We are very excited about our new classes beginning this month. We have several new techniques and are revisiting a few old favorites. We are attending Sewposium of the second time. This is a conference for shop owners only. We got a lot of new ideas here last year and from the brochure we know we will come back with several new ones this year. We will be doing the Mystery Quilt again starting in March. We had over 25 people do this quilt last year. Only the sixty shops that attend Sewposium have the pattern. Take time to sew, Winona and Heidi ·············································································································································· 1925 Adams Avenue Store Hours Huntington, WV 25704 Monday 10:00 – 5:00 304-429-0050 Tuesday 10:00 – 8:00 866-317-5100 Wednesday 10:00 – 5:00 www.sewmanyblessingsquiltshop.com Thursday 10:00 – 8:00 [email protected] Friday 10:00 – 6:00/Saturday 10:00 – 3:00 Closed Sundays EXCITING NEW CLASSES We are happy to be offering several exciting new classes.

If registering over the phone or e-mail, you must have a valid credit card. Receipts and class supply lists will be mailed to you.
