We will be starting our classes in September for stained glass, watercolor, and wool (knitting, crocheting, and spinning). I will try to keep up to date with all the new classes being offered monthly. We will also offer kids classes which will be different every other week - offered on Saturday mornings and Thursday afternoons. The first class will be learning to use the Lucette. It is a fun way to make bracelets, purse handles, necklaces, dog collars, etc. Use your imagination. So, just stop by the store and sign up for your class and get your class supply kit today. Hope to see you soon and have a great day!

For the Love of Wool
This is a wool gathering for those who love to play with wool. You may come and knit, crochet, dry felt, spin, or whatever your heart desires with wool during this time. This offers the advantage of seeing what others are doing with their wool and allows others to help troubleshoot when you get stuck with a difficult stitch. We will gather on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month starting in September.

For information on any of the above classes, please call 419-617-7201 or email info@mattersoftheart.com. Thanks, Stacy

Good Morning,

We are heading off Allegan, Michigan to a Fiber Festival for a short overnight visit. Hopefully, we will get some new ideas to share with our fellow fiber lovers.

Our newest item we are adding to the blog spot is pictures of some of the artists items for sale in the store. We will be adding a new artist regularly so be sure to stop by and check out what's new and exciting!

Today, we are featuring Luc Hargis. He has hand-painted journals in various sizes. He will custom design a journal for you for a small additional fee. Attached are a couple examples of his awesome work. To see his work in person, purchase a journal, or to custom order - just stop into the store.

Hope to see you soon!

Shane & Stacy
