Dear Sewing Friends October and 4th Quarter! I just don’t know where time goes! I guess all the fun and planning we do for the events just makes time fly. Our next quarter line-up is amazing! We start with our Creative Applique October 16 & 17th. We have gotten 3 projects picked out that are just too cute. As Susan says, “stinkin cute”. More information follows. The first week of November brings us the “Sew What’s New” this year! We are welcoming Joyce Keske back to show us some fun projects. And of course our Open House is the first weekend in December and it is also the Silhouette Event with Terri Johnson of Silhouette! Be sure to check November’s Calendar for changes in Clubs to work around the event and the Holiday.

Our Designer Diamond Dare ends Oct. 31 and we are so looking forward to seeing the creativity of the participants. And one of those lucky people will take the Viking Designer Diamond Deluxe home! And as you can imagine, we have been working on the 2016 events. We definitely want to do different things to keep it all interesting. We can’t wait for it to be confirmed so we can start sharing with you.

Our monthly Embroidery Classes have gone very well last quarter. This is the one for anyone who wants to embroidery the technique we are showing. If you did not buy your machine from us then there is a charge and a kit fee. Only a kit fee if you purchased your machine from us. It will be offered once a month with a different project each month.

Russ & Ken who keep your ma-

chines purring & scissors sharp

December 4th and 5th will be our annual Open House and this year we will be cele-

brating our Silhouette Cameo event at the same time. Terri Johnson the Silhouette

representative will be here educating you and inspiring you to all the benefits of the

Cameo. It is $75.99 for the two day event. There will be limited space for Saturday

as you will bring your Cameos and those that sign up first will get to “do” rather

than watch.

I want to share with you that Nancy Zieman, Eleanor Burns and Martha Pullen all

need your prayers. Each one is going thru personal illnesses. Martha with her

granddaughter. They have all given us so much and hopefully can overcome their

diseases. With our prayers they will have a better chance.

Those of you who have been following Creative Sewing awhile know that every year

in August, Babylock has an awards dinner in St. Louis and we find out where we

ended in December of the last year. We started in business in 2001 and have been

in the top 10 retailers ever since 2003. 2014 we ended the year being #2 Retailer-

single dwelling. That is completely from the support you give us and we can never

say THANK YOU loud enough or often enough.

smocking class

Our customers tell us that our classes are informative and great fun, and the only disappointment is not being able to take

them all. We pride ourselves in providing the finest instruction at the lowest possible price.

Your place in one of our exciting classes is reserved by full payment of our class fee. All class fees must be paid at time of

signing up for the class.

It is disappointing to all when we have to cancel a class, or when the class you want to participate in has already been

filled. Therefore, we ask that you please register early, as there is both a minimum and maximum number of students per

class.

To receive a refund for a class you have registered for, you must cancel at least one week before the first class. No refund

will be given for late cancellation or no show. Please ask for a supply list at the time of registration. You may wish to wait un-

til the class has been confirmed before purchasing your supplies. Do arrange before class time to have all of your supplies

and be ready on time for class to start.

Unless a class is specified as a children’s class, no children are permitted in class. Cell phones must be turned to the

“Manners Mode” or vibration only during the class. Thank you for your cooperation with our class and club policies.
