Hi Everyone,

My new phone # at home is 705-549-1060, please feel free to call if you need anything.

The Patchwork of Hookers next meeting will be on the "Georgian Queen" on Tuesday July 24, 2007 from 1:30-5:30pm, bring your hooking, your friends and a smile. The boat will be leaving at 2pm from the Penetanguishene Town Dock at the bottom of Main St in Penetang. Hwy 93, turns into Main St. so just follow it to the end. If you want to attend please give me a call at 549-1060(the store) or home 549-6624, if we have 20 people in our group our rate will be $20 if not it will be $25 each. Hope to see on board it's a beautiful cruise.

The store is carrying the art work of Cathy Earles a 3D stainglass artist and watercolorist, her cards come to life with her paintings of fish and her favorite fishing spots as she is an avid bass fisherlady. Her stainglass sailboats and schooners are beautiful would add to any decor.

We have Sandy Gows fibre arts, she is well known in our area for her beautiful quilts. She will design outdoor patio cushions to match your decor. Sandy has also taken up rug hooking and has applied that to her creations as well.

Donna Light is a local soap maker. The store has a lovely aroma thanks to her. The soaps are long lasting and have a delicious aroma. She also makes herbal teas which will also be available soon.

Gayle Moon has delighted us with her wire art jewellery. She has always had a flare for what looks good on us ladies and she hasn't disappointed us with the jewellery. (Alot of you may know Gayle from the Lindor store as she is the manager there.)

Kathy Stewart has brought is some of her beach bags and totes. A delightful accent for the beach. She has been a local nursery school teacher and has now turned her hand to sewing.

I guess I should mention myself, I design rugs and kits for the rug hooking and also do folk art.

We will also be getting work from George Varney(lead glass artist), Gayle Thompson(stainglass artist and teacher) and Ann Hallet(we actually have some of her Maple Leafs on sticks and rug hooked stars already)

Some of the artists will custom make items at your request so please don't hestitate to ask us if you are looking for a unique piece.

We also have a good selection of yarns in and rug hooking supplies, alittle bit of everything.
So hope to see you soon,
Have a great summer, Karen
