A Time To Sew

Hi All,

I (Martha) am posting my first blog this afternoon as Dependable Debbie is out of town at her daugther's college graduation. This is kind of fun, so maybe I'll blog more often!

Debbie, Donna, Barbara, Janis who all work at A Time to Sew and I went on a little shop hop last week down to San Diego. Here are a few pics - we had a fun day. It is always so nice for me to get away from the shop for a day and to see what beautiful, creative quilt shops there are in Southern California.

I want to take a North Orange County shop hop asap. I especially want to see the new shop in Orange just opened by Lisa and Pebble called the Orange Quilt Bee. This new store should help serve the customers from Leah's Fabric Gallery which closed in December when Jack and Leah Pariser retired. Ron and I want to wish them the best of luck with their new venture.

At the store, we had a nice Mother's Day Tea for our customers. We served tea and cookies of course, and Lindy Martinez was here with her massage chair to give Free neck and shoulder massages. That was a big hit! We also had great discounts on merchandise and just generally had a lovely day. We will definitely do it again next year.

Last weekend, Ron and I were vendors at the San Fernando Valley Quilt Guild show. The show was held at the California State University campus at Northridge and the facilities were lovely.

We have exciting news - our web site is internet sales ready! Starting today, local customers can sign up and pay for classes on-line. In the next day or so we will be putting merchandise on the site for sale also, so keep watching!

See you soon,

Martha
