READY TO SHOP HOP?

Only 2 days until the beginning of the

"THE AMAZING QUILT RACE" SHOP HOP

We've been busy here at Delphine's with all the preparations...getting the block kits made, the finishing kits made, writing instructions for the block and the quilt, cutting fat quarters, knocking a hole in the wall...

What's that you say?  Yes, Delphine and Dennis knocked a hole in the wall and expanded the shop to the retail space next door.  It is so exciting and so big!!!!  This is what you see when you walk in the shop's front door...


It is still a work in progress, but we have moved all the sale fabric and sale items into the new space as well as the classroom.  With all the extra wall space, we have a trunk show from Big Fork Bay Quilt Company out of Montana.  They are famous for their animal patterns and fabric kits but also have these wonderful seasonal wall quilts.  They also sent us some of their Chicken quilts which will bring a smile to your face as soon as you look at them...Dancing Chickens?  Yep, they're dancing!!!


In this next picture, you see more of the chickens as well as Delphine's Shop Hop quilt, and the MQN raffle quilt.  What beauties!!


Here's a view of the sale portion of the room.  The curtains separate the "mostly done" section with the "not ready for prime time" section.  The classroom is in the front of this room closest to the windows - plenty of light and plenty of room for spreading out while taking a class or enjoying a club or just visiting with your sewing buddies.


This next photo shows one of our demos for the Shop Hop.  It's a very clever way to make placemats with pre-cut fusible forms, a charm pack, and an ingenious tumbler ruler.  You won't want to miss this!!



With all these new improvements, prizes, fun, refreshments, demos, you won't want to miss anything and we are just one of the six great shops on the circuit.  Passports are still available...get yours NOW.  Don't miss all the fun.  And don't forget, the best part, 15% off your entire purchase at any of the shops.

See you soon at the "THE AMAZING QUILT RACE" SHOP HOP



Keep on sewing,
Judy
