"T-Rag" - our self-propelled sewing machine cabinet!

The 2009 Christmas Parade was the second event for our little contraption.  Sporting his new signs and Christmas decorations, T-Rag performed just fine again.  This parade was shorter and slower, which was a plus, but there wasn't any time that the progression stopped, so T-Rag could only spin in a circle every once in a while on the run.  Comments and reactions from the parade viewers indicated that T-Rag was entertaining to most viewers.  It was great fun, and we look forward to doing it again.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the 4th Annual "Quilter's Day" Quilt Show hosted at the Pioneer Townsite in Frederick, OK!  There were 86 quilt items brought in, including a tote bag decorated with fabric trimmings held in place with tulle & thread (no glue).  A very creative idea!  There were several quilters doing machine and hand sewing during the event this year, and the visitors really enjoyed watching the action again!  The weather was cool in the morning, and a little breezy in the afternoon, but nice.  We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves, and appreciate the wonderful comments that we received from the attendees.  We were glad to be able to provide the event for our area Quilters.  Our special thanks to our volunteers for their work in making the event happen.  This event is truly "put on by Quilters for Quilters"!  Plans are already underway for the 5th Annual Quilter's Day the fourth Saturday of October next year!                        ThayerRags Fabric Center

You can see most of these additional Historical Quilts on permanent display at the Tillman County Historical Society's Pioneer Townsite Museum Complex during normal visiting hours year-around.  Please stop by and visit.

Introducing "T-Rag", our self-propelled sewing machine cabinet!

The 2009 Homecoming Parade was the first event for our little contraption, and T-Rag performed just fine.  The only problem was that the parade had a "stop and start" type of pace, as many do that make stops to entertain groups of onlookers.  The stops were great fun!  T-Rag could spin in circles, back up, and have a good time showing off.  But then, when the parade began moving again, the pace was faster than T-Rag could go.  Still, it was great fun, and we look forward to doing it again.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the 3rd Annual "Quilter's Day" Quilt Show hosted at the Pioneer Townsite in Frederick, OK!  There were 77 completed quilts, quilt tops, and quilted items brought in, plus one "sleeping chicken" (Linda's cute little fabric chicken).  A new feature this year, was the ladies doing machine and hand sewing during the event.  Visitors really enjoyed watching the action!  The weather was beautiful, making it a very enjoyable and relaxing event.  We hope that everyone enjoyed themselves, and appreciate the wonderful comments that we received from the attendees.  We were glad to be able to provide the event for our area Quilters.  Our special thanks to our volunteers for their work in making the event happen.  This event is truly "put on by Quilters for Quilters"!  Plans are already underway for the 4th Annual Quilter's Day next year!                        ThayerRags Fabric Center

2nd Anniversary Sale!

While we've been in several parades through the years on horses or motorcycles, this was our first parade in which we entered a "float".  As you can see, we didn't put much effort into it (or as much as we could have), but we were there.  And considering the weather was blowing snow, 32 degrees, and with a 20 mph wind, it's a wonder we were there at all.  But, you can't take the fun out of a parade with just a little bad weather, and we had fun doing it.  We hope to have more parade entries in the coming years.
