Good morning everyone! It's a glorious day.

I have a message for you from Phoenix
"Spa day for sewing machines! Bring your sewing machine to Sue's Quilt Shop on Sat July 25th from 1-4. Need a quick fix adjustment I offer 30 Min Quick Fix appointments ($50).

Need a little more attention? Drop off your sewing machine with me for a full-service cleaning, l**e and tune-up ($120).

As a bonus, I'll also have a few beautifully refurbished vintage machines available for sale. I do not yet work on Berninas. Feel free to stop and ask questions regarding sewing machine maintenance."

Stop in and see her if you are in the area.

Have a great day!

Good morning all! Happy anniversary to the shop!

It's hard to believe it's been 7 years since opening day. Starting the day with fabric on tables since the shelving had not come in yet seems like a lifetime ago.

As most of you know there have been and will continue to be hard times but the good far out pass the bad. I count my blessing. The people I have met and are now friends with. Seeing a 7 year old student go from that first joy is sewing to now (at 10) to doing young entrepreneur craft fair. Watching the joy on an 80 year old student remembering the joy of sewing after 50 years of not sewing. Everyone who comes in and leaves inspired (This means I've done my job). The list goes on and on but my biggest blessing is the fact I get to live out my passion every day.

I started the day crying and said I would not do it again today but as I write this the tears flow again. Don't worry, they are a mixture of happy and sad. As many of you who have known me for a long time know my mom (also my guardian angel) left this world 19 years ago today. So as you see my life changed 19 years ago and then 7 years ago.

The shop will be open on the 4th. More because I will be here sewing than because I expect people. Stop in and see me!

Enough for now! Time to dry my tears and get on with the day looking forwards to what blessings the day will bring.

Thank you for all the joy you have brought to my life. Hope to see everyone soon!

Good morning all!
Do you ever start a day with the best of intentions and then get sidetracked? This seams to be happening a lot to me lately. I start each day meaning to send out this post and then before I know it it's time to go home!

For those of you wanting to know if I ribboned at the MN State Quilt Show, I did not. On to Madison WI.

Also the day retreat is next Sat, June 27th from 9-5 at Duck Cup (103 Main St E). Reserve your spot by calling, e mailing, PM or stopping in the shop. Cost is $25 and includes lunch from Dominoes.

Have a great weekend! Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

Good morning all!

It's hard to believe that All MN Shop Hop has been over for a week already. I think I am finally starting to get caught up. Figured it was time to post the winners for my "Brown Bag Challenge".

Congrats to Kassy C. (1st), Carol S. (2nd) and Barb H. (3rd)! Thank you to all who participated and those who voted.

Everyone who created something can come in and pick up your projects.

Thanks again!
