Blessings!

Olde Glory Quilt Shoppe is a place of blessings~! Our customers! Wow! Lori and I are so amazed at the support and interest in our "quilting journey"!
We had our first day of beginners lessons and we felt they went well. Our gals got to use our machines and complete their first block on the sampler. We decided that if the new quilter wants to complete other extensions of the beginners' class by the end of 3 sets of lessons the quilt would be complete that is in the lesson book! and what a great feeling that will be by the end of 2008! plus any others classes they may pick up on the way through!
Saturday the Underground RR took off from the "station " also. Lori started the first block with Underground RR, similiar to Jacobs Ladder. One gal decided to do the 12" pattern and one did the 6" block by hand. So you see, quilting can fit into your needs and desires! And you can join in on the samplers any month! We think it would be fun to have a block party, that would be teaching one block at a time~ideas anyone?
Next month we do start the Civil War Legacy. It is also a 12 month sampler of the 1850-1860 blocks chosen per Kaye England in her book. The quilter can use the machine or piece by hand, the pieces are small so it will be your decision. Whatever works! We have no rules at Olde Glory, just to enjoy and laugh....alot!
Bob, from Lebanon, also blessed us Saturday with a visit with his quilt of the 9-11 Memorial Quilt. He made the 1st one after the tragedy and now he has completed a second one with all the names embroiders onto it and hand quilted by Himself. He will take this one to a museum in Virginia, in his hometown...how awesome and what a work of dedicated love! He is a true American and patriot! Thank you Bob and his wonderful wife...such an awesome couple!!
Thank you again if you have visited our shop, we have had over 160 people come to see us in January. God Bless You all and if you haven't some by yet, please do.

We are also planning a quilt show on our front lawn this coming year, be watching for news!!

We changed the hours to 10-4:30, since our customers seem to show up at 10a.m We just weren't sure when we started what times would work.... Our days are the same with Wednesday through Saturday.
Keep warm and enjoy working on your projects.
Quilted Blessings! Kari and Lori
