Greetings from Minneapolis!  Last year during this same week, I flew into Minneapolis enroute to Camp Cotton, but they lost my luggage.  I am very happy to report that I had a great trip on Southwest Airlines and arrived on time, intact, and with luggage!  Yeah!!  We got to see the new Ruby and 5D software preview last night and they are exciting!  Later today we will get to play with them and learn more about the features.  Connie will have a 5D demo to compare and highlight the differences when we get back.  We will let you know when in next week's update.

 

Below is a photo of the Happy Hollow Designs Scarecrow Fest Trunk Show.  Be sure to stop in and check it out.  Trust me, the picture does not do it justice!  There is just too much to fit in one small photo.

 

 I rearranged the shop a little bit before I left, and we now have a purse section where all of the purse samples, patterns, handles, snaps, etc. are all displayed together.  I also added a lot of Thimbleberries books and patterns to our $5 basket.  Some of the books in there are marked at $20, but they are now $5 until they are gone.  I also added Thimbleberries patterns to all of the remaining Christmas Street quilt kits, which means that the patterns which were $9 are now included free with the purchase of a kit.  There are a few left that we would like to move to make room for new fabric coming soon!
