IT'S NOVEMBER 2016!

How did that happen? I haven't blogged since December 2015! Almost 1 year! Need I say it's been a busy year? I won't start with excuses... I apologize for keeping you waiting. Onward...

Have a look at the Christmas Ornaments 2016 page; I've posted the submissions; far fewer than last year. Because our ornaments didn't start arriving until later in the fall, we changed the deadline for submissions. With a few days left before we start voting, I'm hoping our customers will come through and deliver. Deadline is December 1st at the close of the day. Voting will start December 2nd and will end on the 9th. Winner will be announced on the 10th and the sale of the ornaments will begin.

The Viewer's Choice award is a fabulous prize:

GRAND PRIZE

1 pair (small) Perfect Scissors by Karen Kay Buckley

8-fat quarter bundle of Christmas fabric

1-spool Aurifil sewing thread

3 skeins of Valdani Perle Cotton #12

1 pkg Chenille needles

This year, the moneys raised will be gifted to the Imagination Library, a very worthy cause bringing books to young children. Help us with your generosity when we start the sale of our ornaments.

Lolah has been extremely busy this year... She's about to be joined by Louie who will be here soon taking up the ever-growing waiting list. Louie will accommodate king-sized quilts. Watch for his arrival!

Which leads me to announce the long-awaited CLOSURE: MARK YOUR CALENDARS:

December 18th- January 16th

SPRUCE IT UP QUILT SHOP 

will be closed for renovations!!

We'll be updating you here and on Facebook as work progresses and if the re-opening date changes. 

Stay tuned... keep on stitching! Keep watching for new ornaments... mark the date to vote... only once per viewer please!

thank you,

Lorette
