  • Hey everyone - can you believe this weather? Awesome, huh?!? And April is almost here, so it's just going to get better, right? Speaking of April, we are planning an April Fool's Day sale, which will run from April 1st through the 3rd (that's this Thursday through Saturday).

  • It's buy three get one free! You can buy 3 of any one thing and get the fourth free. For example, 3 pre-cut fat quarters - get the fourth free; 3 books - get the fourth free; 3 yards of one fabric- get the fourth free; 3 scissors - get the fourth free; you get the picture. We have SO many new bolts of fabric since the beginning of the year, I think we lost track at over 100, so it's probably over 150 by now!

  • So if you haven't been in lately, you have to come in and check it out. We have LOTS of new batiks, LOTS of new kid prints like Veggie Tales and Paddington Bear, baby prints, new panels including a cloth book panel, and so much more, I can't name it all!

  • Classes: Our monthly Party with Patrick is coming up Tuesday April 20th at 5:00, a cute butterfly candle mat. Pam Rule will be teaching a fast, easy, beginner-friendly pattern called "Strips and Ladders" soon. I think it's set for April 17th, so call the shop for details.We're still hoping for another kuspuk class from Lonnie.... Come in and see us soon!

Thanks for shopping with us!

Hi everyone!
Why is it that every time of year seems like a busy time of year? You'd think that the beginning of March wouldn't be too busy, but of course it is, and here I am trying to get an email out in time for you to get the information in time!!

So the most important thing is the SALE coming up this next week! Wed March 10 thru Wed March 17 we'll be having 20% off all fabrics! This includes pre-cut fat quarters - not cut-while-you-wait fat quarters - but otherwise there's a half-yard minimum cut to get the sale. Other exclusions are the sale trunk, and there's no punch cards punched on sale items.

Another promotion going on is on our Handi-quilter longarm machines. If you've been waiting for a good time to buy one, now is the time! Handi Quilter is giving you FREE SHIPPING if you order between now and April 4th, and it's shipped by April 30th.

Speaking of longarm quilting, we have an upcoming class on March 20th for anyone who has taken our beginner training on our machine. Shana Clay will be down from North Pole to teach us some good tips and techniques.Shana is a wealth of information!

This weekend is the guild's Spring Fling, if you haven't heard! Sounds like it's gonna be a great time PLAYING with threads and fabric! The theme is Playtime :) March 27th will be the guild's second March craft day, doing the applique' on a wonderful tote that we'lll finish on April 10th. Eddy will be teaching it.

The following Tuesday (the 16th) is our Party with Patrick. The theme is Go Fly a Kite, so you can imagine the cute wallhanging we'll be making. I think, though, that the wind we've been having lately has been a bit much for a kite! Whew!

We'll let you know what else is coming up for April & beyond. Remember - March 20th is National Quilting Day! Make sure you celebrate quilting this month, and enjoy every minute of it!
