This Quilt Sale Will Have You in Stitches!
Christianne Dettmann
You and EYE shouldn’t NEEDLE lot of prodding to HEAD to the SaddleBrooke Sunrise Rotary Club’s first-ever QUILT SALE on Tuesday, Oct. 28, and Wednesday, Oct. 29! In fact, why not PIN those dates to your calendar now, because they will be upon us all SEW quickly … even though they might still SEAM many days away. Also, because this sale is taking place just down the BLOCK (relatively) inside the patio room of the nearby Sunny Side Up Café (which is BASTE in Catalina at 15800 N. Oracle Road), there’s no good reason KNOT to come BIAS and BOBBIN between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on either day to find the quilted treasure of your dreams!
Truly, this is NOTCH your typical quilt sale and could be the perfect way out of a BIND as you seek unique and thoughtful holiday gifts this season! From baby-sized blankets to king-sized bedspreads, there is something for everyone in this unique collection. Nearly 30 meticulously-sewn quilts and several other stitched sundries will be on HAND and available for purchase. Further, why not pay a TENSION to your tummy by treating yourself to a breakfast or lunch PLATE in the Café while there? Your THROAT (and our gracious sale room sponsors) will thank you!
Some quilt styles are more traditional, while others might go a SHADE against the GRAIN, but all look SHARP and were crafted by Sunrise Rotary Club member Dave Dettmann and his late wife, Grace. For a sneak peek at their handiwork, stop into the Desert Life Pharmacy in SaddleBrooke, where one adorns the wall of each of the two patient rooms (note: those are not for sale, but several similar ones will be).
So, whether you drive, PEDAL, hitchhike, use both of your WALKING FEET, or find some other FREE-MOTION way of getting there, we believe it will be worth a DARN to come and make one (or more) of these one-of-a-kind keepsakes your own! You can NAP well knowing the SaddleBrooke Sunrise ROTARY Club will TUCK all proceeds from your purchase directly back into the community through the Mammoth-San Manuel Unified School District and the Arizona Families F.I.R.S.T. (Families In Recovery Succeeding Together) program.
