Sunny Thoughts
I am back in the shop and have hit the ground running! Our time spent as a family together was wonderful, but Dorothy had it right...there's no place like home! 

Looking at the week ahead, the shop will be buzzing between the various classes and Lucky Sevens Virtual Shop Hop. Looking forward to May, there will be new classes like Intro to Foundation Paper Piecing, Punch Needle class, and Sue Spargo Chirp class. Keep you eyes on the class schedule to know what's coming up.
