September 2010 Newsletter
Our father, whom to this day, we have trouble living without, (can you identify?) had a few favorite pieces of music and the SEPTEMBER SONG was way up the list. We all took music lessons and since I was by far the oldest, had the first go at piano lessons. I wasn’t very far into it when Dad brought home a copy of the sheet music for the SEPTEMBER SONG and set it on the piano without a word. It had an orange cover, pale orange, and I knew he wanted my to learn it but he was too much a gentleman to verbally put that task upon me. The music was too difficult for me at that point and later, well I suppose I was into other things. A missed opportunity……
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
I had forgotten how melancholy the words are, but then that’s what Frank Sinatra was especially good for. But I do like the idea of spending time with people who matter, either in the shop or on the web. And all of you especially matter to us. And moreover, Kim is always coming up with opportunities for us to spend quality time together celebrating FABRIC!!!!
So let’s talk about FALLOWEEN at Just for fun fabrics all day on October 9. We will be sending you more information about this as the leaves fall, but for now, mark it on your calendar. For a sneak preview, there will be a quilt demonstration of Elizabeth Hartman’s delightful quilt, Crazy 9 Patch. We will have kits ready and a link to the free downloadable pattern. Also, get ready to display your favorite project. This will be more than just a show and tell. The most voted for project gets a prize!
