Youngest has admitted to herself that she now lives in a different city. Needing to renew her Real ID reinforced the realization. Funny, things don’t work the same in every city… Needing to have a paperwork question answered before venturing into the Real ID Supercenter (yup, it really is a supercenter), she debated where to call. The choices - the supercenter or a state office where she knew there would be an intern just wishing someone would call. The intern was thrilled to pieces, and really wished she had more questions. Armed with the correct paperwork, she stepped into the supercenter. First she was told to “stand” there. As she tried to understand why, her photo was snapped! No looking at the picture, no second try (maybe waiting a bit in Bridgeville wasn’t so bad…). The moving from spot to spot, and waiting then commenced. She entertained herself along the way by texting friends who commiserated about the awful photos on their Real IDs. After “ages” she was handed a piece of paper (not a laminated ID!) and told the real one would arrive in 8 business days. Oh, and she had to promise she would no longer use her PA one… When she finally looked at the temporary one, she got a surprise - best ID photo ever!


Maybe going with the flow in other situations would have similar, fantastic results - maybe when selecting fabrics for the next quilt?!


Hope your week is filled with unexpected pleasant surprises,

Mary Beth

Those in our end-of-the-month pieced Saturday Sampler program will meet at 9:00am this Saturday (8-29-26). There will be lots to see and hear about, and the next block in the series will make its debut. This time we will focus on triangles, in both a small and larger size. We will look at the steps you can take to help stitch bias edges to bias edges, without distorting your work. Be sure to bring your block from last month - they are so much fun to see! 

Saturday is also the last session in our current Stash Management series. This is the group that, during each meeting, shares sewing space organizing tips, projects they have made using fabrics from their collections, and a pattern that will put bits and pieces of fabric into use. Every month there is so much to see, so much to learn, and so many nice people to enjoy. The new series will begin September 26th - the best part - the entire year long series is just $10.00! Consider joining us - register soon!

Good gracious - new fabric is everywhere in the shop. A sweet collection by Jill Howarth caught my eye today. The characters from Cinderella are brought to life in this, her newest group. You will find the royal players, as well as the tiny creatures from the classic fairytale, worked in Jill’s whimsical style. Dark blue, light blue, purple, teal, pink, gold and silver sparkles charmingly infuse the happily ever after prints! Irish Stars, new from Modernly Morgan, would be the perfect pattern to showcase the prints!

Fabric $13.49 per yard, pattern $13.00  See these online...
