September 2009 Calendar is available!

The 2009 September class and event calendar has been posted to the website. Due to some issues that are out of my control I was unable to announce it on the website, so I've announced it here.  Here it is: September 2009 calendar .  I'm sure I don't need to remind you about all those holidays that are coming soon - come get yourself ready with a class to learn a new skill, supplies, how about a spa day for your machine? (Don't let your machine know but it would really be a day with Mike or Clyde).  Or a new sewing machine to expand your skills on?  (Has anyone outgrown their 830?  Inquiring minds want to know.)  Oh and, Designer Plus V6 is ready to be released.  You'll be in awe...and I can't wait for mine.  The possibilities are endless and it seems that everything you wished was in V5 is in V6.  Have a great Labor Day holiday!

Isacord introduces 42 new thread colors (and takes away 12) + new Variegated Thread

Did you hear the news?  It is a little latecoming but Isacord introduced 42 new thread colors this year.  Isacord also has beautiful variegated thread.  The variegated thread is wonderful and we can't keep them in stock long enough.  We must be receiving a new set every week!

I've attached a checklist for the *new* Isacord list of threads.  The variegated threads have not been added to the list since I can't find information out there on the worldwide web.  The retired colors are:

0180	Whitewash
0706	Sunflower
1501	Watermelon
1551	Pink Clay
2166	Flesh
2576	Greyhound
2720	Sangria
3062	Cinder
4033	Tartan
4425	Dark Aqua
4442	Deep
4452	Truly Teal

Our Condolences - Laurel Burch

Last week a great artist and designer, Laurel Burch, passed away. We send our condolences to her family and friends. Her art is loved by many of the quilters in the Four Corners region and we are saddened by her passing.

She has left behind a delightful, brilliant world to which we can escape into...Thank you Laurel.
