PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN MY EMAIL ADDRESS!

Our national office has moved to Stockton, Missouri! The move is complete and everyone is settling in. Orders are being shipped and the store is stocked again. The 30th Anniversary t-shirts will only be available until June.
I know our Tucson temps are soaring but blankets are still needed! Stay inside and make blankets!!
Scappy Sewing With Patty is back!! Registration has begun and will continue until the final pattern is released in June. The cost is $20 and you can sign up on our national website, www.projectlinus.org. Click on the Scrappy Sewing With Patty logo and follow directions. The first patterns plus 2 bonus patterns are available to download. Every other Saturday morning, another pattern is made available for a total of at least 9 patterns. If you designate our Tucson Chapter when you register, all of the $20 fee will come to us. To those of you who are already signed up, Thank You! I think the patterns are colorful and fun so please consider joining the group!
We need a few more of you to sign up to reach the goal of 1800 registered! If we reach that goal, another free pattern will be published. You have until the end of June to sign up!!
The Knit & Crochet Along will be pushed back to October of 2026 with sign ups beginning in September. Watch for that information as the date nears.
The new office in Stockton has a space available to use as a mini retreat, free of charge! It has room for 10 sewing machines, a lounge area and a small kitchenette. The office is near a great Bed & Breakfast with a wonderful view of the lake. Stockton is about 2 hours from Kansas City and about 1 1/2 hours from Branson. If you would like to organize your own retreat, please contact either Rene or Patty for more details.
Patty is already looking ahead to a retreat in the spring of 2028! I will share the information when it becomes available.
