We had a wonderful and productive retreat this weekend in Banner Elk!

Mark your calendars! Our quilt show is coming up in May!

Many of you know I like to do quilts with embroidery. One of my favorite vendors is Crabapple Hill Studios.

Crabapple Hill Studios is closing permanently. Meg Hawkey posted the information on her page. She says to watch for great sales as they close down. She posted on her website 2 nice free downloads today.

Just wanted to let everyone know in case you are interested in getting any of her patterns.

I haven’t posted a horribly bad selfie in a LONG time, so here ya go!😜
Guess what? This March will mark the TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of Crabapple Hill . Now is the time to make some important decisions. I’m old… I’m kind of tired… NO I’M NOT DYING! My breast cancer is actually responding really well and I feel good! I just am realizing that it’s time to slow down. Phil and I are downsizing drastically and our whole place is for sale… barn and all. I’m going to retire. It’s time to wind Crabapple Hill down and stop. Our retreats for 2025 are cancelled and Gwen is methodically contacting everyone to refund deposits. She’s taking it slow so we don’t make mistakes or miss anyone, but she’ll be contacting you if she hasn’t already. We’re going to have some SUPER pattern and floss sales in the next few weeks, and I’m working at purging 25 years of decorative “stuff” that we’ll be selling during at least two barn sales. Turns out all these years I’ve been an organized hoarder so there’s a huge amount of goodies that we’ll need to get rid of. I hope that everyone within driving distance will stop by for the sales so I can give you hugs and say how thankful I’ve been for your business and friendship over the years. I’m going to have to buy a lot of Kleenex. I love you all and I’m so stinking grateful to all of you💕💕💕it’s been so much fun. I don’t regret a single minute!🩷
