The Super Bowl Sale
A big "Thank You" to everyone who stopped by on Super Bowl Sunday to take part in big sale! As you can see, I was really trying to get into the spirit by wearing my Football jersey, even though the Patriot's were not in the game.
There was a terrific turnout of quilters who had lots of fat quarters to choose from:
For those who wanted fabric off the bolt, there was a great cutting crew:
With all the snow we've had this winter, it was great to see so many quilters brave the weather and come to the shop. Thanks for making my first Super Bowl Sale really Super!

New Year, New Classes and fabrics
I am kicking off the New Year with a special sale event on Feb 6th, Super Bowl Sunday.
It's a Fat Quarter Frenzy! All pre-cut fat quarters will be on sale for $1.00 each. There will also be scrap bags of fabric for $3.00 each or 2 / $5.00. (Some of these scrap bags contain as much as 2 yards of fabric.) Special shop hours for the sale are 10:00am to 3:00pm. Come early for best selection. Super Bowl sale discounts can not be combined with any additional discounts. Gift certificates are accepted as always.
The new year has also brought a new schedule of classes:
Fat Quarter Friendly
The start of a new series here at Sew Together..a monthly themed pattern for a seasonal wallhanging. This wall quilt can be finished (or very close to it) by the end of class. As an added feature, we’ll be trading fabrics with each other for maximum scrappy fun.
Wednesday Jan 19th 5-9:00 pm
Wednesday, Feb 9th 5-9:00 pm
Wednesday,Mar 2nd 5-9:00 pm
Teacher: Mary Mazzapica

Another Valentine project that works up fast. These versatile little totes make a great package for your pretty little gifts, and can be customized to suit the season.
Saturday, Feb 5th, 10:00 am – noon
Teacher: Marlene Levesque
Class fee: $12.00
Fat Quarter Jacket

Square Pegs

I know a lot of people don't check this blog as I am very new to this way of communication. I am so very glad to have you here.
I am in the process of convincing my husband that I should move my business out of our home and into a brick and mortar. The costs and uncertainties are enough to scare my husband while I'm so very ready to expand and work my business in public.
If you do read this PLEASE VOTE for me at officialsponsor.com under the arts & crafts section. My name is Maryann R "passionate quilt teacher" . Thank you! It would help so much.

I am still getting used to this "blogging" thing, but have a feeling that when I have it mastered, the technology will all change. Anyway, My son & I are working diligently to have the website up and running. It is so exciting for me.
My progress has been slow on the "please don't eat the daisy" quilt but I may have to finish it up today. I need to work on my youngest son's teacher quilt. It needs to be delivered in a few weeks!
I will check in either tonight or in the morning to update you on my progress.

It's Thursday morning and students are pulling into the drive way for class. I've been swamped with cleaning up sewing room as well as preparing my new Website - special thanks to my oldest son - Bruce. Anyway, I've been working on a quilt called "please don't eat the daisies" a log cabin with stars in the sashing. Its been alot of fun until I realized that I had my half square triangles going the wrong way! UUUUGGGGGGHHHHH! Anyway I have to start class.
