Hoppin Bobbin E-Newsletter

I have to say that I was really impressed with the Flying Geese Quilt Guild show this past weekend.  If you missed it, you missed a good one.  I know all of the ladies worked very hard to make it such a success and it really paid off.  They were all tired on Sunday, when I left, and they still had to take everything down.  If you know any of the members, give them a pat on the back!  They did an awesome job!


Hoppin Bobbin is excited to offer

“ A Year of Love and A Year of Fun Club x2.”

Mary Jane Carey (of Holly Hill Designs) and Leanne Anderson (of The Whole Country Caboodle) have teamed up to create 13 new sewing projects; and…… along with those projects, you will receive a recipe. What can be better than that? Sewing projects and food!! Who could ask for more? We have had such a great response to this club, we are extending the registration until Wednesday, October 8th. Pattern 
and kit pick up starts Saturday, October 11th.
