I think it's finally Spring! |
I don't know about you all, but I'm sure glad warmer weather is on its way. I love this time of year...everything is coming to life...the grass is turning green...the trees are budding out...the flowers are waking up after their long winter's nap and pollen is in the air! No, I really do love this time of year..it just doesn't always like me. It won't be too much longer before we can plant flowers and everything will be in full color and beautiful. We've done spring cleaning at the shop and it looks pretty good, if I do say so myself! So you know what that means....we have added more to our clearance department and we are having a Spring Cleaning Sale. We have some lovely new fabrics in and believe it or not….some new Christmas. Of course...new patterns and books, too!
We’re going Green for 2009….every time you use your own bag for your purchases you will receive a chance for a monthly $20.00 gift certificate. Or you can use our special tote bag (sells for $10) and receive 2 chances each purchase instead of 1 chance. Great for you and great for the environment!

2009 Quilter's Harvest 2nd Saturday This year we are offering 3 different programs. The first is called "Easy Does It."

You can pick either the 9 or 10:30 session on the 2nd Saturday of the month for instruction and show and tell or the 3rd Thursday anytime. Blocks are $6.00 in January and any time that you miss getting your block completed for the next month. It’s not too late to join in on the fun. Call the shop if you have any questions.
