Classes Kelly Ann is proud to announce our first
three classes: Quilting 101-Beginner's Machine Piecing taught by Chris Fowler; Fruity Redwork taught by Cathy Konoza; Stack-n-Whack taught by Chris Fowler. Sign up at the
store any time until 5 days before your class is set to begin. Class
details are listed on our online
class schedule. All classes will be held upstairs at
our store. If a class
does not fill sufficiently before the deadline date, students will be
notified of the cancellation and refunded their class fee. We'll keep a
waiting list for each filled class and notify those on
the list as space becomes available. We'll assess your feedback as we plan our
next set of classes. Suggestions are welcome. We
hope to see you at our first classes, and the many more to come! Old Book Exchange
Kelly Ann is adding an exchange to our book and
pattern lineup. Bring in your old books and patterns and swap them with any other used book or pattern in the bin on a
one-for-one basis. You never know what treasures may be lurking in another
quilter's collection! If you're looking for a
home for your old publications, even if you're not interested in
taking another home with you, bring them along on your next visit. Yummys for
the Tummys
Let me share one of my favorite recipes to help
make you the "star" at the next pot-luck.
Kelly Ann's Famous Brownies
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. In a heavy
saucepan over very low heat, melt two squares semi-sweet chocolate
and eight tbs. butter. Remove pan from heat and stir in one c. sugar. Beat
in two eggs and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Quickly stir in one c. shopped walnuts
or pecans, 1/4 c. all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Spread batter in a
well-greased 8x8 baking pan and bake 35 - 40 mins. Can be topped with
melted canned frosting or Cool Whip. Project Corner
Start the summer off right and pretty! Look in
your stash for some bright fabrics to add to a fun pair of flip-flops as a
treat just for you or your best friend.
Using pinking shears, cut fabric into strips 1"
wide and 6" long. Knot the strips tightly onto your flip flops straps and
you'll be the toast of the town. The only thing keeping your feet from
being the star at those family gatherings is your imagination! |
Store closed for Warrenton Spring Festival
Saturday, May 21, will be Warrenton's Spring
Festival. As in previous years, food vendors will be arrayed along South Fifth
Street, out front of our store. While this is good for bringing foot
traffic our way, the smoke-laden scent coming from those griddles and
grills will bring to our fabric a long-lasting reminder of the day. Nobody
wants burger-scented fabric for their project, so we'll keep the doors
shut for the day and enjoy the Fair with the rest of Warrenton. Kelly
Ann's will re-open the following Monday as if it had never happened. Sale Rack!
Lets face it, we all like things on sale. Kelly Ann's now has a sale
rack with 25% off selected fabrics. Keep an eye on this rack, you never
know what you'll find!
Phone sales
We've had questions about this, so: for customers outside our local area,
we'll happily sell fabric and notions by telephone with a credit card, and
ship the products US Mail. We'll have to charge sales tax for Virginia
delivery addresses, and shipping will be USPS Priority Mail rates. We will
add a charge for insurance, at your
discretion. Give us a call at 540-341-8890 for product pricing and
availability.
We'll also take your order in person, at our store, for shipment elsewhere
on the same terms.
Fabric line of the month
Each and every month, Kelly Ann decks out her front table with a selected
line of fabric, with samples and kits as accent. We post the featured
fabric of the month on the front page of our web site, so give it a look
when you turn the page on your calendar.
April's feature was Watercolors, and for the Red Hat Society's visit to
Warrenton on April 25 we had a special feature of reds and purples. What
will May bring? Think revolución!
Kelly Ann's Closed for Memorial Day
