Print Concepts new Farmall panel and two coordinating fabrics have arrived recently. They are plowing their way out the door since they came in.
I haven't gotten any photos yet of our newest arrival yet.
Northcott's new patriotic panel and some coordinating fabrics arrived yesterday and Grandma is still trying to put them in the computer.
There is even a free pattern download for this panel. We will be making up a sample of the free pattern in the next few weeks.
We're going to need a couple of weeks to recover from being so darn busy before anyone gets a chance to make a sample.
You can check out the free pattern at:http://www.northcott.com/pattern-detail.aspx?patternid=4887&collectionid=2230
I will get an email out with the photos of the new collection. When the sample is finished, I will get a photo out showing it off.
Since it's the beginning of a new month, it's also time for our Free Pattern and Demo Day.
Free Pattern and Demo Day will be on Saturday, October 6, starting at 10 am.
We will have light refreshments and a Door Prize.
In October we will be hosting a Vintage Restoration Class by Sew Purty Workshop on Saturday, October 27th & Sunday, October 28th.

We hope some of you will sign up for Ray's class.
He is well known in vintage sewing machines circles for his extensive knowledge on restoring vintage sewing machines.
Grandma has been bringing her little dog, Moda, into the Shop.
Moda has been pestering me, stealing my bones and my bed.
I get back at her by stealing her treats.
She is easily distracted.
You have to watch her, she likes to steal anything within her reach.
Fortunately, she doesn't have a very long reach.
You may want to keep your purse closed and guard it closely. She's been known to steal things out of purses. So far, she's gotten a couple of pens, and a set of keys.
She's a cute, lovable little pup but she can be a real stinker sometimes.
But, she's not a cute and lovable as me!!!
Have a great Halloween and October.
I hate to see the warm weather start to fade.
I hope it's a dry Fall.
I don't know about you, but, I'm really sick of the rain. I may have Lab in me but I didn't inherit webbed toes. I got Husky toes.
That's all for this newsletter.
I hope to see you this weekend for the Quilt Show weekend and next weekend for the Free Pattern and Demo Day.
I need some belly rubs. I'm not getting enough.
Keeping you in Stitches,
Obi the Wonder Dog, Moda the Bandit, Maryanne & Mary Lou
