              Sale of ornaments Dec 1st... but you can reserve your favorite anytime; just send us a private   message.

REMEMBER the proceeds from the sale of the ornaments is matched by SIU and we'll be gifting The Brain Aneurysm Foundation. My oldest sister died of a Brain aneurysm... age 63! Too young!!

And what can the viewer's choice creator win??

A beautiful basket of goodies valued at around $140

We've added a few extras to the list already in our announcement! The basket/rope bowl was made by Norah in a workshop at the Sackville Quilt Guild and suited the purpose very well... New use for decorating! 

So don't be shy... offer us a beautiful ornament and these goodies could be yours!! We're waiting...

Toodles,

Lorette

WINNING ORNAMENT!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your ornament is superb!



Thank you so very much to everyone who donated an ornament or two or three... it was very difficult to choose... they were all lovely!

The ornaments are now ready to sell... $10 each and if you wish you can increase the amount... all funds collected will be matched by the shop and the donation will be made to Victoria's Quilts, an organization that provides a comfort quilt to anyone with a cancer diagnosis. It's very worthwhile and they are in constant need of supplies, fabrics, backings, and batting. Last year in our province alone, they gave out over 900 quilts.

Be generous! Visit the Ornaments 2019 to see which have already been sold... they make a great Christmas gift! Then contact the shop or message me to reserve yours today!

Again, many many thanks!
