November 21, Tie One On
“How underestimated is the effect of the smallest gesture of recognition by one to another.”
With this quote in mind “Let’s Tie One On” and be thankful at the same time! Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all we have. Not everyone may be as fortunate as we and may not be blessed with wonderful family and abundant food. Spend the day at O’Susannah’s baking bread and making a stylish, fun apron. After our bread is done and our aprons made we’ll tie them together with a note of encouragement and friendship and give our aprons to someone in need. Join us to TIE ONE ON and brighten Thanksgiving for someone who may be less fortunate than you! Chef Sandy will be on hand to keep a watchful eye so we don’t burn the buns!!

Secret Sisterhood of O’Susannah’s
Join the Secret Sisterhood and receive unexpected gifts of thoughtful poems, cards, small quilted items, a favorite recipe and so much more. Maybe you’ll become fast friends when your secret sister is revealed or who knows she just might be a friend you’ve known for years.
It’s easy to become a secret sister – you’ll receive a short questionnaire to complete and return to the store. We’ll randomly pair up the secret sisters and provide you with pertinent information (month and day of birth, favorite color, favorite quilting technique). Then the fun begins. Just drop off your gifts anytime during the month and your secret sister will be able to pick up her gifts whenever she’s in the store. The big reveal will be December 7 at 7:00 pm.
February 5-6, Dancing Flowers Weekend Workshop with Sharon Stroud
Enjoy two days with Sharon working on her original wallhanging design. Your class fee includes Sharon’s instruction and pattern, a light breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday.
Once the basic stems and leaves are appliqued, there is lots of room to use your creativity. Several different flower heads will be given, or you can design your own! Ruching can be used to create hyacinths and the centers of the Brown-Eyed Susans. Learn at least two ways of making round berries. My center circle has reverse appliqued circles to look more gourd-like. You can do ruching or a design of your choosing to customize
the center of this beautiful block. Learn lots of tips for handling outer points, stems, reverse and regular applique circles, and so much more.
Reservation and deposit of $50.00 for this class must be made by December 15.
