Thank you!

My sister, Becky and I want to thank all of you that have extended your prayers and “Get Well” wishes for our mother. Mom continues to be hospitalized since Thanksgiving having to undergo the removal of her left leg below the knee. Thank You!

Year-End 20% - 25% Sale

We hadn’t planned to have a sale, but we have been shipped too many new collections and need more shelf space!

Therefore, December 26 -29 (during normal business hours) all quilting products are 20% off. And if you finish a fabric bolt, an additional 5% off applies bringing your savings to 25%. And as an added bonus, VVV-Cards will be rewarded on the sale purchases, so you can save again later too!

There are some exceptions to the sale: Fat Quarters, sewing machines, long-arm and related services, classes, special orders, PMS kits, BOMs and past orders.

Janome Sewing Machines

As we were only able to notify our email subscribers that we are now selling Janome sewing machines, we are continuing our incredible, introductory special prices through Saturday, December 29^th.

After that time new and different pricing and packages will be available.

New Block of Many Colors II BOM

Our “Block of Many Colors” BOM won immediate wide acceptance, and the demand quickly and vastly exceeded the supply. Clients still lament over missing out on this BOM.

Having chosen a new setting fabric, which has been delivered, we are planning a new Block of Many Colors II, to hopefully start in February. However, we still have to make the design modifications and make the display quilt!

When the display quilt is finished we should have about 60 BOMs available, so stay tuned to the web-site or come in to the shop from time to time so you won’t miss out.

Long-Arm Thank You

In 2007 we did extended the long-arm Christmas Cut-Off until December 20, 2007. This created an unheard of ability to submit a holiday top on December 18^th and have it delivered on the 19^th!

For this, we owe our gratitude to two groups of people:

“Thank you” to all those who had projects that were not needed until after the holidays, and graciously, selflessly, and anonymously gave their “place in line” to others.

And, “Thank you” to our long-armers: Ruth, Candy & Jolene. These ladies operated the two machines, six days a week! That is dedications that we all appreciate!
