November 2019
Hello Everyone!
It's November and I'm not quite ready for Fall to end yet, this snow can go back to where it came from - Wait your turn Winter! I guess we should just be thankful for the beautiful fall season we had. It's that thankful time of year, isn't it? November is always there to help us focus on the amazing year we had and to really take into account all the wonderful people we have met, the friendships that have been strengthened, the places we have visited both the new and the familiar. As we look back on the year, we remember so many wonderful times we have shared with all of you in the shop and on the road. We had so much fun visiting new guilds to share a little knowledge, lots of ideas and hopefully some inspiration too. We have been a part of many wonderful shows this year and we love being able to bring a selection of our shop with us so quilters can get an idea of what a visit to Sweet Stitches would be like. We love to bring you fun days to spend at the shop like Free Sew Fridays, First Friday Demonstration days, Accuquilt Go Play Days and of course special events where we bring in experts to teach us more about Accuquilt and our Sewing Machines. We are so thankful that so many of you love to participate in these events and we are so thankful for your support, and encouragement as we come up with new things to keep your Quilting Fun and Creative. The best part of our year though is YOU our friends and supporters without you there would be no Sweet Stitches Quilt Shop. Thank you!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday Everyone! May all your Stitches be Sweet,
Joan
