Here's what you can do when you make an appointment:
1. Browse to get inspired, and buy nothing. I don't care. I know you'll be back.
2. Pick out one skein of embroidery floss.
3. Ask for advice on a quilting or knitting project--without buying anything to go with said projects.
You'll be back when your project is finished. I'm not worried.
4. Pick out fabric or yarn for a project without my help.
5. Pick out fabric or yarn for a project with my help.
6. Show me something you've finished.
7. If you're new in town, come in to see what's in the shop! I'd love to meet you and show you around.
8. A visitor passing through? Click for a time, and come on in!
I'll be delighted to see you!
Making an appointment is easy. Call or text me, or do it here. (Be sure you get a confirmation email to show that the appointment has gone through! Call if you don't!) If you need an earlier or later time, that's easy, too! Just call the shop at 814-238-4151. (I've kept the afternoons open on this calendar so that you can call in for any yarn and fabric emergency slots!) If you don't see times, click on the little black arrow below.
NOTE: You may join in late. We'll make a kit for you. Please call the shop to sign up. Cynthia began this quilt with the idea of making it all gray, and she began designing. Well, you know her love of color: All-gray didn't last long. So a wee bit of grayish purple crept in. And then a bit more dark purple--all mixed in with the gray. And now it's perfect. Enjoy sewing this elegant quilt, bit by bit, throughout the year! Supplies: This quilt is for pick-up or mailing, rather than an in-store class. You should have basic quilting knowledge before making it, or take Quilting 101 before beginning it. We'll supply the fabric and pattern each month, and you?ll end up with a gorgeous quilt as you work with ease on it throughout the year! The quilt finishes at about 107". Any questions? Talk to Cynthia. Pick-up Dates: Saturdays, Jan. 21, Feb. 25, Mar. 25, April 22, May 20, June 17, July 22, Aug. 26, Sept. 23. Blocks will be outside the shop after 10 a.m. or can be mailed if you call to sign up. Postage for the year if you would like to have yours mailed is $60. Cost: $190 covers the entire top plus binding. Backing is separate.

The phrase "short rows" can strike panic into knitters. But if you understand what short rows are, you can knit them and it's a breeze! Join Cynthia in the shop for an evening of learning different types of short rows. We'll work halfway across, and then go back in several different ways! Supplies: Bring along a size 7 needle and worsted-weight scrap yarn. We'll be practicing tonight. Date and Time: Wednesday, March 30, 6-8 p.m. This is an in-shop class. Masks are required. Cost: $30
