Page 2 Spilyay Tymoo August 23 New fabrics and more at Sew Dee-Liteful The Sew Dee-Liteful Quilt Shop offers a colorful array of fabric and sewing supply options for any and all occasions. And lately, shop owner Davida Plaisted has been ordering new Native American theme prints, all very beautiful. Just recently, she adds, “I’ve made two wing dresses.” Ms. Plaisted wishes to thank the Warm Springs customers for their support. She hopes the shop saves on some driving time for people who are looking for new fabric and other sewing supplies. Sew Dee-Liteful is located at 45 SE D Street in Madras, site of the former dance studio, and years ago the old Shangri-La café. Davida opened the shop at the location in October of last year. Sew Dee-Liteful hours are Thurs- days 12-4 p.m.; and Friday through Monday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ap- pointments are also welcome. In her other job, Davida works as the administrative assistant at the Madras-Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce. Her husband Ken is the district manager of Abby’s Pizza. The Sew Dee-Liteful Quilt Shop is more than a business, as for Ms. Plaisted the art of sewing has al- ways been part of her life. “In school I loved Home Economics,” Davida says, “and growing up I sewed a lot.” She opened Sew Dee-Liteful “because I want to sell fabric, and I’ve wanted a place where people can come in and sew,” she says. There are weekly open sew ses- sions Mondays and Thursdays. Davida works at the shop mostly on the weekends, while also work- ing there are team members Minda Morton, and Cheryl and Larry Armitage.
