Big News!  Looking for gifts for loved ones?  Crimson Tate :: Modern Quilter has two kinds of gift certificates.  We’ve got the run of the mill gift certificates that can be used for store merchandise, notions, and even classes and whatnots.  Plus, we are offering gift certificates specifically for sewing classes.  In the spirit of holiday gift giving, we are running a one day special on gift certificates to be used for sewing classes.  Purchase a gift certificate* for sewing classes or lessons at a 10% discount.  $45 gets you  $50 in classes!  Exciting, hey?  It’s a pretty swell gift for the person in your life that wants to learn to sew or perhaps they sew already but want to construct a specific project, like a baby quilt, in an awesome atmosphere picking up helpful tips here and there.  C’mon by!  We’ll hook you up on Small Business Saturday, November 26th.

*Sewing gift certificates purchased at a discounted rate may only be used toward sewing classes or lessons throughout 2012.  General merchandise gift certificates purchased at Crimson Tate are not eligible for discounts at initial purchase but are able to be used for all goods and services Crimson Tate provides.

Taking the Long Way Home

It is the rare occasion that I spend the day riding in the car with both of my parents, as I am 37 and they are divorced. Being reminded of fall Sunday afternoon drives, root beer, and pumpkin patches, today I got to ride in the back seat of my mom’s car while my mom made my dad tell stories of when I was little. I feel so fortunate to have this moment with them.

They are very hardworking and have encouraged me to dig deep and labor in my life doing the things that bring me the most happiness. They both wanted to ride along with me today when I went to see my dear friend Ginny who does long arm quilting for me when I’m overwhelmed. This moment seems right. It is slow, easy, and mindful as I drop off an armload of quilts that will end up in the hands of new friends that desire to pass along an heirloom of their worlds. My legacy is love. I love my job. I love my world. I am incredibly grateful.

A month ago I had the great pleasure of meeting a local gal (Danville, IN), Cindy Wright, who is the creator of Pattern Patti.  Through my door came a spirited woman with an arm load of sewn goods too cute for words.  Cindy is a pattern maker whose directions are concise, easy to follow, thorough, well written, illustrated, and just plain fun.  Pattern Patti is a cute, current pattern outfit tailored toward young mothers, new sewists, and the crafty inclined. We are pleased to join forces with Pattern Patti and to offer several sewing classes taught by the pattern maker herself.  Welcome aboard, Cindy!  We like your style.  We like your work.  We’re glad to be new friends!  Check out the new course offering on October 7th at our grand opening celebration.  RSVP here!  Feel free to bring along your friends!!
