We've added a Beginner's Class on Saturdays!!!!!  The typical 6-week class meets two hours each week. This Saturday class will meet four Saturdays for 3 hours each.  The students will meet the same number of hours but on fewer days.  This class will be $75.00 and meet on the following Saturdays:
October 14

10:00 - 1:00 (You may stay and sew until 2:00 if you'd like!)
 
Beginners who take 102 will choose another more difficult pattern to complete.  The 102 students meet at the same time and the fee is $75.00.  Beginners who continue on to the 103 class take on an even more challenging pattern and continue to receive help from our instructors.  The fee is $75.00.  Each class member for 102 and 103 will receive three 10% off coupons to use for class supplies and fabrics while you are in either the 102 or 103 class.  After you complete the 101, 102, and 103 classes, you may come back to join any of the 101, 102, or 103 classes for free but will not receive a discount past the 103 class.

National Sew a Jelly Roll Day!
(Copied from  Project Jelly Roll)
"Recent studies have shown that many quilters collect these pre-cuts without knowing what to do with them, without having a purpose.  The Jelly Roll in particular is left in it's original packaging and stacked on the shelf to gather dust.  Despite a huge resource of inspiration, many quilters report that they're waiting for a special reason to break out the Jelly Roll and use it for a project.
That's where Project Jelly Roll and the National Sew A Jelly Roll Day come in.  We're designating the 3rd Saturday in September of every year as National Sew A Jelly Roll Day to encourage collectors to tear open a Jelly Roll and make something."
National Sew a Jelly Roll Day

Cutest shopper of the week goes to this sweetie!  I just wanted to squeeze her little cheeks.  A future quilter in the making!
 
This cross stitch creation of a bride was stunning! Pictures do not do it justice.  WOW!

Ryan's Case for Smiles
Our charity focus at Sassy Stitches is Ryan's Case for Smiles. This is an organization that provides fun pillowcases for sick children .  ALL of our donations will be used in Asheville, NC at Mission Children's Hospital. I volunteered for this charity for several years and have personally delivered pillow cases to kids at Mission Children's Hospital and assure you it brings great joy to sick children to pick out a fun pillowcase. When you read the story about Cindy and her son, Ryan, you will understand what a great cause this is. It's the perfect charity for anyone who sews! Here is a link to the organization's website.
We will accept pillowcases, fabric donations for making pillow cases and monetary donations. If you choose to make pillowcases, there are tips on the website (see link above) about making them. The volunteers who take the pillowcases wash them before delivery. Something so simple as a fun pillowcase really does bring a smile to a sick child.  THANKS!


Lindy, Anne, and the Best Staff EVER! 
(They really are!!!!!)
