We recently had a fabulous event here at the store called Fabric Hoarder's Disorder Clinic where we featured some great demos and sales for our favorite customers. Here's Julie, sporting her "Tammy Tadd colors". You probably didn't know that we "own" pink and green did you? Too bad we DON'T, they ARE fabulous colors after all!
One of our demos was from John of Paper Pieces. Here he is showin' ladies "just how it's done".
Nurse Sue, giving free blood pressure checks... some husbands needed to be monitored while their wives shopped! Not really, Eric (here) was a willing participant .... AND he was rewarded with candy Smarties!
Suzanne, proves that "ZIPPERS ARE NO BIG DEAL" as Terry Atkinson from Atkinson Designs says. Have you ever seen so many FABULOUS zipper colors? They are 14", and retail for $.89 each. So you can imagine, they sell like hot cakes! If you can't find them at your local shop, call the store and order.
Nan, helping ladies with our "make and take" wool heart pins.
Miss Sherry's demo, was the Folded Bow-Tie Block. Ladies were havin' a great time learning to make this block. It will be interesting to see what kind of projects they come up with to use these fun little blocks.
Nurse Sue again, showing ladies how to make the Hot Dog pillowcase and helping us to make our "happy" pillowcases for charity. Check out the sew hooked blog for a tutorial on making these fast and fun pillowcases.
****Thought for the Day****
"Really I don't dislike to cook,
but what you cook is eaten so quickly.
When you sew,
you have something that will last
to show for your efforts."

Hey, updates on some things..... my mom is doing great, in case you were wondering. We have recently made some changes to our website and newsletter format. We no longer offer a shopping cart on our site, it was just too hard to keep it current. So if you see anything on the site that you would like to order, just call the store and order direct.
We have a FABULOUS event coming in April. Our friend Penny Sturges from Quilts Illustrated is coming for a Meet & Greet on Thursday April 14th in the evening from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. as well as a bag workshop on Friday the 15th from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. If you like her bag patterns such as The Weekender, Charm Party, or Bow Tucks, you won't want to miss this opportunity to learn from the "master" herself. Spaces are limited so if you're interested, call right away to reserve a spot. I can't think of a better way to spend "tax day" can you?
Have a wonderful week everyone!
God Bless ya,
Tammy
