Quilting, Garment and Embroidery Classes ...and more!

Summer happenings at
Sew Central
, Merritt Island, FL
July 8th, 2016 edition

It is that time of year when you just can't do anything outside - a great excuse to sew, or jump in your air conditioned car and go on a Shop Hop adventure!  Row by Row has started, and we already have a winner - Nancy D from Sebastian.  Check out her quilt:

 
Registration is now open for the July 16th start of the Florida Shop Hop.  This year's theme will be Light Houses and Bridges of Florida.  Start blocking off your travel dates, it promises to be a unique and fun experience. And I just can't wait to show off our unique pattern for "our" Lighthouse.  Once you have registered, you can also purchase your souvenir book at Sew Central.  This book is a keeper, six patterns and lots of coupons.  Remember to bring your proof of registration - we can't sell these books without it.

 
And for you embroidery fans - be sure to stop by and check out the new shipment of Anita Goodesign embroidery designs.  We have brought in "Anita's Attic", with some amazingly low prices for everything from mini's to video sets.  In some cases, they are $100's off the original price.

And, after many requests, we will now have buttons to help fill the void of Hancock's closing.  The button rack is arriving this week. 
 
See you at the store!
