New Classes

Wow! Fifteen ladies participated in the Ohio State Sweatshirt Jacket Class last week. Due to the popularity of this class, we have scheduled another class for Monday, November 12, at 12:30 pm- 3:30 pm or 6:00 pm - 9 pm.



Several of the ladies, they will remain anonymous, made jackets for every day use. Students chose either a panel or focal fabric for the back of their jacket or they made the Block "O". The cost for the Jacket Class is $25.00 plus supplies and sweatshirt. E-mail the shop for class supply list or visit the shop to see the options.



We will also be having a "Fun Nite/Wool Applique" class for Thursday, November 29, at 7 p.m. I am working on the sample. As soon as the sample is made, the class costs will be posted. The class cost will include a pre-cut wool applique kit.

Fabric Sale

We will be having a Sidewalk Sale on Friday September 7 & 8. We will be selling our "Old Dog" fabric for $2.50 yard. Stop by to visit and see what all we drag out of the garage and sale room and mark down to yard sale prices. We'll be cleaning the fabric room and selling fabric, some valued as high as $9.00 yd., for $2.50 yd. There will be patterns at $2.00 each, these sell for as much as $8.00.

High Street is closed between Fair Avenue & Sixth Avenue. If you approach the store on High Street from the North, keep coming as far as you can and detour around the closed section. Just go right one block on Fair to Broad Street. Go left at Sixth Ave. You'll be able to park beside the store.

If you are coming from the South and turning off of Main Street, you can make it all the way to the store.

Jacket Class

Learn how to contruct a jacket from a sweatshirt. Students will complete the back in class and learn how to complete the jacket at home. Class date is September 20, 9am-12pm or 6-9pm, cost is $25.00. Pre-registering is required by calling the store, 740-654-4853. Supply list available upon request.

Fall and Christmas Kits

We have several new kits at Farmer's Country Store. We have the "Boo Kitty", Warren Kimble's "Winter Village", a new Santa panel kit. Stop by our store or visit www.farmerscountrystore.com to see the new kits. Fabric is being added weekly to the web page.

Webkinz Craze

We're a gift and quilt fabric shop, but the latest craze is the Webkinz. These cute stuffed animals are the latest craze the kids want. With the purchase of a Webkinz, the child logs onto a computer and adopts his new pet. They can then play games, earn points, and correspond with other Webkinz their friends own. We have a large selection now including the latest hard to find Black Stallion and Black Lab. Give the shop a call to order or reserve your new pet. They're going fast. Tel. (740) 654-4853, 10am-5pm EST.

New Christmas and Halloween fabric

Yes quilters, the Christmas and Halloween '07 fabric is arriving daily. Yesterday I unpacked a beautiful collection from the designer Anna Griffin. Anna is known for her scrapbook paper designs. She's put her designs on fabric. Her new Christmas collection "Grace Christmas" is a beautiful vintage collection featuring Victorian Christmas trees, Santas, and more. I've sent the list to our web hostess, "Hattie's Workshop". She should have this collection up in a week or two.

We already have many of the new 2007 Fall and Christmas collections posted on our web page. We have "Snow Village" from Moda that is a winter toille. We have "Let it Snow" designed by Ohio's Deb Strain. This collection has a panel along with coordinates. Look for these fabrics under the "Moda" listing.

Benartex has a beautiful Christmas Nativity panel and coordinates for 2007. This can be seen on our "Other" fabric list.

Thimbleberries has a new collection called "Christmas Street". I ordered the patterns for this collection and they should arrive soon.

Fresh & New

Abbey is home from college for the summer and has been busy painting the old paneling a new fresh cream color. Makes all the new beautiful quilts and fabric show up much better. Shirley has displayed the antiques from her family on the display shelves that are close to the ceiling. She eliminated the clutter on the shelves and the antiques are now more visible. We've had a carpenter come in and make more shelves for fabric. We're working on organizing the fabric and re-hanging the samples. Please stop by and see the difference. It's a nice clean look.

The holiday days will be here before you know it! We have added new fabrics and quilt kits to get you started on the Christmas gift giving!
and Don't forget to stop by the store for our Open House on Nov. 25-26!
