Thank you to all who have participated in our 2nd annual winter "Quiltin’ and More” Retreat. We had a group of 19 ladies, quilters and crafters. Sponsoring such a well received program is very rewarding to us. Your energy feeds our energy. Currently, we are maintaining a waiting list for this popular retreat. The “Quiltin’ and More” Retreat is held at the Countryview Inn, south of Charm, Ohio. We met in a wonderful, well-lit sewing room overlooking the rolling hills of Amish Country. The hosts Paul and Naomi Miller provided most of the scrumptious meals. (All meals and lodging are included in the retreat fee). We used all lodging rooms except for one this year and anticipate all being used next year. We already have all rooms reserved for next years retreat, with many of the rooms already full. Make your reservations early at Hearthside Quilt Shoppe if you are interested.
Dates for the 2009 Retreat are: February 9 – 13 2009.
We added an extra day this year!
If we have enough interest Hearthside will be hosting a 2nd retreat for quilters. This will be a 3 nights, 4 days. The cost is to be determined.
It will be held in February or March of 2009
Email or call us if you are interested in attending it.

Join together to make quilts for those in need.
Project Linus is a wonderful program designed to bring gifts of comfort and love to those in need. Once a month we are hosting a sewing day to make quilts. These quilts are distributed locally to hospitals, police and fire departments, and women's shelters to be given to women and children in our area that stand in need. The quilts bring not only warmth, but also the knowledge that someone cares and wants to help.
Can't stop in to sew? We have a special Linus Project you can take home and work on at your convenience. Don't Quilt? Knitted and Crocheted Afghans are also accepted. No time to make anything? Donations of tops, fabrics and batting are a great way to clean up your work room and help out a great cause!
Join a group of quilt ladies making quilts for Project Linus. Bring your project, sewing machine and supplies or work on one of ours, cutting, piecing, knotting and binding. Come for a few hours or bring your lunch and spend the day. Free – just call to sign up!
Wednesdays: Apr 16, May 21, Jun 18, Jul 16, Aug 20 10:00 am – 4:00 pm (3rd Wednesday of the month)
Stop in and sign up to get a FREE Paint Bucket with ½ yard of theme fabric to make a Project Linus Blanket.
Join us again in making a mystery quilt, each year we have a great time seeing the beautiful results. You can sign up anytime in the month of April for this FREE Club. The first clue will be available on May 1st. Bring in your finished step and get your next step. May 31st will be the last day you can pick up your final step. After you pick it up, you will be able to assemble your quilt, have it quilted (or do it yourself) and then bring it in by July 26th. Prizes will be awarded for the first quilt brought into the shop and for Viewer’s Choice. Remember: your quilt needs to be TOTALLY completed—that means quilted and bound. We want to set up a gallery for a week, August 1 - 9, so everyone can vote on their favorite. At the end of the week, we’ll count the votes and award a “Viewer’s Choice” prize to the one with the most votes. FREE!
