Amazing Grace, How Can It Be?

Have you seen the movie, Amazing Grace? You should if you have not! It is great! Just let me tell you that we are open for business now. Our shoppe will be reopening January 2nd at 8:30-4:30 Wed. thru Sat. We were open a few days this past week, just to let the public know we are here!! 19 N. Sycamore Street, Lebanon Ohio 45036 513-932-2742. Whoosh!
We will be offering classes starting in January,the first being the Underground RR sampler quilt that will have 12 blocks in it to finish over the next year together. We have tons of ideas and want to be an encouragement to all we meet. There is also open sewing any day all day, unless a class is in session. We are offering 1800 Reproduction and 1900 vintage fabric, along with notions and finished quilts. We also have a longarming "arm" of the business to help our customers and families finally get that quilt top done!!so they can be using it. Check out oldgloryquilting.com soon for an update on our classes and events planned.
We also have a quilt frame up with a 1910 schoolhouse quilt on it right now, come in and set down and stitch on it with us! What an honor to help that hardworking woman from our past get her quilt done almost 100 years later; she even has it marked perfectly for us!
So, this is our announcement that we are here!!
We were waiting until my sisters' son Matt was married, we didn't want to take any attention away from Joanna and him.
We have been working hard for over a month now on the shop. There is still tons of work to do as my husband Gary is turning the attic of the 140 year old livery into a loft apartment for us. He will be working in Xenia in the ER as a nurse while I "work" in the shoppe, we will return to northern Indiana on the off days.
God is so totally in this , Lori and I are so "amazed" with His Grace!!
We have already started to make great friends and it is just exciting to see God "work"!!
..Our motto in the shop is Fun, Food and Flaughter...come in and ask us what that means!!
Have a very Blessed and safe Holiday!!

As Always! Quilted Blessings! Karie and Lori
