More tops for charity! Info in the previous post!

01/31/2026

I have been retired for about a year and a half and didn't do much the first year. But I did enjoy being lazy!

I have started sewing and these pictures are of charity quilt tops I have done using some of the scraps left over from 32 years of shop samples. (Believe me when I say you would not even notice a dent in my scraps!) The tops are all crib to small lap size. A church group in Boxholm, Iowa, (west of Ames) will tie the tops and donate them to charities of their choice. A friend of mine is a member of this group.

It's that time of year again and even though I have closed my store front, I'm going to host a team again this year for the Especially for You race!

Sign up before September 2, 2025, before the price goes up!

Race Day - Sunday, October 5th!

It's a great cause supporting local women's health.

The shop is finally cleared out except for the bigger items I couldn't move in my car! (My house on the other hand is a disaster!) I had one bad moment or two when I took my perpetual wooden calendar off the wall for the last time. It had hung in the same spot for 32 years and had been a going away present from my co-workers when I left Colorado. It "only" took me 7 months to shut the door for the last time! It feels good, but I'm also a little sad. My niece and I have started setting up our Etsy store. It will be a little while but I will post it here as soon as we open. Thanks again for your support these past 32 years! I'm so glad I took the chance and opened Connie's Quilt Shop!

This was the group that walked as Connie's Quilt Shop at Lowe Park last year for the Especially for You Race. It was too hot to wear the t-shirts! This year is the last year I will host a team. We still need at least 3 people to sign up to get the Connie's Quilt Shop logo with "Retired" on the back. The sign up price goes up at midnight Saturday, August 31. Please join us one last time as a group and help support a good cause.

I have been cleaning out the store! Makes me a little sad. (And it echoes in here now!)
