A Thread-aholic in Colorado

Cyber Week going on NOW!

 

Sale ends Nov. 30, 2021. •. Click Here for Details

We carry a large variety of sewing & embroidery machines; sergers, too!

Our inventory is strong and we have a machine that will fit your needs.  Remember, free unlimited machine lessons, store discounts and more, when you purchase a machine from First Stitches Pueblo or First Stitches Cañon City.

Don't forget, we are OPEN on Mondays.

Before I had the quilt shops, I would do most of my sewing/quilting on the weekends.  And it never failed, I would run out of something I needed and there were no quilt shops open on Sunday.  But the whole kick was, most quilt shops were closed on Monday, also.  So when I started First Stitches, I was determined to never be closed on Mondays.  I know how frustrating it can be, to have worked all weekend on something and then have to wait until Tuesday to get what I needed OR run all the way to Colorado Springs to get it.

So since we have been in business, we have been open on Mondays (except for Holidays).  And we will continue to be open on Mondays.  Because I know how important our sewing and quilting projects are.

So I found this panel I liked...

A wonderful new line from Quilting Treasures called Snow Bear Village.  I love the panel that came with it; and the colors with a whimsical motif! So something snapped and I snatched a panel and told the girls to cut me a little yardage before I left the shop on Friday. 

I had no idea what I was going to do, but all I did know – it was going to get done this weekend.

I usually spend my Sundays in church in the morning, then working on the website, the upcoming promotions for the week, laundry, cleaning, and generally getting the house, and the store, and myself ready for the week to come.

Sunday was a little different this week, however, and I just had to accomplish something sewing.  So I did.  I need to get it quilted, but here's my Sunday afternoon quilt.  (my housework will have to wait until another day)

 

 

The Rocky Mountain Shop Hop starts Thursday!

Whether you are a beginner or expert quilter, or even curious about quilting, this adventure might be right up your alley.

The Annual Rocky Mountain Shop Hop begins this Thursday, August 5^th and runs through August 21, 2021.

This year, The Rocky Mountain Shop Hop will feature “Colorado Favorites” at the participating quilt shops, which range from Denver to Pueblo, Colorado.  Each shop will have unique quilts and projects that are based around their Colorado favorite activities and events, and they will be on display at each store. 

The participating Colorado shops in 2021 include, Treelotta in Englewood, The Creative Needle in Littleton, Holly’s Quilt Cabin in Centennial, High Prairie Quilts in Parker, Sew-Ciety in Castle Rock, Sew In Tune in Monument, Ruth’s Stitchery and High Country Quilts in Colorado Springs, Na-La’s Quilt Shoppe in Fountain, and Stitcher’s Garden and First Stitches in Pueblo, Colorado.
