Spring Musings Hello from sunny Arizona! I don't know about you, but the sunshine and warmer temps of Spring have helped me recalibrate and have a renewed sense of motivation. We have a busy month ahead of classes here at the JEM, make sure to scroll down to see all the fun things going on in the shop! We even added a new Learn to Sew class for adults with Pam where you will get the basics of your machine and sewing before jumping into a quilting or bag making class. We are into month four of our Sister Sampler Sew-A-Long and can't wait to find out what happens next in our Sisterwood story! Haven't started yet? It's not too late! We have a few kits remaining, so you can jump in anytime! Also, don't forget to register for the Mug Rug of the Month! As always, stop in and share your latest project with us. We love seeing what you've been up to! |
