Secrets of a Quilt Shop

Click on the thumbnail to see the Monday Night Ladies. (standing along the back: Pat, Stephanie, Judy, Jeanette, Karen and Betsy.  Up front is Cece and her husband Dick, me (Kris) and the Baby (Ella.)

Yes, we have secrets!  Here are a few of them:

  • Would you like a class just for you?  We need a minimum of two people to schedule a class.  Call a friend and set a date with us!
  • See us at the show!  Click here for our Event Listings.
  • Have you been in our bathroom lately?  There are secrets in there... (but no, not clues to a mystery quilt or the map to a buried treasure.)

Here are some pictures taken after a snowfall in January 2006.  Click on each one to see it up close.  Warning: they are very large.  I left them that way so you could use them as wallpaper if you liked them.  To do this, just right click on the large picture and choose "set as background".  If you get a sun symbol in the lower right hand corner of the picture, you will need to click on that first to enlarge the picture to its full size.
