Retreat/Workshop coming...
Sorry it has been so long since my last email, but things have been hopping busy at the shop. The Waco show was a wonderful success and the Superbowl Fat Quarter sale was great. Thanks to everyone who come out to support us, we really appreciate it.
For those of you who have not had a chance to come in lately, I am off to the other side of the world again. I will be leaving soon to go on a 15 day mission trip to Hungray. I am very excited to see what the Lord will be doing over there. My friend Lynn is going with me and looking forward to traveling with her and getting to know her better. Please pray for us while we are gone that we will have safe travels and the it will be a productive trip. The shop will be open regular hours, Jammie Ackley (My right hand buddy) will be keep the fort.
Now for some exciting news. Jammie has organized a wonderful workshop/retreat. It is open to anyone. The trip frame is a little short so pay attention to the deadlines if you are interested. If you have not gotten to go to one of these retreats, they are wonderful and loads of fun. Below in the information about the retreat and Jammies information is you are interested.
