Grand Opening Enjoyed a Fabulous Turnout

As we blast through the first month of 2015, I’d like to share a few tidbits from our January Grand Opening at Fabrics Galore and Quilting Store.

Our Grand Opening was a success. The weather was perfect. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a wonderful attendance from the Quilting Communities of the North Georgia area. A big THANKS goes out to all of our fans and customers for your support and kudos. We’re thrilled to have successfully traversed this big event!

Many of those who attended our Grand Opening celebration enjoyed our refreshments and especially the homemade cookies. We received many requests for the recipe which we’ve posted below!

Gradually add flour mixture to creamed butter and sugar, and mix well.

Next, stir in pecans. Refrigerate until chilled.

Roll warm cookies in additional confectioners’ sugar;

Cool completely on wire racks. Roll cooled cookies again in confectioners’ sugar.
Bake 10 min/batch yield 4 dozen
Caution: don’t handle cookies while hot, as they will crumble.

Wait until just warm to coat with confectioners’ sugar.

As a reminder, we’ll be adding several new classes to our calendar so watch for the updates and if you’re subscribed, you’ll receive notice of the new classes that we add and a sign up form – since there is limited seating for each class.

More to come!
