I made a trip to LaGrange for the "Fall Hat Show" on September 21st.  I had seen the Judith M advertisement in "Threads" magazine over the years, but never actually went to the shop to check it out.  What a wonderful surprise!  If you are in or near LaGrange, it is worth the stop to see all the neat and unusual items the shop has to offer.  All kinds of neat trims, feathers, ribbons, and beads for hats.  Finished Hat and Hats to finish.  Old and new jewelry along with hat pins.  For those of you looking for 'hat forms' she has a wide variety of sizes and styles.
The next scheduled events at Judith M are Thursday November 21 - "Holiday Open House" from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Furs Galore! with real and fine faux fur hats, bands, muffs, bags, mittens.  "Hat Tea Luncheon" will be held at M & N House - wear a hat with glitz and glamour.  Visit Judith's website at www.judithm.com you can also e-mail her at judithm@judithm.com

I found "Fun Fur" by Lion Brand Yarn in several colors.  An "eye-lash" yarn.   Great for accents.  Black and White  are pictured above.  "Glitterspun" (Lion Brand Yarn) is a soft metallic yarn that again would make great accents.  Try Manon's e-wrap finishes that are taught in Series 1 Workshop #10. 
Linda C and Mickey K from LaGrange discovered that Bernat's "Softee Baby" works great on the standard bed machine when you use your Garter Carriage.  The skeins are 4 1/2 to 5 ounces.  It takes just under three (3) skeins to make a G-Carriage Baby Blanket.  Readily available at local stores and the total cost is less than $10.00.
