HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

My New Website at http://www.arttowearoriginals.com/ is now available.  This website shows many of my clothing designs that are available in my retail shop and on line.  The other site at http://www.stclairoriginals.com/ featuring fabrics and clothing is also now online and has a shopping cart so you will be able to shop in your PJ's.  I am still adding items to the stclairoriginals website every day, so hang in there- soon all will be organized-I promise!

Finally getting a little warmer this week, so I am getting more in the mood to make Spring Clothes for the big Fashion Show!

Still hard at work trying to get the new website up and running.  Many, many fabrics to photograph and catalog....will it never end!

Looking forward to warmer weather this week and the incentive to make Spring clothing for the Fashion Show.  Hard to think Spring when you are scraping ice off the windshield each morning.

Shop is closed on Thursdays during February.

Thought for the day:  Quilting - it's cheaper than Therapy!

TUES FEB 8

The http://www.stclairoriginals.com/ website will be off the internet for a few days to get a totally new look.  I'll post when it is up and running again.

Our Weekly Hint:  When threading your bobbin, use a medium to slow speed.  Running the pedal at full throttle heats up the thread and stretches the thread as it winds so quickly.  Then when you sew with that bobbin the thread relaxes in the seam-often giving you puckers.

Happy Sewing

Looking forward to getting my new website up and running on Monday.  Then I have the huge job of adding all the fabrics to the new site.  I'll post when it is up and running.......

I gave up jogging for quilting because my pantyhose kept catching on fire! ....I loved that saying....especially if you see the cartoon picture that went with it.
