Don’t Miss Leap Day Specials
Posted on Saturday, February 25th, 2012, by Lisa Goodlin, the Web Gal
Leapin’ Leap Day Specials!
Join the gals for Leapin’ Stitchers on Wednesday, February 29, 7:00 am – 5:00 pm. That’s right, both stores will open at 7:00 am with lots of deep discounted deals. Many are one of a kind, so when they are gone, they are gone. Deals include books, patterns, fabrics, kits, and much more. Stop in early before you go to work, and stop in later because after 3:00, whatever is left will be dropped even lower.
For all of you early bird quilters, the gals will be offering coffee and doughnuts to sustain you, but just like the deals, when they’re gone, they’re gone. See you then!
Baby Lock Interest-Free Financing Days Through February 27!
There’s still time to get a great financing deal on a Baby Lock machine, but you have just a few days left. The Details:

Just bring yourself and learn to play with the Building Blocks. Other incentives to attend the workshops include drawings for free block kits and discounts on finishing patterns and kits.
No registration fees, no big rules. Choose your Building Block colorway:

Early Blooms Rug Hooking with Melonie Unger
Oswego, Saturday, March 3rd, 10:30 am—12:30 pm
Syracuse, Monday, March 5th, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm or 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Rug hooking is an old-fashioned craft that is gaining popularity again. Join Melonie and learn to rug hook with wool strips or needle punch with heavy yarn on a cloth base. Create a 17×17 floral mini rug or wall hanging. Begin with transferring your pattern onto the base cloth, then get busy hooking or punching your design! Experienced hookers and beginners will enjoy working on this project through out the winter. Fee: $20
Candice: The Perfect Purse with Kathy Barden
Syracuse, Saturday, March 3rd, 10:30 am – 4:00 pm
Candice is the perfect purse to carry all your things. Learn to make the innovative “Fat Pocket” with a faux gusset – it’s great for bulky items: a tablet, eReader, journal or simply to keep your papers, receipts, and coupons in order. The top is secured with a zipper while an outside slant pocket provides easy access to gloves and grocery lists. It’s practical and pretty too! Learn about working with fusible batting and interfacings, the use of “D” rings in handles, and “lazy girl” zipper insertions. Leave with an almost completed, professional looking purse and the knowledge to finish it at home. Fee: $35
Sew Trashy: Denim Duffle Bag with Gay Silkey and Melonie Unger
Syracuse, Wednesday, March 7th, evening class only, 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Denim is the perfect choice for recycling projects. It looks good, wears well and there’s always lots of it around! Learn to disassemble those jeans, cut your pattern pieces, and create a duffle bag. It’s a wonderful project and makes a great gift too! Fee: $20
