Club News

Everyone is welcome to any or all of the

great clubs we have at Midwest. They

are all FREE and you will receive a

15% discount on all regular priced notions,

vacuum bags, belts, and cards

purchased the day of Club. Bring your

projects finished or not to share with

the group! Come and bring a friend.

Embroidery Club

All machines welcome

Mary Boone

This club is an opportunity for

all to come no matter what type of

embroidery machine you have. All

brands are welcome. Embroidery

is pretty much the same on any machine.

If your friend has a different

kind of machine, have her/him

come with you.

I am making a couple changes

in the Monday and Saturday embroidery

clubs. We will still meet

on the same days, but the Sat club

will be at 9:30 instead of 10:30

A.M. This will give us time to

work on a project. The Bits and

Pieces will follow embroidery club

at 1:30 P.M. Whenever possible the

projects will be a part of both. The

following projects are planned for

this fall. You will need your sewing

machine and embroidery unit for

the Saturday clubs if you want to

work on the project. Don’t forget

your sewing supplies also. Hope to

see you at club.

Thread Arts Club

Virginia Jennings

This club is for anyone who sews on a

sewing machine or serger of any brand. I

will have a new project every month and

instructions to take home. Bring your

show and tell items and put your name in

for the door prize. Sometimes we will do

the project at the store and I will always let

you know when to bring your machine.

We share ideas and tips at every club

meeting and we always make new friends.

You do not need an embroidery machine

to participate in this Club! If we do some

embroidery and you do not have a machine,

I will make arrangements for you to

use a store machine. Wouldn’t it be fun to

try out some of the machines in the store?

See you at club.

Embroidery Quilt Club

Virginia Jennings

This club is free and meets the first Thursday

of every month at 9:30 am at the

Downtown store, 111 Pattie. Some of us

are working on the Simon’s Folly quilt and

some on the Latte Quilt. More and more

quilts are having some embroidery in

them , but you do not need to do embroidery

to join this club. We meet to fellowship

and encourage one another in whatever

quilt we want to do. You will see

some beautiful quilts being made and we

want to see what you are working on. You

will get new ideas and new techniques;

sharing of patterns and fabric is encouraged.

Each meeting there will be a door

prize, so be sure to get your name into the

drawing.

If you have been thinking of buying an

embroidery machine, now would be a

good time. Not only will you learn how to

use the machine, but have an Heirloom

quilt to show for your efforts. At Midwest

Sewing you will find Embroidery/sewing

and Embroidery only machines at all price

ranges and terms to fit your budget.

Please call the 111 Pattie Store at 262-

3438 or the West Midwest Store at 722-

9737 to sign up for this class .
