Pat's Train of Thought
 
School has started back in full swing and now maybe we have some FREE time to get sewing again.  Fall is just around the corner and what time is better than NOW to get started on those warm and colorful quilts and tablerunners.   We have shipments of patterns, books and fabric arriving daily it seems, so come by and see what's new.  
 
September is National Sewing Month so...  Let's get sewing.

Tips & Techniques
 
This tip from the queen of ripping out stitches. Using your seam ripper, rip every ten to twelve stitches on the top side.  Pull the bottom side thread out, leaving all those little threads in the seam.  Take a piece of masking tape and press along the seam and pull away, bringing all those tiny threads with it.  Saves alot of time.         
 
ALL ABOARD! 
Look what's comin' around the bend!!
