Jennifer’s Blog

First, you guys know I always share.  Probably I share too much but since I had told you all Onyx was sick I guess I have to give the sad update that he passed on Monday, December 2.  He was my little boy who had the biggest purrsonality.  He will always be remembered and missed.  My apartment is so empty right and quiet right now.

Ok now on to more festive things.  I am reposting the holiday schedule for the next couple of weeks.

First the holiday schedule:

Tuesday, December 24th ,2024 closing at 1pm!

Closed on Wednesday, December 25th for Christmas!

Tuesday, December 31st, 2024 closing at 1pm!

Closed on Wednesday, January 1, 2025!

Next up if you get this newsletter as a pdf or a snail mail I am going to try and stream line it a little bit.  Let colors and graphics so that the writing and printing goes quicker.  Most of the colors that you see on the pdf do not copy over to the email or to facebook.  If you really don’t like it streamlined let me know.  If you enough of you complain I might listen and go back to being graphicl.

The next 101 class will be starting on Saturday, January 25th at 9am!  If you know someone who is interested in learning how to quilt please send them our way!    If anyone is interested in doing the 201 class in 2025 please let me know.  I am not sure if it’s worth me trying to schedule since no one seems interested.  So I’m just putting it out there.  If you are interested let me know and I will schedule one for March. See below for two pictures of 101 quilts.

I want to take this time to wish you all a very blessed and Merry Christmas and Happy 2025!

Classes/Events:

Charity Project 2025Dress A Girl Around the World

In 2025 we are continuing our charitable effort with Dress A Girl Around the World (Hope 4 Women International non-profit).  This organization provides dresses to girls around the world suffering from poverty, disease, and low self-worth.  Staff and Customers make dresses to support this organization.  We will supply the instructions and assistance in making these simple dresses to make a girl feel special and loved.  They can be worked on at our Open Sews ($5 fee waived) or at home.  A 10% discount on fabric purchased specifically for these dresses.   


Kathy's Korner 2025

We are going to do things a little differently in 2025.   Instead of having a specific monthly project, we will have an Open Sew for $5.00 per session. You can come in and work on a project of your choice or complete an unfinished project.   Kathy will be there to help you (to the best of her ability) if needed.    Occasionally, there will be a featured project during the month which will be priced accordingly.  It is helpful to call in advance so that we know you are coming.  Please pay attention to the dates that are listed below and on the calendar.  We may adjust dates as needed but for January we are loaded with dates for you to sew!  Start your own group of ladies on a certain day that is listed and join the fun!  Kathy’s Korner Open Sews are replacing/enhancing our sit n sews!  Just a small change!

Open Sew January:

      Mondays 1:30 - 5:00

      Wednesdays 10:30 - 5:00 (please call since this day is usually full)

      Fridays 10:30 - 2:00


Yarn Time!

This month we will be having 6 sessions of Yarn Time We will be charging $5.00 a session whether you are doing the project of the month or just your own stuff.  If you come to all you get the final session free!  As always our Yarn times are hosted by Emily Klaczak.   Spread the word that it’s a great time to come in and work on your knitting and crochet and socialize with like mind artists!  If you know anyone ho wants to learn have them come talk to Emily during one of these times and see what can be set up for lessons!

January Yarn Time — GrannySquare Dog Sweater

Granny squares are back in style and now you can make a granny square sweater for your dog!  The pattern covers all sizes from Chihuahua to German Shepherd.  And if you don’t have a dog, come and learn how to join granny squares without sewing them together. Disclaimer.  This is not Emily’s dog.  Emily’s dog is much much cuter!

Supplies:
Small amounts of medium weight acrylic yarn in assorted colors
One skein of medium weight acrylic yarn for the borders, Size G crochet hook, and Three 1/2” buttons
