So... just in case you missed it in our last issue, we have officially released our new pattern, the Double Take but now sure isnt the time for us to take a break because next week at this time we'll be packing up the SUV for a big trip to Kentucky and the AQS-Paducah show!
So with that in mind, I'm going to get back to work while you get started on today's issue of "Bag Making is FUN"!

What Was I Thinking Back Then? |
|
|
|
I have such a large archive of writing on our website that sometimes I like to go back and see what I was writing about during a particular week in the past. And guess what? Turns out, rereading these posts brought back some really GREAT memories this time. I hope you enjoy them too!

AQS Paducah is Almost HERE!- |
 |
|
So... in less than 2 weeks we'll be in Paducah, KY in the midst of AQS's signature Quilt Show and I can't wait! But here's the deal... although Paducah's AQS show is fantastic, its the city of Paducah itself that makes this venue so unique and memorable. It's definitely a destination site that should be on the "bucket list" of all those who love to sew & quilt!
Click HERE to see a video that gives you a brief glimpse of what makes Paducah so special and I hope to be seeing many of you there in a few short days! (And don't forget, anyone coming to our booth wearing an SKD bag theyve made will get a 10% discount on their entire purchase!)

Has Tipping Reached a Tipping Point? |
 |
|
If you're in the U.S., you've probably noticed a sharp uptick in the businesses now asking you for a tip, thanks to touch-screen payment systems that are programmed to automatically suggest gratuity amounts. These days, it’s not uncommon to be prompted for a little extra moula when buying groceries, grabbing a coffee or picking up takeout. So when is it really appropriate to tip — and when is it okay to save your bucks, especially considering the rising cost of consumer goods?
