And Sew On... May 6th, 2019

As I briefly mentioned in last week's "And Sew On...", we were so blessed with having all 3 of our kids and their families converging on our house in celebration of our niece's wedding! With only one family being local and the other 2 living in California and Wisconsin, having the entire herd under one roof was somewhat unusual!
Because of this convergence, we jammed an early birthday experience for
Mr. Clarkson into the weekend as well! I think Debe would also consider it a late birthday gift for her or an early Mother's Day celebration! With the wedding being the catalyst to bring us all together, the extra fun was the icing on the proverbial cake and enabled us to spend time with our 3 amazing kids and their families! This trip was more adult-focused while the grandkids were well cared for. It was truly a great time enjoying spending time with them as friends reminding us how blessed we are as Mom and Dad!
As I spend many hours weekly in my car, a high percentage of those hours are spent listening to talk radio, and over the last several weeks there has been a steady barrage of radio hosts shouting from the rooftops, "Don't Forget Mom" encouraging listeners to send a bouquet of flowers from one of their sponsors. This week I'm going to join in the chorus "Don't Forget Mom"!!! If mom loves flowers you know what to do, if your mom loves to quilt we have the perfect gift!
How about a signature Arizona Quilts gift certificate by one of our favorite Moda designers Deb Strain! These fun certificates are so cute that one of our customers received one last year and she still hasn't redeemed it because she loves the way it looks! Even if mom is not local and you send her a gift certificate in her card, she can redeem it online by calling the store.
Soooo whether you deliver it, mail it, or bring her with you to redeem it...
"Don't Forget Mom"!
Happy Mother's Day Quilting!
