics and patterns, and
we have added many new classes
to our schedule. Even
though we have twice the number
of shelves now for fabric, they
are filling up fast!
