Save the Date - July 17th, One Million Pillowcase Challenge

 Yes, we're a participating shop - come join us!

When:   Saturday, July 17, 2010, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.        

                       Where:  Valley Chapel - 9741 Mendenhall Loop Rd

All pillowcases will be donated to our local charities and organizations in need.  If you have a favorite charity or know of an organization that could benefit from this effort, please let us know.  We really want to reach out to those in need within our community and your suggestions are appreciated. 

This effort is in addition to all the work our local Guild, the Capital City Quilters, does through their pillowcase program - which is currently about 300 pillowcases per year, that are donated to the AWARE shelter! 

Thank you for saving this date and helping us make a difference in our community!

Resolutions vs Intentions

It's me again, finally!  I have come to understand that while I have all these great resolutions - including being more disciplined in keeping up with our blog, I am in fact operating more on intentions.  Good intentions...but the hours turn into days, weeks, months, and somehow all time gets away from me! 

So, I am trying something new - a resolution to visit with you here at least once a week.  I've added a weekly reminder to my calendar, albeit now I will have to add the follow through to actually make this work!

Summer weather has been so great it's been hard to stay indoors and my sewing time has been severely infringed on!  I was out playing in the dirt, I mean in the garden, today and couldn't resist this Salmonberry - isn't she a beauty!  (tasted good too!!)
