Dear
Ladies,
I'm hoping everyone had
a happy and relaxing Fourth of July! Is it me, or does everyone feel like this
sort of marks the halfway time for summer? Seems like it just got here, and now
it's halfway over! However, it also marks some exciting things happening in our
sewing world!!
Hopefully you know by
now that Lace Cottage has been purchased! If you don't know the good news, let
me be the first to tell you!!!!! Our own Vivian Sturks and her partner
Phyllis have decided to keep the legacy going! They are in the process of
restocking merchandise and changing locations.
As of now, it looks like
Lace Cottage will be relocated to a space off Exeter off Poplar. The
driveway right after Germantown Rehabilitation Hosp. and straight to
the back on the right. Previously a hair salon. It is all freshly painted and
remodeled and best of all, has classroom facilities!!!! So it's basically just
at the opposite end of where we were before. I believe the target date is
mid-August, but I think this will be posted on the Lace Cottage Facebook page.
This is a huge step in
anyone's life, so let's not forget to support our local shop when they
re-open!!
So, Just when we think
all is lost, it seems miracles do happen!! Thanks to Vivian and her partner!

Wee Care Gowns – 4th
Tuesday of Each Month from January –
October
Please bring in any finished
(or unfinished) Wee Care gowns and be prepared to take home some new ones! Our
next Wee Care workday at Lord of Life Lutheran Church (Poplar Pike) will be Tuesday, July 28 from 9:30 am – 2:00 pm.
If
you can come for all or part of the day, it would be a great help. We need folks
to bring sewing machines to sew the
outfits that have been pinned. Kudos to those 9 ladies who helped at June’s workday: Amy Johnson, Regina Sanford, Jane Soffos, DiAnne Drennen, Jane Gross, Glynda Whitlow, Marty Cobb, Connie Scott and Susan Batson
