A Quilting Oasis

by Yvonne Lance-Jodoin, October 2011

It's another world when you go through the door

Away from everyday strife.

The Running Stitch, welcomes and opens its arms

To encourage your "quilting life".

Creativity smiles with a capital "C"

And surrounds you everywhere.

Inspiration floods the mind and soul

Quilt "magic" with a flair.

A colour paradise treats the eye,

An explosion of visual delight

Magnificent fabrics and "fat quarter" haven

Ensure you get it just right.

Laughs and smiles permeate the space

And invite you to proceed,

Where patterns, threads and notions galore

Will meet your every need.

The classroom is a beehive of activity and fun

With instructors extraordinaire.

Come and quilt by machine or hand

With professionals who care.

Embroidery skills can be your own;

Learn by hand or by machine

From simple pattern to intricate design

And everything in between.

The "Batte Cave" is ingenious

A self-contained display

Of batte fillers in different sizes

Shelves burgeoning with their array.

If you want a new sewing machine,

To give your old one a rest,

This is the place to make your choice

The shop that does it best.

To complete you "sandwich" masterpiece

Just to go the room next-door.

Longarm quilting with an artistic flair

Will enhance it even more.

So if you want to sew a fine seam

Or learn to quilt "in the ditch"

Don't wast any time; just make a plan

To visit The Running Stitch.
