At Forever In Stitches we’re giving a new meaning to this acronym: “Project of the Month Special”!

Want a new small project to work on each month?  Items like table runners, wallhangings, placemats, purses, etc..

Starting May 1st, Forever In Stitches is beginning a monthly project kit special.  The program will work as follows:

  • The monthly special kit can be purchased at its discounted price with your purchase of at least $5 regular priced in stock merchandise.
  • Kits available on “first come…” basis while supply lasts.
  • One PMS per person per month.
  • Kits can not be reserved or paid for in advance to hold.
  • After end of month, any remaining kits will be available on our kit shelves at full retail price
  • PMS pattern will not be sold separately

Spring Challenge -Winners

The results are in from the 11 Spring Challenge entries.  1st place(left) went to Mae Adkins, Rawson.  2nd place(right) went to Sandy Lause, Lima.  Congratulations Mae & Sandy and thank you to all participants for brightening up an otherwise dreary/cold March.

Although we’ve been using our new training area since last October, we’ve had to use its exterior entrance/exit.

In March our contractor cut an archway in the wall connecting the two spaces.  The whole room is now complete thanks to a coat of paint on the ceiling and wall paper on one wall.  Stop by and check it out!

Congratulations Eileen Challen for being chosen as our 1st bi-monthly Long Arm 20% off Coupon winner. 

As part of our newsletter publishing, we will be drawing a name from our Long-Arm appointment calendar.  Eligible entries include anyone who had scheduled & kept a quilt check-in appointment during the prior two months.

The first of three quilts that you helped us create and donate to the Quilt Pink 2006 event goes on the auction block May 3-10.  The quilt donated by the Bluffton Scrap Artists also is auctioned  that same week.

To keep track of the current schedule or see & take part in the bidding, use the links on our website: fisllc.com
