What's New at Friends Around the Block       August 15, 2024 

Well, here we are Back to School today. We are entering the next season of events. Kids are back to school and time for homework and getting kids to bed at a decent hour, just to rouse them in the mornings and get them out the door.

Ladies take a deep breath and relax a few moments!!  Drink your coffee, or blended mocha as I do and listen to the silence in the house.   Ahh!  I always loved first days.  As a child getting to be with my friends at school, and as a parent to get my house back in order from all the summer shenanigans.  

Now that you have a minute to yourself take a few minutes to look over the beautiful new fabrics that have come in over the summer.  If you have time once you have yourself and your home gathered up and back in order, come on by the shop and look around.  We promise to let you "Be in the Moment" and just walk around and take in the quiet and peace if the fabric, thread and new ideas. 

I have been busy coming up with new classes and fun ideas for a game day later this year.  We have a list of these in the store and on the website for your convenience. 

One important thing we have been working towards is helping everyone to FINISH all your UFO's.  No one wants to be discouraging when looking around your sewing room and saying to yourself, I already have too much fabric!!! I don't need any more.  I agree!  So, we have set aside a day, Tuesday of each week to work together to get those projects finished.

If you want to come and sew with us, come on in and get that thing done and off your "To Do" list.  Remember how much you loved that fabric and had to have it...How do we lose interest in our projects.  Is it too hard, I don't understand the directions, the fabric is just not right together? If you need help, we have someone on staff that is here to help. The group is called Stringy Friends and there is no pressure, just encouragement and lots of laughter.  Come join us.

If we find there is interest in an evening sew class, we are looking at starting that.  Some work all day and don't have an opportunity to come to a class during the daytime.  Give us and call and if enough people are interested, we can start a class.

Please check the "Calendar" and tab through the months to see "what, when and how much" 

Hope to see you here at Friends Around the Block

Patt and the ladies.
