A BIGGER BETTER STORE
The Cutting Edge Quilt shop has MOVED!
Yep. A few weeks ago we got the message that the Cutting Edge had moved. Several of us visited the new shop and everyone reported that it is a Bigger, Better, Brighter place to bee. I spoke with Kittie and she said we are still welcome to use their classroom every month. So as usual we'll be there the 3rd Thursday of every month. Some people have expressed concern that parking could be an issue. Kittie has assured me that it won't be. To help you find your way there the address and map to the new location has been added to the maps page of this website. Kittie has asked for our help in decorating their new digs. Before you head out for this months bee take a few minutes to search through your button jar for unwanted buttons. Bring them to the store and you will eventually see them used in the store decor!
ALL THOSE SCRAPS
In the process of making comfort quilts for children we create a whole lotta scraps! For some time our scraps have been collected by Bonnie. She used them to make comfort beds for animals in shelters. Recently Bonnie has moved out of town and hasn't been sewing with us on a regular basis. So for the past few months I've been the collector of scraps and have made a few animal beds. I'd really rather be making comfort quilts for kids. Mary B has found a couple of people in her neighborhood that make animal beds for area shelters and she will become our new scrap collector. So bring your scraps and Mary will collect and deliver them to her neighbor.
Below is a picture of Avery on a bed made from some of our scraps. You may recognize the cover fabric, it was donated by Jackie and we filled it at one of our bees. Avery lives at AZ Rescue in Phoenix as she waits to be adopted to a new forever home.
