WITCHS NIGHT OUT!!

Witches love any excuse to have fun and throw a party and the party is this weekend, Friday & Saturday, October 25th-26th. Ladies...join your fellow sister witches for the 13th year of Witches' Night Out.  Wear your most elaborate, crazy, fun, whimsical witch’s hat or witch's costume. Gardner Village will be filled with enchanting witches from 6 pm to 10 pm both nights. Enter the drawing for fun prizes at 7 pm and 9 pm nightly. Also enjoy dancing, music, food booths and more. Enjoy spellbinding activities in our shops, and join the Witches' Parade at 8 pm nightly. Join in the dance finale at 10 pm at the main stage. Leave the children with the sitter and grab your witchy friends for this spellbinding ladies night out. Ladies 18 years and older encouraged.
 
Parking your broom can be hectic this time of year. Due to the huge increase of traffic for Witches' Night Out, we must hire professional parking attendants. There will be a $5 per car parking fee beginning at 10 am on October 11th and 12th and October 25th and 26th. This parking fee ONLY applies to these four dates during October. Receive valuable Village coupons when you park. An alternative option to parking would be to take the train. There's a TRAX stop across the street from Gardner Village.

A NEW DROP OFF & PICK UP LOCATION

Every Saturday from 10am - 11am, Wendy from Eagle Mountain Quilting will be here at Pine Needles for you to drop off and/or pick up your quilt tops for machine quilting.  Wendy will be upstairs in our class room to allow plenty of space to spread out your quilt tops and discuss design options, as well as plenty of space to view the beautiful work on your completed quilt tops.  Click here to visit Wendy's website to view her design options, gallery and more.

Knits are IN!!!

I was so excited when I popped into the shop the other day and saw the new fabulous Riley Blake knits. I immediately knew a maxi skirt would finally be mine!  Now just to decide what color? Aqua stripe, Yellow chevron, Navy....how will I decide.  I made a mental note to pop online and see if I could find out how to sew one up and then to my surprise I stumbled across a super easy tute on Riley Blake's cutting corners....

Love how they show how versatile this style skirt is, great for all ages and all sizes. Click on over to Cutting Corners and check it out.  

Thank's for stopping by. If you have any tips for sewing with knits I'd love to hear!
