Laura's Corner
The calendar says it’s May, but Mother Nature is not so agreeable. We hoped to start outdoor maintenance projects the first week of April, now four weeks later we can finally start. This week, CP1 is getting a new entrance ramp and steps. Later we will get a new front and back door. May 11 we will get the keys to our 2nd Quilt Shop location and plan to be open by June 2 for the start of the All Michigan Shop Hop all June and July. We will hold classes at the new shop, but that won’t happen until this fall. If you have a one-day class, or 4-week class once a week you would like to take, please let us know.
Happy creating!
