Summer is ending
Summer is on the way out and we head into fall. I love when the leaves change their colors. It makes such a beautiful background
for projects. It seems we hardly get into our fall projects when it's time for Christmas projects. I always seem to
be at the last minute doing the Christmas projects, all the while promising I'll start earlier next year. Along with
summer ending, I am also losing a wonderful fabric store. The store I have been teaching in for many years is closing it's
doors next week. Bad economy and personal reasons have forced the owner to close the store. I've made many sewing friends
at the store and I've learned so much from teaching there. It's been a great experience teaching at the Fabric Chest and I
will sadly miss the store, the owners, the personnel and all my wonderful ladies that have supported me in taking my classes.
So I'm moving on to other locations, meeting new friends and having new experiences. Check out my class pages
for new updates on classes and where they will be.
This summer I worded on Scrap Therapy projects, a really cute
Holiday Redwork Quilt, some Jenny Haskins projects (look for the Heritage Quilt to be a class starting next year), and lots
of embroidery projects. If you haven't sewn in a while, get that machine out of the closet, dust it off and then get creative.
Until next time - Happy Stitching - Sandy

Welcome to Stitching and Fringes! I have been in business since 2004,
and I pride myself on providing customers with the best-quality products and personal service. I would be delighted to have
you in one of my sewing classes. Please check the calender for a listing of my classes. You can also order from me using
the on-line contacts page or contacting me by phone. I offer beautiful Christening gowns and other heirloom items for
purchase. I have been sewing since I was 9 years old. I started by sewing a simple skirt in our local 4-H
club. After many years in 4-H I started sewing for my home, then my children and now my grandchildren. When my first
grandson came along I just had to have an embroidery machine. When my granddaughter was born I started sewing heirloom garments,
starting with her Christening gown. I love to do heirloom sewing which includes Christening gowns, heirlooms for babies, linens
and even wedding accessories. I have attended three licensings classes with Martha Pullen in the heirloom curriculum as well
as the serger curriculum. I recently attended the first Jenny Haskins Academy of Certified Tutors and I am now certified
to teach as a Jenny Haskins tutor. Most of my classes are held at the Fabric Chest in Glen Burnie, MD. I teach
the Bernina Artista Software, advanced embroidery, heirloom and quilting classes.
I take an enormous pride in creating my products, and hope that you'll find something in my catalog that you like.
I also can create custom orders; call or email and let me know what you want. I look forward to doing business with
you.
