As 2013 comes to a close, we are so thankful for our many blessings. Our new location has allowed for a variety of new items as well as more room for friends to congregate. Chris and I have been so pleased with the positive response to our move. Thank you for all the nice compliments and encouragement given in the last six months. With the New Year just around the corner, we are looking forward to new classes and welcome our new teachers with their new and creative ideas. We invite you to come see the new creations in the classroom for inspiration. One of the best things to happen to our classroom in a long time will be arriving soon. We are so excited to have Pfaff machines supplied by Boyd Walker. These machines will be available for your use in class on a first come, first serve basis. Pfaff has long been a pro-duction leader of great machines and the new Passport is the perfect machine for today’s sewer. Lightweight and with built in IDT (even fabric feed) these ma-chines are sure to be a hit in our classroom. We’ll let you know their exact arrival date in our weekly email. In closing – I want to thank all our great and suppor-tive customers. You all are truly like extended family and have helped make 2013 our best. Here’s to a crea-tive, colorful and bright 2014! See you soon, Lynn
