Stashbusters is a FREE day for you to come and stitch on whatever you choose. Have fun turning your “stash” into a treasure chest of completed projects. Come and sew, quilt, knit, crochet, cross stitch, embroidery or whatever you would like to do for the day. It's perfectly OK to start new projects, too. It's your day to have fun, relax and stitch uninterrupted!
Starting at 10 am, come for the day or as long as your schedule permits. We have coffee, tea, microwave and fridge available; lunch is on your own.
If you don’t have a sewing machine or can’t bring yours, ours are available for rent on a first come, first serve basis. The minimum charge is $5.00 for up to 4 hours and $10.00 for the entire day. There are a limited number of sewing machines, so please call ahead to reserve one.

These rulers are easy, accurate and fool proof. The flying geese
units stitch together with perfectly matched corners and points.
