Amy Butler's NEW book- at Sowing Sisters 
Hi from Beckie-- I'm finally taking a few deep breaths- after a very, very, busy July. We had our 10th anniversary quilt run (shop hop), the New Long Beach Quilt Festival- and we welcomed a new Grandson. All good things and NOW --- back to more of our Quilt Shop routines - classes, fabrics, new books and patterns.
Speaking of books we were excited to get Amy's new book-
LITTLE STITCHES FOR LITTLE ONES. 20 projects- Kerri, our bag teacher, is currently whipping up the diaper tote- very nice shape and ample space.
The September class schedule is available at the shop- and will be up on the website in a few days. Hope to see you soon at sowing sisters.
