Stitchin’ Heaven Howdy

We’re Famous!

October 21st, 2007

Be sure and check out this article that appeared in the Dallas Morning News on Friday, October 19.
I knew this article was going to run but of course had NO IDEA what coverage they were going to give us! Nancy Myers (the special contributor) had contacted me several times with interview questions making sure she got all the facts just right. I thought originally the article was about the Patchwork Party but it turned into a really nice article also about Stitchin’ Heaven.

For those of you who have not yet joined the Patchwork Party for our fall session, it is not too late! You can get all the information you need at www.patchworkparty2007.com This is truly a fun project and the article describes it very well.

The article also mentions our Bunkhouse that we have to rent for small group retreats. If you are looking for a great place to meet with your friends, please consider us. I built this cabin in 2000 just for quilters. There are plenty of electrical outlets, work tables, and chairs. There is lower bed sleeping for 12 with 4 upper beds to total sleeping for 16. The cabin is 2200 square feet with over 1500 square feet dedicated to sewing. There are no big sofas you have to move around to make a place to sew. You can make your reservation on-line or feel free to call the shop.

If you need time away to sew and don’t have a group large enough to rent the Bunkhouse, please consider one of our retreats. These are held at Brookhaven Christian Center – a wonderful setting with incredible facilities. We have 3 scheduled for next year:

Judy Niemeyer will be our guest for our retreat January 9 – 12. Judy will teach a one-day project as well as a two-day project. If you want to just come and sew you can do that as well without taking a project.
Ruth B. McDowell will be our guest and teaching her “Designing from Nature” project February 24 – 29. You will spend 5 wonderful days with Ruth learning her techniques and you will have lots of sewing time.
Our first annual Sew ‘n Spa will be held April 15 – 19. At this event we will be teaming up with the Copper Leaf Spa in Winnsboro to bring you plenty of sewing, plenty of sunshine, and plenty of spa treatments! This is a unique event and one that you will want to enjoy with a friend!

Let us know what you think about the article! And, as always, thank you for your continued patronage. We hope you will visit us soon whether it be at the Bunkhouse, at one of our retreats, in the shop, or on the Internet.
