Hello Everyone,

A couple of things happening here at cool cottons ( other than of course some big shipments of great new fabrics)   We will be closed on August 19th, 20th and 21st  (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) to have our steps repaired. The concrete was badly damaged over the winter and we need to fix them before they deteriorate even more.  If all goes as planned (fingers crossed) we will re-open on Saturday, August 22nd with new and safe steps. We are also looking at putting in a handrail on the lower steps, but that is a little down the line. 

cool cottons is now a drop off center for a great charity that donates pillow cases to kids in the hospital with cancer and other serious illnesses.  You can either make the pillow case yourself, or donate fabric that volunteers will use to make them.  There are some guidelines the organization would like you to follow regarding size and packaging, so if you are interested in helping out visit www.conkerrcancer.org  to see the details. Then just bring in your pillow case(s) or fabric and cool cottons will get them to the folks that deliver them to the kids at the local hospitals.  Now thats a cool way to use up some of your stash!   

Now that summer is winding down, we’ve been talking with our teachers about fall classes. Watch the classes page on the blog to see the most current schedule and let us know if there is anything you would like to see added.  www.coolcottons.biz/classes   If you have a group of 3 to 6 people who want to take a class together give us a call and we’ll talk to the teacher about working around your schedule. 

Are you getting our newsletter by email ?   If you are signed up but have not received this past newsletter from us,  and are seeing it for the first time here on our blog  please re-submit your information on our news page   www.coolcottons.biz/news   Some of the addresses we have may be out of date, or maybe we guessed at the address because we  couldn’t read the writing  :o   so consequently  we have had  a few undeliverable messages.   Also, let us know if you receive our newsletter multiple times….we may have more than one email address for you.  The last thing we want to do is spam you!  : )

Thank you all for making this a great summer at cool cottons. Hope to see you soon…

Yippeeee…we are only in the 90’s…… still too hot for me, but better than our near record 106. So, once again the lights are out but we are open!  We finally received our big shipment from Westminster, new Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably that are such gorgeous colors and prints, so worth turning the lights on for.  Also some new Shot Cottons and multi colored Woven Stripes…. The shelves are full again so all is right in my world.
