Stand and Stitch…

Thursday, June 20, from 5 to 8 p.m. — come on out and stitch with us inside My Father’s House Antiques! If you’ve thought about learning to quilt on the longarm, here’s a free chance to try your hand at it! We’ll be quilting a donation piece for Children’s Hospital. There’s also plenty of room for you to work on a project of your own, design wall, several sewing machines, ironing and cutting stations.  As an added bonus, light refreshments will be provided by the Rogers Street Bistro!  The store will remain open for us as well. No reservations necessary. No fee. See you there! 

 

A new outlook…

It struck me as I drove to the studio this morning, planning out my day, what a vastly different process that is than it has been for the last more-years-than-I-would-ever-admit.  Instead of thinking through the difficult conversations I would have, the boring meetings on the schedule, the looming deadlines… I was planning which colors of embroidery thread to use on a block for a wedding quilt!

Shining eyes…

Today, a small boy with shining eyes and a winning smile bounced into the studio and announced, “It’s awesome up here!” with a voice as loud as all adventure!  We pulled a chair up to the railing to allow him the full effect of our mezzanine view, and then I just soaked up his wonder. It fueled my creativity for the rest of the afternoon!
