We're Back!!!

Hi All,

As rumored, we are back in town!  And as you can imagine, there is a lot to do to get the shop ready for opening day.  We're happy to announce that things are moving right along and we will re-open the shop Wednesday, January 11th at 10 am!   We'll start out being open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm and go from there.  We can't wait to see you all so we can catch up!  See you soon!!! 

Hello

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We were able to go to Tulsa, Ok and spend the day with Tom's brother and his parents. It was a nice relaxing day and the smoked turkey was wonderful.

We have been in Coffeyville, Kansas working for Amazon.com since October 1st.
We have been working hard filling your orders and walking,walking and more walking. We walk between 15-20 miles a night and work 4-5 nights a week. We work either 10 or 11 hour shifts.

We will be back to open the shop during the week of January 9th. We will post the exact day soon but we need time to put everything back on the shelves.

We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and hope you get to spend time with family.

Diana, Tom, Isabel and Sadie

Coming Home!

Hello Everyone,

We hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer. We have had a great time working at Peninsula Family Camping this summer. We have been able to enjoy loads of family time with daily long walks for Sadie and many fishing trips for Isabel. Isabel officially won our family fishing competition. We lost track of the many fish she caught. She caught this huge crappie.
It was 1 1/2 lbs and around 15"-20" in length.



Although Sadie entered the race by catching a few as well. Too bad you never have a camera at the right moment.

We will be on our way home soon with our expected arrival in Idaho on September 19th.

We will be home for approximately one week. We have decided to spend a few additional months working for Amazon.com in Coffeyville, Kansas.

We plan to return to the quilt shop in January. We have not worked out all the details yet but we will return with new ideas and a new schedule.

Please don't hesitate to keep your emails coming and let  us know what you are up to. 
We look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Diana, Tom, Isabel and Sadie
 

Fishing!

Hello everyone,

Sorry we haven't had any posts lately. We have settled in to our duties here and have gotten out a bit as well.
We work 24 hours/week together helping with all aspects of campground managing. Diana usually helps with check ins, registration and the camp store. Sometimes she is allowed to assist me in doing the rounds. I check/clean restrooms, pick up trash and clean sites between campers.

We have been having a family fishing competition which Isabel is winning hands down. I have lost track of her fish count but Diana is happy to report that she finally caught a fish. (3 fish)

 We had to take a fishing boat out on the lake at 6 am to find these bass, but it was worth it.

We have been studying Gold Mining history with Isabel. We have made it to Sutter's Mill, Empire Mines and Malakoff Diggins. It is great for Isabel to see the actual locations where these historic events took place. 

Take care and we look forward to sharing more of our adventures later.

We are in California!

We have made it to Peninsula Resort in Grass Valley, California. We arrived last Wednesday and are very glad we left early. We had beautiful weather on our trip down. This is Rollins Lake. 


This is the campground area. We are in a more wooded area. This is just down the path from us.


We finally found out how to wear out Sadie! She is loving the long walks and being outside with us all day.
She still need some training in manners as she still doesn't like anyone else petting her.


Just 5 days left!

Hi All,

Just a quick note to say we're down to the last 5 days of the sale.  All 44-45" fabric just $4.00 a yard and all notions 50% off!  Now is the last chance to stock up at these prices!

The last day the shop will be open for the season is Monday, May 2nd.  We will close Monday at 6 pm.

Thanks for all your well wishes!  Our web site and blog will remain up while we are gone and we'll be posting updates as we get them along the way.

We look forward to seeing you all very soon!

Tom and Diana

Big Announcement and an even Bigger Sale!!

 

"Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use it.
You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it you can never get it back."
 - Harvey MacKay

Hi Everyone,

As the above poem suggests--time is precious! And as time goes on, Diana and I are realizing that there are many more things on our to do list than time will ever allow! It is for this reason that we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close the quilt shop for the summer season in order to make time to pursue our dream of traveling and work camping. To this end, we are excited to announce that we have very recently acepted an offer to work this summer as campground hosts at Peninsula Family Campground at Rollins Lake in Grass Valley California. Diana and I are also fully aware that time flies. We need to be in place at the campground in California on May 15th at the latest and that doesn’t leave much time!

We also realize that our departure for the season will cause a bit of an inconvenience for some of you who have come to rely on our shop to meet your quilting needs and we truly appreciate the support you have shown while we’ve been open. As a way to say thank you and in an effort to help you stock until we return, we’re offering an inventory reduction sale while supplies last. Everything in the shop is marked at 50% off. This means a majority of items in the store will be at, or below wholesale cost. This will be the only markdown sale we will have before we close for the summer so come early to get the best selection.

When we return in the fall (late October/early November), the shop will have a new approach with a new look, new ideas, new programs, and new inventory! We hope to see you all very soon! 


                   
                                                                                            Very Sincerely,
                                                                                            Tom and Diana
