QUILTS OF VALOR

Ruth Stonesifer

Sundays - 10-4pm - July 19, August 16

We are looking for quilters, piecers and longarmers to work together on this very heart-warming project. We at Byrne would like to recognize the sacrifices of our brave armed forces personnel and contribute to the efforts of Quilts of Valor. These very special quilts are being sent to wounded armed services personnel at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC, and are a great project for beginners and experienced quilters alike. Join us - whatever your level of experience - for a fun and gratifying day! And, if Sundays just don't work for you, consider making a donation to the special fund we have established to help defray costs of this incredible undertaking. Thank you all - again!

Q2 "SEW" RELAXING

Join us as we open one of our classrooms up to anyone who wants to come in and sew or quilt or whatever. You'll have a place to spread out and work to your heart's content - away from the phone and other distractions of home. The coffee's always on so bring your projects...and a friend or two and lunch and we'll provide the space and any number of folks to offer an opinion or advice on your current project! And...as we envision this...we might just throw in some informal tips, techniques or sneak peeks at upcoming cool stuff. "Sew," come kick back and spend a relaxing day (or part thereof!) and stitch away! Limited seating - call early to reserve your spot!

1 session - $5
Almost every Friday! - 10-4pm

Hunters Stars are always eye-catchers!
