Christmas School 2010 - Let the Sleigh Bells Ring - Day One!!

We begin as the first 12 quilters walk through the door, Christmas School, 2010. The projects are hung on the board in clear view. Enthusiastic quilters set up machines, grab a coffee and muffin and set to work. There are giggles and laughs, as the fun of the day gets into full swing. Noon brings a big lunch with homemade ice cream made by Linda. (It is so good!) 5:00 o'clock arrives and a tired but happy group is leaving, projects in hand, and a smile on their face. And we hear as they travel our of our site, what a fun day together and now a good night.

Happy Quilting

Autumn in the Smokies!

Hope you can see the beautiful picture of the red leaves. Autumn in the smokies, what a wonderful time. The leaves, despite the dry summer, are magnificent! Each season reigns with beauty but autumn with its splendor is by far the most outstanding. (We'll say that until the first snow and the mountains turn white.)

Visit us in the Great Smoky Mountain and stop by the Cherry Pit and let us know how you enjoyed the beautiful mountains. Happy Quilting, Jane

Cotton at the Cherry Pit!

Downtown Sevierville is unique in so many ways. One of the unique things that stands out each summer is the beautiful plantings that we have outside our shops. The gentleman who plants each of the large containers takes into consideration what each business sells. Since we sell cotton fabrics, he plants cotton in front of our shop and it has now burst open to reveal the beautiful white cotton. Thought you would enjoy seeing the beginning product that will end in beautiful fabric in our stores.
