What's New at Friends Around the Block June 9, 2025

Well, here we are with the Colusa County fair season upon us. Did you get all your quilts done to showcase at the fair. Always fun to go out and see the hard work that everyone puts into their projects. Good Luck to all who enter!! Can't wait to hear all the chatter of who got 1st place and best of show. I have seen your quilts, and they are all best of show to us.

We had a great sale recently, hope you all got to take advantage of the sale prices and get a little something to hold you over the hot summer months. Thank you all for your support. It means a lot to small businesses.

Just finished a great week with the Santa Rosa Group that came and stayed with us. They rented the "Colusa House" on Clay Street and came in daily to sew and have a week to themselves.

Let me tell you, this group has inspired us to step up our game in the quilting. They all shared with us beautiful quilts, as well as 3 yard quilts. They laughed and played games, shared stories and enjoyed eating out in our little town. We love it when they come to Colusa. They support our shop and our local businesses. Thank you Trina and all of the fabulous ladies. I love having new friends. See you in November for your next retreat.

This bring me to Retreats. Yes, we do have retreats in our shop. We have a large room made just for that. We can accommodate 25 if you don't mind being close. But 20 is comfortable. Cost varies on the number of people, with or without food and snacks/drinks, and the number of days you want to stay. Call for details.

Classes are also available through the summer.  We will be having our ever popular Kids Kamp in July. Sign up early as this fills up fast.

"Featherweight and Friends" will be starting June 18th.
Hexi Group and hand sewing will be another class that will be meeting either bi-weekly or monthly, plus many more one day classes.

Game Day will be Saturday June 21. This is a fast paced day with a lot of winnings. If you have ever been to one you know how rowdy and fun it can be, if not you are missing out. Get yourself in here for a day of fun and go home a winner.

There are still a few more chairs left for Linda Ballard's class on June 24 Sweetbrier Patch. It can be either a wall hanging or lap quilt.

Wensleydale Retreat is coming up in July with limited space. This is a 3 day retreat that does not disappoint. The teaching is easy to follow, the kits are simi pre-cut and they include the papers. 1 Dinner, 1 lunch and 1 breakfast are included in the cost of the class.

Please come in and look around, get inspired to try something new. Share what you are working on it inspires us. We are open to new ideas and what is happening in your quilting world. You know what they say about Great Minds.
