We are pleased to announce our latest Block of the Month program – “Block of Many Colors II”. It  is available now for sign-up.

Like it’s first namesake, it uses only one block throughout the 12 months. By  moving the fabric around they appear as different blocks. 

The 20 fabrics contained within the blocks were chosen to coordinate with a stained glass sunflower print that forms the setting triangles and center of each block.

See shop/web for details.

Congratulations Jean French for being drawn as our bi-monthly Long Arm 20% off Coupon winner. 

As part of our newsletter publishing, we draw a name from our Long-Arm appointment calendar.  Eligible entries include anyone who had scheduled & kept a quilt check-in appointment during the prior two months.

 

To all customers, their husbands and other couch lovers, we did not get rid of the two sofas and magazines at the front of our store.  They have just been relocated to the back of the store where you like to watch the longarm machines. 

You will also notice we’ve moved our Janome machine demo area to our front window for better use of our retail area.

 

Don’t “shop ‘til you drop!”

Stop by any of Bluffton downtown eateries for good food. Eat first, then bring the receipt into Forever In Stitches on the same day for an additional immediate 10% off all regular priced products [services and sewing machines are excluded]. This is in addition to what you will earn in Velvet Value Vouchers!

We have just stocked these new folding portable pressing tables.  They are designed to be the perfect height to set by any sewing machine area and allow one to sew and press without having to stand up.

They have a pressing surface of 20” x 24½”  and stands 26½” off the floor. 

When in their folded position, they have a convenient carrying handle and weighing a mere 9½” lbs they are perfect to take along to retreats and sewing group meetings.

Our mother, Alice Peter, extends her thanks for the many cards and well wishes she’s received during her recovery.  She’s doing well with her re-hab at Richland Manor and is looking forward to getting back home soon.
