9/24 Newsletter
Cindy and I are all ready for the Asheville Quilt Show. New samples are finished. Fabric is folded and packed. This is one of our favorite weekends of the year. The quilts are always fabulous and we love seeing all our treasured friends again.
Cindy will be teaching Joseph’s Coat. (She’s tired of Jack’s Chain, so she picked another challenge.)
This one is from 1923. I’ve never heard of this. It seems that they did not have Velveeta, Ro-Tel or chips in 1923.
It was under the category of Cheesy Concoctions.

Farm News

Most of you know that Cindy and I live on a farm that has been in our family for 5 generations. We don’t know the first thing about a tractor but we know a good thing when we see it. Josh and Brandi Teague are using our farm to raise locally grown 100% Grass Fed Beef. This is the way farming should be done. They don’t use antibiotics or hormones. Pasture are regenerating under their watchful eye.
They ship beef all over the US. Check out their website, or find them on Facebook or Utube.
Call Cindy – 704-376-2531 if you would like to order anything.

Our address is 186 Page Farm Road, Cleveland, NC 27013.

Donkey News
I have put Lady Mary in charge while we are in Asheville. She will keep Mr. Carson and Wilbur in line. She has promised to “take names and kick ass”.
We still have a few spaces available at our Sanford show. If you know of a shop that you think would benefit from our show, please encourage them to contact us. We have always tried to feature local shops at our show, and this year we would like to make some spaces available for a couple of local long arm quilters. If you would like a space to show your work and talk to potential customers,
at a reasonable rate, please give me a call.
