Christmas Sale!

Merry Christmas and happy Holidays. I hope your Thanksgiving went well. My (Jessie) oven decided not to work! I was thankful for a neighbor that let me use her oven and I'm sure we'll be remembering that particular holiday for a long time to come.

Right now it's raining and snowing and it's so bleak out that we've decided to spruce up the shop, deck the halls and offer another big sale. Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th. We wanted to do something fun to combat the early nights and general gloom. With that in mind any fabric with the color red or green in it will be 25% off, and all bundles will be 20% off.

This will be a perfect time to stock up on your red and green grunge and any other fabrics you've had
your eye on.

If it's time to take your quilting to the next level, or like me, your a quilt beginner, we'll be offering a quilt binding class. Judy Allen is teaching the "Basics of Quilt Binding"  Wednesday the 16th from 2-5. Cost is $20. 

Stay warm, and see you next week!
Happy Sewing,
Jessie and Sue

Behind the Scenes...

This is Sue and I wanted to show off my office because it's actually clean! So, I thought maybe you'd all like a behind the scenes. I wish I had taken a before picture, but suffice it to say while the showroom may be filled with cherry fabric lined up in nice little rows, my office was filled with bolts, swatches and scraps, to say nothing of the paperwork taking over. There was barely room to walk and it's very hard to focus with stuff everywhere.

New year means it's time to clean and organize. New shelves, folders and binders. Ahhhhh now isn't that better? I can actually breath in here. When Jessie came in and saw all the floor space she did a little tap dance.

A new year is also a good time to start a new way of doing things in the store. I've been thinking about digitizing the shop for a while so that we can be sure that what we have in the store is what we have online. It makes a lot of sense when it comes to ordering and doing inventory but the amount of work it is going to take to put every little thing in the computer has stopped me...Until now. We've begun digitizing the shop. It's going to take a while to get to where we are actually able to use all the equipment and it's going to be a lot of man hours but the ladies are supportive; at the very least they're excited to use the scan gun. I hope you will  be patient with us as we figure it all out and get the bugs taken care of (A shop run by women who love sewing usually means we're not the most technical gals around).

Don't forget about our We-Love-Our-Customer-Sale. Thursday February 12 1-8pm. Come in for great prices, giveaways, treats, coffee and chocolates. I really hope to see you there.  

See you soon.
Love,
   Sue

New Fabric and a Valentine's Sale.

Just wanted to pop in and let you know about some new fabrics and to remind you about our upcoming sale.

We got new Kaufman fabric in and it's finally been put on the website. It's really nice and has a sort of muted modern look to it. The solids have great texture. You can see it HERE. We also got in several Kaufman precuts.

Kaufman charm packs HERE.

Kaufman fat quarter bundle HERE.

Even though we're in the midst of a blizzard and it's hard to imagine Valentine's day, it is coming. Our Valentine's-We-Love-Our-Customer-Sale is almost upon us! Thursday February 12th 1-8pm. Along with our $5 a yard fabric and discounted books and precuts, we'll be offering wonderful sweets and drinks. And for every yard of fabric you buy you'll be entered to win a giveaway. I hope we'll see you there. I'm hoping to have a new (pink) skirt made up for the occasion.

Valentine's Day Sale.

I love Valentine's day.  I think a day that celebrates love is special. I like red and pink and think they're really fetching together. I enjoy chocolate and going on dates and wearing cute dresses. So maybe it's cliche but I'm all about Valentine's day. One of things I love is fabric and this job. Those of us who work here are so happy to be around the wonderful, creative, customers that come into the shop. So, we decided to have a Valentine's Sale to show our appreciation and to spend more time with all of you.

Still so much fabric on Sale.

 Thursday February 12th from 1pm-8pm we'll be opening boxes of chocolates, pouring glasses of wine and brewing some coffee to share with you. Sale fabric will be $5 a yard and for every yard of fabric you buy you'll be entered to win a gift from the shop. Precuts and fat quarter bundles will also be on sale, 20% off.  

If you've been looking for a new project then check out My Enchanted Garden by Gretchen Gibbons. We're doing this project for our wool club and it's such fun. The second picture below is part way through Sue's first block. The first month you buy the book and the kit. Each month after we'll offer a kit for that block. The book is $27.99 and the first kit is $17.50.

This is what the finished block will look like.

Coming along.

We're well into the doldrums of winter. We've got so many great projects and beautiful fabric.  Come into the shop for inspiration and to beat the winter blues.

Happy Sewing,
Love,
Jessie and Sue

Kit of the Week

Hello lovely sewing friends. While it's always hard to come back from a wonderful vacation, I'm glad to be home among the magic of my everyday life, which includes wonderful fabrics and projects waiting for me. Also my day lilies were in full bloom, and my baby birds had flown from their nest, all beautiful things to make homecoming sweet.

There was also a new Kit of the Week waiting for me! This one is a Wool kit that is so playful I almost can't stand it. From Plays with Wool Designs it's the Jelly Beans Mat kit. The finished design measures 8'' X 8'' and comes with all the wool you'll need and the pattern. Price is $12. Come in this week to snag one for yourself.

Were also putting a quilt kit on sale. From Pieces of my heart it's the Crossover Layer Cake Quilt. Kit includes all the fabric you'll need from the basic Grey, Hello Luscious Layer cake and fabric for the border. Originally $85 it's on sale for $68, 20% off the original. This quilt is very summery perfect for this time of year.

Finished Quilt. So summery.

Lastly, we've gotten in the fabric bundles for the Day Break quilt from Jaybird quilts.. This kit will include the pattern, fabric for the biding and background and the shimmer fat quarter Bundle used in the quilt. The price is $152.

Friends, I hope you are enjoying summer and all her bounty, even if enjoying it means staying in the air-conditioned house sewing sweet projects.
Happy Sewing,
Love,
Jessie and Sue
