Home of the Innocents blankets

We have had a lot of good response to our Home of the Inncoents classes. We have a couple  more classes schelduled. So if you haven't had a chance to attend one please call one of out two locations to see if there is a class you can attend.

Linda Lee Sewing Retreat

Linda Carswell and myself had a wonderful time in Kansas at The Project Sewing Workshop class. We fitted and sewed for 3 full days. The fabric and buttons were absolutely stunning (I probably spent to much).
Linda Carswell left with her T-shirt finished, her pants fitted in a muslin, and her jacket cut out. I left with two pants fitted in muslin and two tops fitted in muslin ( I didn't want to cut my beautiful silk till I made sure it fit!). We came back with wonderful ideas for upcoming classes, besure to check the January - February Needle Works Newsletter. Linda Lee and her assistants (Cathy ( Linda Lee's Sewing Workshop pattern Co.), Sandy ( Louise Cutting) and Katherine Gross (Bernina)) couldn't had been any more helpful. Bev who cut our fabrics was absolutely exhausted when we left but she never once complained, she was a trooper. We had dinner at Linda Lee's home on Saturday night, and she showed us some of the upcoming kits. Everything was GREAT!!!!

More Pictures coming later today or tomorrow.
