I do hope all is well in your lives. Around here we are in a slow down as far as the shows go. A little r&r before the next cluster. Gives us a chance to catch up on family and sleep.

If you have too many quilts and not enough time to get them quilted, well I have a solution. I am promoting a new long arm quilting person who is not completely booked up as yet. She's good, meticulous and is ready to quilt your quilt. If you are interested and need complete details, please email me at spool@uniquespool.com.

The new FabShopHop is starting July 1, 2004. You too may win a sewing machine or a serger. Click on the BUNNY on our site to learn all about it.

Pieces in the Rockies has past. Storming, wet, rained buckets. Great show nevertheless. Left our coats in Vacaville. The weather at home was in the 90's and coast just was not on our minds. Bought a piece of scrap leather at a shop, cut a head hole in it, laced up the sides and stayed dry and warm enough.

Next show is in August in Santa Monica, CA. Great place to vacation. The show is the Fabulous Fiber Fest, August 20, 21 and 22 at the Santa Monica civic Auditorium. Weaving, spinning, knitting, crochet, embroidery, doll making, bag making, rug hooking, braiding, bobbin lace, tatting, quilting and much more plus demo all day, unique fashion shows ( one is call "Show Woof Night" showing off hand made things for pooches.)

Shipments will be delayed while we are out of town but will get your packages out to you as soon as we can.

Need more info, email Roberta at spool@uniquespool.com.
