A very Happy New Year to everyone.  Congratulations to all who received any sewing related gifts. I am sure you will enjoy using your thoughtful gifts in the weeks and months to come. 
 
Treat Yourself Tuesdays: Make 2008 the year you pamper yourself...take time for yourself...have some fun! Join us on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 1 - 4 p.m. Bring along whatever you are working on - sewing, quilting, mending - you get the idea. Share some time with other creative individuals and get those projects done. Coffee and tea provided. Cost is $8 per person.   PLEASE NOTE - for January we are meeting on the 8th and the 15th as the first Tuesday of the month fell on New Year's Day. See you then!
 
A Needle Pulling Thread: The latest issue has arrived!  Pick yours up today!
 
I sent out the latest NeedleNews before Christmas, but already we have some additions.
  • We have dates set for a Beginner Serger class.  Thursday afternoons from 12:30-3:30.  February 7, 14 & 21.  This class is great for those who don't know how to use sergers or who have one and haven't used it for a while.  We'll cover threading the machine quickly and efficiently and also look at all the basic stitches a serger can do as well as learn how to recognize and adjust for perfect tension.  Each class ends with a small projects to show off your new found skills.  Call the store to register.  The supply list can be accessed on the web page.
  • We have also confirmed dates for an Introduction to Photo Transfer.  April 1; 6:30-9pm.  Here's what Margaret has to say about the class. "Preserving your memories on cloth, creating your own material, using Vintage CD's ~ there is just no limit to what you can do with a bottle of Bubblejet and an inkjet printer.  Learn HOW to get started, what resources are available and see projects in the making at this informative demo! We'll also book a workday where Margaret will help you with your own photos and give you practical suggestions for layout and printing.
We invite you to join us in our 2008 Monthly Projects program.  On alternating months, we will have an idea for a fabulous vest and a small quilted wallhanging.  The kits will include the patterns at half price and cost no more than $10.  Our goal is to encourage you to try something new, learn a new technique, and fully complete projects that would be ideal for gift giving or keeping for yourself.   Kits for the first kit will be available January 15.  See the website for full details.
 
We are conducting a survey.   Send us some ideas of products you would like to see available at Needleworks.  All who respond will be entered for a draw at the end of the month.
 
Have a great week sewing!
