October: pumpkins, lightweight cardigans, quilts on a cool evening...I am ready. Mostly I'm ready to leave September behind! What a crazy month that was.
I took inventory of
in stock embroidery, and I need more room for kits. So we are going to have a mini-clearance of all in stock embroidery designs (with the exception of our Block of the Months). Viking, Embroidery Garden, Purely Gates, Holy Berry, Smith Street, Kimberbell Designs, and more - all on sale this month.
50% OFF all this month.
And while we are at it, let's do the same for
Patterns (they take up the same space). A huge selection of Quilting patterns, Adult Garment patterns (men and women's), Children's patterns.
50% OFF all this month
Florida Row by Row Experience is over - and we had a winner. In case you missed it on Facebook, Susan brought in a beautiful seven row quilt, with the 8th row, our Sew Central Rocket, being used on the back as a label. Very creative.
See you at Sew Central! Ellen |

Autumn Nuthatch |
Embroidery Block of the Month
Autumn Nuthatch
Thursday, October 19th, 10am to 3pm
This applique block of the month series features Anna's Awesome Applique "My Garden Journal" and they are some of the most beautiful embroidered blocks we have ever seen digitized. These blocks are larger than most embroidered applique blocks making them perfect for framed art. And because they are larger, students will learn how easy the multiple hooping technique can be.
October Block is Autumn Nuthatch.
The leaves are starting to fall in this month's embroidery. While we don't see much of leaves changing colors here in Florida, we can have that beauty in our designs to remind us of raking leaves--remind us of how we are thankful we don't need to!
Minimum hoop stitch area is 8" x 12"
Bring your lunch - refrigerator and microwave are available for your use.
Instructor: Ellen and Susan
Cost: $55.00 includes the full embroidery design package
