Sew-ology Gazette
April 2021
Dear Material Girls and Guys,
Spring is here and you will notice that it’s a slower education month here at Material Girls.
Amy has some continuing education courses she is completing this month so that is putting a kink
right in the middle of the month. However, it is the perfect time since the weather is turning warm-
er and the sun is up longer, many of you head outside and into the gardens. We don’t want you
to neglect the garden for a sewing class and we also don’t want you to be sad because you
can’t take a class because you are doing spring yard work. (Hahaha)
We are heading into our 18th year in LaPlata and in the quilting community. We would
have never imagined the “dumpster fire” of 2020 but we also would have never imagined 18
years with Material Girls when we started. It truly is amazing and we have you to thank. Thank you
for the years of support, encouragement, and the laughter. We are still not quite ready to do it
up with an in-store party but watch your email for the online store party and special in store sav-
ings throughout the month of April.
Thank you for your continued support and keep on sewing,
Amy, Robin, and Mike
