"Supplying the Fabric of Our Heritage"
| Mullica Hill Quilt Company’s Courtyard Quarterly Volume 2, Number 1 Fall/Winter 2007 “Supplying the Fabric of Our Heritage” Greetings friends, I hope that all of you are doing well and are ready for the wonderful colors of fall. I know that I am! Fall happens to be one of my favorite times of the year. The crisp, cool, clean air makes it easier to bury myself under the fabric that I am working with at the moment. The color of the changing leaves inspires me for the dozen or so projects that are always rolling around in my head. It’s a shame we only have two hands. I am sure that I don’t have to tell you that I love quilting. I love fabric, notions, sewing machines, magazines, and books about quilting. I love the time I spend quilting and the time I spend with quilts on my lap. I love the people that quilt. I love spending time with them, especially my customers. Having said this, the last several months have been quite an adventure. I have been fortunate in having the opportunity to surround myself with the people and things that I hold so dear to my heart. I have also made countless new friends. The shop has evolved and continues to become the haven that I had imagined long ago when I began dreaming about opening a quilt shop. Our class roster for the summer was very well received and went beautifully. I wasn’ t at all surprised as I have such a wonderful teaching staff. We have worked very hard to bring you an exciting and versatile Fall/Winter roster and I know that you won’ t be disappointed as you peruse the offerings. I welcome two newcomers to our teaching staff this fall. Jean Ficca, a professional longarm quilter and teacher at the former, A Patch of Country and JoAnne Ross, who, after spending time doing individual instruction, has decided to embark on the classroom setting. Both of these wonderfully talented quilters will be offering exciting projects that I know you will enjoy. Register early, they’re already hot and filling up quickly! In addition to a great class roster, we have several exciting events taking place over the next few months. Our First Annual “Yard” Sale will take place from August 20th through September 1st. You will find savings of 15% -25% on a selection of our favorite fabric lines and products. It promises to be a “don’t miss” event. In September, we will be hosting our second Trunk Show, “Let it Snow” by Sharon Reynolds of Tenderberry Stitches. Anyone who was here during the “Ghosts in the Pumpkin Patch” trunk show knows how fabulous that event turned out to be. “Let it Snow” promises to be even more enchanting! We will be hosting, “Quilts in the Courtyard” during the Mullica Hill Fall Festival in October. This will be an annual event and promises to be my personal favorite as the stars of this show will be my wonderfully talented customers. You will be given the opportunity to exhibit, as well as sell your quilts (if you are so inclined). Please sign-up early if you would like to participate in this event, as space will be limited. Of course it is that time of year when we all begin thinking about Christmas. Please make sure to stop in the shop and see the beautiful Christmas fabrics that have come in. We have scheduled several classes with quick, easy, fun projects that will make wonderful gifts for this special time of year. We are also introducing our Christmas Wish Box. Please complete a wish list card the next time you are in the shop. We will have your “wishes” available for those who are doing their gift shopping this season. Take some time to review our back page calendar for the dates of all of these events. I hope to see all of you soon! Piece and good stitches! Annette |
