This quarter's charities.
One of our values is giving back to the community, so we donate a portion of all our sales to charity, and we rotate the organizations every quarter.
And you get to choose!
When you check out, let us know which charity you'd like to support with the proceeds from your purchase, and we'll make sure it happens.
This quarter we're supporting:
- St Louis Ovarian Cancer Awareness
- St. Louis Veterans Medical Center
- The National Osteoporosis Foundation
- The National Fibromyalgia Association
News from Dr. Cindy Feelgood, just before she went to Market . . .
(Did you get to the Cat's-Away Sale? What great deals did you get?)
The parties are over.
But there are more to come, always.
New Year's Day: Fun with amazing demos, and a couple of nice prizes . . .
Our New Year's Day Party was full of great customers, fabric sales, refreshments, demos and drawings.
June demonstrated how to set in a sleeve using only one (yes, ONE) pin. It was so great – I made her demo it THREE times!!!
Vicki demoed how to put in the grommets we're using on the bags. You can use these grommets for shower curtains and other curtains – they're even reusable!
Marsha Hopkins from Chesterfield won the drawing for the Side Winder, and Carole Bowen from Belleville won the Sew It Seams gift certificate.
Super Sunday Sewing:
Our Super Sunday Party was a lot of fun. We sewed, talked, ate and drank a little wine – what a nice Sunday afternoon that was.

Spring fabrics
are trickling in!!!!!!!!!!
We have a few spring fabrics.
At the top of my list: We have a nice acrylic cotton multicolored suiting. With a white background, it has flecks of blue, pink and a very pale green.
First, of course,
our top two vote-getters.
If this were elementary school we'd say all the participants were winners.
In a sense, that's true. You guys did a great job, and we saw some great ideas!
But we also had real judges and real winners, and these were the top two. Remember - the contest was about ideas more than sewing:
- How appropriate was the fabric for the pattern?
- How did the embellishments carry the idea forward?
Cindy gets back in the store Wednesday, and then we'll publish the names of these great creative sewers-designers.
