“Where All Threads Lead To Paradise!”

Important Dates & Events

Updated 6/11/08

Dear Friends,

A nice mix of sunshine, warmer temperatures and some rain have turned the north woods into beautiful shades of greens with lots of wildflowers blooming and now the wild cherry and plum trees are blooming, too. It’s just beyond description! The gorgeous bright greens of the new leaves of the maples, mixed with the dark burgundies of the new cherry and plum leaves fringed with their white blossoms, the scents of the blossoms in the air; what a feast for all of our senses! Be sure to enjoy it all!

“Stashbusters” continue at Village Fabrics & Crafts

Join the “Stashbusters” on the second Saturday of each month in the classroom at Village Fabrics & Crafts. Starting at 10am, have fun turning your stash into a treasure chest of completed projects. Finish those things for yourself , or create gifts for all occasions, including Christmas! Stashbusters is not only for sewing projects but knitting, crocheting, counted cross stitch, embroidery and more.

As the saying goes “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and if you have something which no longer catches your eye, bring it along. Trade it with another “Stashbuster” or maybe we can give you a fresh idea of how to turn that “dog” into a beautiful “purebred”.

Whatever you select from your stash, it’s guaranteed to be a day of fun and accomplishment. We are going to be working on our “stashes”, too. We may be knitting, crocheting, quilting or whatever needs to be done on the day. We’ll be available to help with questions, show you our time-saving techniques and tricks and how to correct mistakes (we’re masters at this) and move on to finish the project.

Venture into that area known as your “Stash”; select some things and join us. If you are interested, but can’t join us on Saturdays, please give us a call; we will be delighted to set up a weekday or meet more often. Speaking for ourselves, we certainly have enough to keep us busy at least two days a week!

If you are new at this and have no “Stash” to dig into, don’t miss out on the fun. It’s perfectly OK to start new projects, too! If you don’t have a sewing machine or can’t bring yours, ours are available to use on a first come, first serve basis. Call to reserve.

“Stashbuster” dates are as follows:

June 14^th September 13^th December 13^th

July 12^th October 11^th

August 9^th November 8
