Happy Fall Y'all!!

Fellow quilters, I have had many stop by and say they aren't receiving my newsletter. Please pass this along to your friends and let them know that I have been in contact with the publisher and they said to make sure you add info@tomorrowsquilts.com to your contact list as the setting on the internet change and what may allow the newsletter through today may block it tomorrow unless I am a contact. Thank you!!!!
We will be having Sharon Wilhelm here on Wednesday to kick off our Barn Quilt Trails Block of the month! I am very excited about this program! We still have a few seats available if you would like to join us on this coloring and embroidery journey!!
This month I was suppose to be in Corsicana, Texas on the 13 & 14 at their annual Quilt Show, however due to a glich with the programming I will not be able to set up there. However, I really enjoy this show and the ladies who sponsor it - I love all the hand quilted quilts and watching them quilt the next raffle quilt is always a delight so if you get a chance please go on over to Corsicana and visit! The show runs from the 3rd to the 23rd.
It seems that everyone is catching the Holiday spirit early and so we will be having some great promotions between now and Christmas - so be on the look out for emails coming during the next few weeks. I know that all of you are looking forward to Quilt Festival in Houston. The very next weekend Handi Quilter Educator Diane Henry will be here to teach us all about Handi Quilters, Quilting and Possibly...dare I say it? ....Thread!! I am trying to work something out so that Diane can come a day early and we can have a Thread Therapy Session with one of Dr. Bob's gurus about Superior Thread - please let me know if you would be interested in doing this so that I can get it on the books if I have enough interested participants for a class!!
Handi-Quilter is still offereing End of Season sales on their Avante and Fusion machines and I still have some Janome machines, as well as my Avante and Pro-Stitcher demos for sale. Please come see all the great things that are marked to move - I don't want to move things to the new store if I don't have to - better to just let them ship it!
So yes, the rumors are true I have been looking for a place to move as we are just busting at the seams here. I have found a place, but as of yet don't have everything firmed up, once I do you all will be sure to know!! The time frame for the move - I am hoping by the end of January if not earlier :) -but again nothing is firm yet.
We are rearranging the shop again as we have several new limes that have arrived they include:

The Conestoga Crossing program is a great educational endeavor as well as a gorgeous quilt. Each month you will get historical information about the era of the wagon train and America's journey west.
