Hot As Can Be

Have you thought that it is as hot as can be lately? Well, I think that we have been lucky that it is not as hot as it has been in some parts of the country, some of them at more than 100 degrees for 30+ days in a row. I am not asking for that, believe me! I am grateful for not having to live in that. We in the south have been made accustomed to living in air conditioning, thank goodness. People who are not equipped for the blazing hot summers are really suffering. I heard of one family who moved all the mattresses to the largest open room in the house and everyone is sleeping on the floor to catch a cross ventilation. I am thankful that I can pay a power bill and be cooled to less stressful temperatures. I can even do my sewing while I am being cooled. Are you taking advantage of being inside to do some of your sewing? We have gotten a number of holiday fabrics in so that you can begin your gift making and holiday decorating while you are closed in. Come by to check out what is here. We are coolly waiting for you.

H&C Feature of the Week: Thread
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we are featuring thread for sewing and quilting. Buy four spools of thread (any brand) and get the fifth spool of equal or lesser value free. That means you can have all one color or five colors. Some cotton and some polyester, or not. Your choice counts. Mettler or YLI. Gutterman or Robison Anton. Konfetti or WonderFil. Remember that good thread helps to create a good quilt or sewing project.

In the Name of Progress
In the name of Progress, and it is progress, we will be affected by the upgrade of the sidewalks in the Town of Central very soon. We are going to be the happy recipients of new curbing and sidewalks and streetscape on our side of the railroad tracks very soon. You will have to watch for how to approach the shop and how to carefully enter the shop as the crews are taking up sidewalk materials and putting down new sidewalk construction. We will get curbs and crosswalks and more marked parking all down Madden Bridge Road to the Central Roller Mill. Hopefully this will move along very smoothly and we won't be disrupted for a long time. Watch Out!! A New Stop Sign is going in at Madden Bridge Rd. and Bank St. This will make driving safer and easier at our corner. Don't stay away during this time; just come with a cautious eye for entering the shop.
