    A foot. HaHaHa!!!
    The part of a sewing machine, close to the needle, that is lowered onto the material to hold it in position is called a FOOT. The lower part of the stem of a plant is called a FOOT. FOOT is a basic unit of rhythm in poetry. The bottom of a page is called the FOOT of the page Now on the

     : (  It is with great sadness I have to say the new teacher we hired to do classes this year has passed away in Dec. Thelma was a great teacher and has taught so many around the area. We were looking forward to having her join our team and she was so excited to come teach.
    We will miss her

    Special Note
    I’m sorry this is out late, as I had a family emergency and left town for 5 days, my mom found my Brother passed away in his chair and she then had a heart attack. Life has been a little messed up but we are getting back on track, and working hard to get the classes up and running. So please check out the calendar on the web www.mycountryfabricsml.com or stop by the store. Thanks for your condolences but let’s move on to a happier place Sewing!!! Casey

    Dear Customers, (you all feel like family)

    I’d like to thank everyone for their well wishes this summer, as most know I had gotten very sick while on a camping trip. It then landed me in the hospital twice, not fun, this put me so far behind in store, that we were unable to start classes in September.

    Then we lost Elizabeth for 3 weeks due to family emergency. It has been a trying time on the home front, but we have picked up ourselves and are moving forward, all are well for now.

    We will have serval classes starting in January, due to holidays we felt it better to wait to move forward.

    Heather has been a super busy minding the store, quilting and sewing store samples they look great.

    Our Mastery Classes are up and going so if you are back in town, done gardening, pack up your machine and come join the fun.

    See you all back at sewing!!

    Casey
