Sassy Stitches!

  

We enjoyed recognizing "Local Quilt Shop Day" on Saturday! We gave away these cute pincushion kits to celebrate. Sassy Stitches has the VERY BEST customers who come into our shop every single day. We appreciate you sew much and know that without YOU, we wouldn't be here!  THANK  you from the bottom of our bobbins for your patronage. I know you have a choice where to shop and when you choose us, we truly treasure your support.       
We also have the best little inventory executive in town.  He makes sure items are in stock and all straightened up. Doesn't he just make you smile?  We sure do love this little guy. He is the grandson of our Annie. She is so good to share him with us. We call him our "Shop Baby" and he even likes to sweep!  Precious!!!!!

Remember we are providing opportunities for you to come work on your club projects during the "Sit & Sew"
times this year or if you're not in a club, just come sew!  We are changing this a little bit after some customer feedback.  Regardless of whether you want to do some handwork or sew on your machine, come on either of the two "Sit & Sew" days provided each month and SEW!!! These days have been set aside for you to use our classroom and the supplies while you fellowship with others and work towards completing projects.   BUT . . . YOU MUST RESERVE A SPOT.  We are limiting the number of people to 10 on each of the sewing days so if you are interested you need to call and reserve your spot.  It's totally free!  But we only have room for so many so let us know you're coming and we will let you know if there is still room. You can get into the classroom at 9:45 and sew until 4:00!  WOW!  Staff can answer questions and help you briefly but they will be working on the floor taking care of other business. This is not class time so please be respectful of our staff members. You can order lunch or bring your own. Come sew with us!   Did I mention it's FREE ?!?!?  




Deb has let us know that there are only 6 spots remaining for the first annual Great Grid's Event to be held April 28 & 29, 2017.  Whether you are new to Creative Grids, need a
refresher, or just want 2 uninterrupted days to stitch on a great grids project, this is the event                                       for you.     
 
Sassy Stitches will be happy to help you select fabrics and gather the Creative Grids tools you need to get ready for the event.  We will also be having a special sale just for attendees beginning with special hours on Friday night, April 28  and lasting through the end of closing on Saturday. We can't wait to see you all!

Want more info?  Here's a link to Deb's blog post about the event.

Remember that we carry all of the Creative Grids rulers and tools you will need for any of Deb's upcoming events so call or come by the shop to get all of your supplies! We will be glad to ship them to you if you don't live close by. And as usual, we will have specials just for attendees.

Have a wonderful week and come see us!

Remembering Robin
Several customers and all of our staff suffered a tremendous loss when our friend Robin Coggins passed away a little more than two years ago. And of course her family was so very devastated when they lost their mother and wife. Robin was full of life and brought much laughter and joy to all. Robin purchased the top of the line sewing and embroidery machine in June before she passed away in November. The machine is like brand new. She had a wealth of other sewing supplies that any quilter would be thrilled to own. No one in her family sews and they are ready to sell Robin's sewing supplies and have some very nice items for sale.  Here is a list of what is available.
*Like new, top of the line sewing and embroidery machine with iPad 
*20th Anniversary Grace Company Quilting Frame w/ machine already attached
*85 Embroidery CD's - Most are Anita Goodesign
*110 Spools of Embroidery Thread
*25 Quilt Books
*Singer Serger
*Over 100 Yards of Quilting Fabric
*17 Rulers/Tools with Stand
Here are some of some of the items:


 
The total value of all of these items is much more than what the family is asking. Their price for everything listed is $11,000. This includes 2 sewing machines and a serger!  Here are phone numbers where you can reach family members if you have questions or would like to arrange a time to go see these items.

Show & Tell
Carol made this beautiful quilt for one of her granddaughters.  

Here's one of our Tool Time Club members with a finished project!

New fabric!  This is Coral Bells by Jan Patek. SO pretty!

Check out this beautiful jacket that our customer was kind enough to let me photograph.  WOW!

This is Margi's finished quilt from one of last year's club.  Stunning!

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!
